Episode 539: What You Need To Know About The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie But Are Afraid To Ask

Feb 28th, 2026 11:00 PM

Ed's points: 1. An "elderly abduction from home" disappearance is exceedingly rare. 2. Burglaries and disappearances rarely go together. 3. Money doesn't solve disappearances. 4. Ransom notes don't look or sound like that. 5. The police and PI's don't know what they're doing.
