Chilling New Ransom Demand Claims Video Shows Nancy Guthrie With Main Kidnapper Before She Died?
About this episode
The person who has repeatedly contacted TMZ claiming to know the identities of Nancy Guthrie’s kidnappers is now making an even bigger claim: that he has video of Nancy with the “main guy” on what may have been the last day of her life. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the latest alleged ransom communication, the new Bitcoin demand, the claim of a hidden phone containing video, photos, names, addresses, and information about two people allegedly involved in Nancy’s kidnapping. Digital forensics expert Heather Barnhart joins Ashleigh to explain what investigators can learn from email headers, crypto wallets, AI-generated messages, machine ID cookies, cell phones, and the digital trail criminals often leave behind. Is this new “video” claim the break investigators need, or the cruelest scam yet in the search for Nancy Guthrie?
