as posted by the channelInside the Nancy Guthrie Case: Are the Ransom Notes Real?
As the harrowing search for Nancy Guthrie—the 84-year-old mother of TODAY show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie—enters another critical phase, major questions surround the communications sent by her abductors.
In this episode of Break the Case, former FBI Special Agent Jen Coffindaffer breaks down the psychological and behavioral profiling behind the case. For those doubting the legitimacy of the first two ransom notes sent to media outlets and TMZ, we look directly at how the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) operates. Would federal authorities put a grieving family through the agonizing process of pleading with captors if they didn't believe those notes were authentic?
We dive deep into the timeline, the heartbreaking public appeals from Savannah Guthrie, and the chilling reality of a ransom plot gone horribly wrong.
