Crime Talk with Scott Reisch

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store Federal agents, ransom notes, Bitcoin demands and a missing 84-year-old grandmother. Tonight we break down the $6 million Bitcoin ransom tied to the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, mother of "Today" anchor Savannah Guthrie. Was this a sophisticated, targeted operation… or are scammers hijacking a family's nightmare for profit? We'll go through the timeline, the forensics, the ransom messages, and what investigators are really looking at behind the scenes. Drop your thoughts in the comments – is this a real abduction-for-ransom… or an inside mess spiraling out of control? #CrimeTalk #NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TrueCrime #Kidnapping #Bitcoin

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store An 84-year-old grandmother vanishes from her Tucson home… and the ransom notes say she's "safe but scared."   Tonight we break down the latest in the Nancy Guthrie abduction: DNA on the porch, the mystery white van, the Bitcoin demands, and what investigators are saying about the family and so-called "inside job" theories.    We'll separate facts from speculation and talk about what really happens in a case like this.   #NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TrueCrime #CrimeTalk #BreakingNews #MissingPerson

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store The timeline is getting darker. The doorbell camera dies at 1:47 a.m., motion hits at 2:12, her pacemaker disconnects around 2:30—and 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie is gone. We break down the NEW evidence: blood on the porch, the missing camera, the fake ransom arrest, and why the FBI says nobody is ruled out. Scott walks through the working theories—random snatch, targeted grab, or someone with inside knowledge—and what charges we're really talking about if the kidnappers are caught. Nancy still needs life-saving medication. This is a race against time, not a TV script. #CrimeTalk #NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #CrimeTalkLive

Tonight, we break down everything we know about the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today anchor Savannah Guthrie: forced entry, missing cameras, pacemaker data around 2 a.m., and the mysterious ransom notes sent to TMZ and others. Scott will walk through the timeline, what the forensic evidence really suggests, and what charges and federal enhancements could be coming if this is confirmed as a kidnapping for ransom. No suspects named. No arrests. The clock is ticking, and Nancy desperately needs her medication. #CrimeTalk #CrimeTalkLive #NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TrueCrime #BreakingNews

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store New details from investigators paint a darker picture inside Nancy Guthrie's Tucson home. DNA confirmed as hers, signs of forced entry, blood drops toward the driveway and a missing doorbell camera all point to foul play – not a voluntary disappearance. In tonight's episode, Scott breaks down the timeline, the tech clues from her pacemaker and Apple Watch, and what this all means for the hunt to find her alive.

How far back did the trouble with Nick Reiner really go? Tonight we break down explosive new claims from a former rehab roommate who says Nick "f***ing hated" his parents — especially Rob — even as they showed up to every session trying to save him. We'll walk through the conservatorship, the med change, the possible relapse, and what these resentments could mean for his defense and competency going forward. Grab your notebook. This is what happens when untreated mental illness, addiction, and family loyalty collide in Hollywood. https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store/  

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store A guy allegedly walks into MDC Brooklyn, says he's FBI, waves random paperwork and tries to spring an inmate… with a BBQ fork in his backpack.

Idaho is reportedly done babysitting Bryan Kohberger. After nonstop grievances from solitary, the Department of Correction is now working to ship him out of state under the Interstate Corrections Compact. Tonight we break down what's really going on: his complaints from J-Block, the threats of self-harm, the cost of housing a high-profile killer, and what a transfer would mean for the victims' families and the case. Does Kohberger actually get what he's been asking for… or is this Idaho's way of saying "good riddance"? #CrimeTalk #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #PrisonLife #LegalAnalysis

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store Hours before Rob and Michele Reiner were brutally killed, Rob allegedly told people at a Hollywood Christmas party that he was petrified of his own son. Tonight, Scott breaks down what reportedly happened at Conan O'Brien's gathering, Nick Reiner's escalating mental health and substance issues, and how a family's worst fear became a double-homicide case. We'll talk conservatorships, medication changes, the argument at the party, and what this all means for Nick's defense and possible insanity claims. Did the system fail the Reiners after every red flag was already waving? Let's talk about it. #NickReiner #RobReiner #TrueCrime #CrimeTalk #LegalAnalysis #MentalHealth

A Texas jury just acquitted former Uvalde school police officer Adrian Gonzales on all 29 counts tied to the Robb Elementary massacre. This is the same officer who taught the active-shooter class… and walked out of court a free man. Tonight we break down the evidence, the strategy, the law – and what this verdict really means for accountability the next time kids are trapped in a classroom. Grab a seat, it's time to talk about who, if anyone, is actually responsible. #CrimeTalk #Uvalde #AdrianGonzales #RobbElementary #TrueCrime #ScottReisch

New reporting says Nick Reiner is "almost childlike," delirious, and reportedly not competent to stand trial for the brutal stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Tonight, Scott breaks down what "not competent to proceed" actually means, how a medication change may have helped flip this case on its head, and what comes next: psych hospital, insanity plea, or a long road back to trial. We'll walk through the crime, the conservatorship history, the TMZ documentary claims, and why competency and insanity are not the same thing under California law.

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store/ New reporting shows Nick Reiner wasn't just "troubled" – he was under a yearlong mental-health conservatorship and on heavy antipsychotics years before his parents were killed. Then the meds were changed… and everything spiraled. Tonight, Scott breaks down the conservatorship, the medical decisions, the warning signs, and what prosecutors will do with all of it in court. Was this a tragedy no one could stop—or a system that saw the danger and still came up short? Stay until the end: we talk insanity defenses, LPS law, and what "they knew he was dangerous" will sound like to a jury. #CrimeTalk #NickReiner #RobReiner #TrueCrime #MentalHealthAndTheLaw

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store/ Barry Morphew stood up in a Colorado courtroom and, once again, said he's not guilty of murdering his wife Suzanne—despite her remains being found and an autopsy showing an animal tranquilizer in her system. We'll break down his new not-guilty plea, the October 2026 trial date, the mountain of discovery, and how this "do-over" case landed in the hands of a brand-new prosecution team after the first DA was disbarred. Scott Reisch brings the defense perspective: what the state got wrong last time, what's changed with Suzanne's body and the BAM evidence, and whether a jury is really going to buy Barry's story now. Grab a beverage… this one has bad decisions, bad blood, and a very high-stakes second chance for everyone involved. #BarryMorphew #SuzanneMorphew #CrimeTalk #ScottReisch #TrueCrime #MurderTrial

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store/ A stunning new report says Nick Reiner's psychiatric meds were changed just weeks before his parents Rob and Michele, were stabbed to death. Was a medical decision the tipping point — and did anyone try to step in? Scott breaks down the diagnosis, the law, and how this could fuel an insanity defense… Grab your notebook, Crime Talkers – we're talking liability, mental health, and murder. #CrimeTalk #NickReiner #ReinerMurders #TrueCrime #InsanityDefense #MentalHealthAndCrime

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store/ A major shake-up in the Rob and Michele Reiner murder case: celebrity defense attorney Alan Jackson is OFF the case, and Nick Reiner walked into court today without his high-priced lawyer. A public defender has been subbed in and the arraignment is kicked down the road again. Tonight, Scott breaks down what Jackson's withdrawal really means, how it could affect any insanity or mitigation strategy, and why delays like this matter in a double-murder case. We'll also look at the timeline, the mental-health angle, and what comes next on February 23. #CrimeTalk #NickReiner #RobReiner #TrueCrime #LegalAnalysis #ScottReisch

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store/ Two cases, two courtrooms, and one theme: the system under a microscope. We break down Ashlee Buzzard's not guilty plea in the murder of her 9-year-old daughter Melodee, and why prosecutors are already positioning for life without parole. Then we turn to the Reiner double homicide: what does California law really say about insanity defenses, and how bad are the odds for Nick Reiner? Scott walks through the facts, timelines, and legal strategies the cameras aren't explaining. Stay to the end for the legal analysis you won't get from a headline. #TrueCrime, #CrimeTalk, #MelodeeBuzzard, #NickReiner, #LegalAnalysis, #CourtWatch

efore Rob and Michele Reiner were stabbed to death, police had already been to their Brentwood home multiple times. Welfare checks, mental-health calls, even a "family violence" report—all now sitting in a file next to two homicide death certificates. Today we walk through the documented police responses, what the death certificates actually say, and how Nick Reiner's own past admissions about addiction and violence fit into this timeline. Were these just routine calls in a troubled family, or a giant stack of red flags no one wanted to connect? Stick around to the end for the legal breakdown on what police, prosecutors, and even the family could realistically have done—and what this means for future cases. #TrueCrime, #CrimeTalk, #NickReiner, #RobReiner, #Parricide, #LegalAnalysis

Parricide is one of the rarest crimes on earth—and now the Nick Reiner case has dragged it into the spotlight. We break down what "parricide" really is, the four main offender types, and where Nick's history of addiction and reported schizophrenia might fit. We'll look at the Reiner case timeline, missed red flags, and why mental illness, abuse and flat-out entitlement can all play very different roles. Stay to the end for a hard look at whether this was preventable and what the law actually does with parricide defendants.

Hollywood tragedy meets hard law: Nick Reiner is charged with stabbing his parents, and now the fight turns to who's funding his defense.

Stay to the end for the legal bottom line and what this case could mean for future high-profile family murders.

Hollywood royalty, a Brentwood mansion, and a double-murder suspect who shares their last name—this isn't a movie, it's the Reiner family tragedy. Today we walk through what happened inside that house, how Rob and Michele Reiner were found, and why prosecutors say their own son Nick is responsible.

A 15-year-old girl found partially dismembered in a Tesla tied to rising artist d4vd, and a grand jury now dragging reluctant witnesses back into the light. At the same time, Idaho's version of the "Son of Sam" law leaves a door cracked open for Bryan Kohberger to theoretically profit from telling his side of the Moscow murders—if the families don't take every cent first. We break down the grand jury battle in Los Angeles, the management choices that raised eyebrows, and the legal fine print that keeps victims' families fighting long after sentencing. Subscribe, watch to the end, and tell us which is worse: the celebrity silence, or a system that still leaves room for killers to get paid.

Bryan Kohberger isn't just serving four life sentences—he's reportedly trying to build a serial killer "network" from inside Idaho's toughest prison. We break down reports that he's reaching out to other notorious offenders, his endless complaints about conditions (right down to the vegan fruit), and his alleged threats of self-harm to push for better housing. We also look at how prisons handle high-profile inmates, why attention and control still matter to Kohberger, and what this says about his mindset after the Idaho student murders. Subscribe, stay to the end, and let's talk about ego, manipulation, and why some killers never stop chasing significance.

Bryan Kohberger isn't just serving time—he's trying to negotiate the terms. Now he's using "self-harm" warnings to push for a better housing unit. We break down his complaints from J-Block, the supposed leverage play for a medical ward, and what this says about power, control, and notoriety behind bars. We'll also revisit the Idaho student murders, the plea deal that avoided trial, and why the unanswered "why" still gives him psychological leverage. Stick around, subscribe, and let's separate genuine crisis from weaponized manipulation. #TrueCrime, #BryanKohberger, #IdahoMurders, #CrimeTalk, #PrisonLife, #LegalAnalysis

The alleged DNC/RNC pipe bomber is finally in cuffs—only took almost five years and a national manhunt. We break down the arrest of Brian Cole Jr., the January 5 pipe bomb timeline, and what investigators are (and aren't) saying about motive and evidence. Plus updates on the Brian Walshe trial, Derek Chauvin's latest attempt to undo his conviction, missing coach Travis Turner, predator cases, and our dumb criminal of the day.

Tonight's episode is one long reminder that reality doesn't need writers. Judges tossing fraud verdicts, murders wrapped in "explanations," and a pee-soaked crime career. We break down the Minnesota Medicaid acquittal, the latest in the Brian Walshe trial, brutal family and domestic cases, and the OnlyFans stunt that ended in county jail. Plus, a "This Day in Legal History" segment on how our courts got here and where the Eighth Amendment fits in. Stick around, hit subscribe, and let's try to make sense of the nonsense together.

Luigi Mangione is back in a Manhattan courtroom as his lawyers try to throw out the gun, the silencer, and that infamous notebook. At the same time, in Massachusetts, jurors hear Brian Walshe's chilling Google searches: "How to dispose of a body," "Can you be charged with murder without a body," and more. Tonight we break down what really happened in court, what the judges could decide, and what it all means for both cases moving forward.

As the one-year mark of Brian Thompson's murder approaches, accused shooter Luigi Mangione is back in court — and this week could change everything. Pre-trial motions will decide whether the gun, backpack, journal and key statements ever reach a jury. Did officers cross the line during Luigi's arrest in Pennsylvania, or were they following the rules with a dangerous fugitive? If the judge suppresses the gun and manifesto-style writings, how much of the case is left? Scott breaks down the motions, the constitutional arguments, what "fruit of the poisonous tree" really means, and how this battle could reshape both the state and federal prosecutions.

A Florida teen is found dead under a cruise ship bed — now the autopsy says asphyxiation and her 16-year-old stepbrother is under suspicion. At the same time, 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard is still missing after her mother claims she "left her with a couple" from a Utah zoo. Tonight we break down the evidence, the family dynamics, and what investigators may be looking at next in both cases. Join Scott Reisch for real legal analysis, not headline spin.

Shocking new details are emerging in the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose dismembered remains were found in the frunk of a Tesla registered to singer d4vd. Sources say the body was partially frozen, potentially making it harder for the medical examiner to even determine how she died. Tonight we break down what investigators believe happened, why freezing and dismemberment matter so much legally, how Tesla data and digital footprints could crack this case, and why police now believe a second suspect may be involved. Celeste ran away, disappeared, and ended up in a car tied to a rising music star. The question now is simple: who is responsible, and will anyone be charged? Stay to the end for legal analysis, timelines, and what might happen next in this investigation.

Tonight on Crime Talk, we start with a Caribbean cruise nightmare: 18-year-old Anna Kepner is found dead, wrapped in a blanket and hidden under a bed in her cabin — and now a teenage stepbrother is a suspect as the FBI takes over the case. We'll walk through the timeline, the family dynamics, the prior allegations, and what investigators are actually saying (and not saying) about what happened on that ship. Plus: • Ashlee Buzzard's false imprisonment charge dismissed while Melodee is still missing • Singer D4vd officially named a suspect in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez Buckle up. These stories are going in a very dark direction.

Ashlee Buzzard just walked into a California courtroom on a felony false imprisonment charge — and still won't say where her missing 9-year-old daughter, Melodee Buzzard, is. Today, we break down what happened in court, what this charge really means, and why investigators are still calling Melodee "at risk." Is this pressure point enough to finally get answers… or are we watching another case drift into silence? Stay tuned for the full legal analysis and breakdown only on Crime Talk with Scott Reisch.  

Today's Crime Talk dives into major new developments in multiple cases. • Exclusive new footage shows Ashlee Buzzard loading boxes into a van as the search for missing 9-year-old Melodee Buzzard intensifies. • A shocking twist in the D4vd / Celeste Rivas investigation — detectives are now focusing on previously undisclosed movements and disturbing new evidence. • PLUS: The tragic murder of Kylie Toberman, a 14-year-old girl found in an RV, and her step-uncle is now charged with murder and sexual assault.

Full audio of the Supreme Court oral argument in Rutherford v. United States (No. 24-820), argued November 12, 2025. In this case, the Justices consider whether federal judges may treat nonretroactive sentencing changes in the First Step Act—including the end of mandatory "stacking" under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)—as "extraordinary and compelling reasons" to grant compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). Listen as the Court presses both sides on sentencing disparities, the Sentencing Commission's new policy statement, and what fairness looks like for people serving decades-long terms under outdated law.
