Investigators now believe the two February ransom notes sent to the Guthrie family came from the person who took Nancy — and one of them said she was already dead. *** ANYONE WITH INFORMATION CAN CONTACT THE FBI AT 1-800-CALL-FBI, OR THE PIMA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AT 520-351-4900.SOURCES, LINKS, AND PRINT VERSION: https://weirddarkness.com/guthrie20260627Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

A note arrived at a Tucson television station after Nancy Guthrie vanished from her home. It didn't demand money. It didn't make threats. Investigators believed it was real — and kept its contents quiet for months. Now that what it appears to say is public, it may be the most consequential development in the entire case.It's a legal breakdown with defense attorney Eric Faddis and retired FBI special agent Robin Dreeke.Tony Brueski digs into the legal weight of that note and what it means for a prosecution that still has no one in custody. Can a message sent anonymously, through a server designed to hide the writer, be used as evidence that a crime ended the way the note describes? What does a prosecutor have to do to turn words on a page into proof in a courtroom?This is the state's side of a brutally difficult case: no remains, no arrest, and her family still waiting. Tony walks through how circumstantial evidence builds the body of the crime without a body, why felony-murder law could change what prosecutors must prove, and why experts say a case this visible won't wait for a perfect set of facts before someone is charged.He also lays out the evidence the state already controls — the blood, the pacemaker timestamp, the doorbell footage, the backpack traced to one retailer — and which single piece a smart prosecutor builds the rest of the case around.The note may be the thread that holds it all together. Or it may be the thread a defense attorney pulls first.Listen now.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nancy Guthrie has been declared legally dead. No one has found her. For the people trying to hold someone responsible for what happened inside her Tucson home, that creates a problem most people assume is fatal to a case — and it isn't.This is a legal breakdown featuring attorney Eric Faddis and retired FBI agent Robin Dreeke.Tony Brueski lays out how a prosecutor actually builds a homicide case with no body, no named suspect, and a pile of circumstantial evidence. Blood confirmed to be hers on the porch. A pacemaker that went dark in the middle of the night. A masked figure caught reaching for the camera. A backpack you can only buy in one store. None of it, on its own, names anyone. Together, it might be enough.Then there's the note — the one mailed to a local newsroom that didn't ask for money and instead said something investigators took seriously enough to keep quiet for months. What that note appears to admit may be the closest thing this case has to a confession, and how a prosecutor uses it could decide everything.This is a clear-eyed look at the machinery that grinds behind a high-profile disappearance: the grand jury, the sealed warrants, the lab work that can't be rushed, and the legal theory that could let the state win without ever proving anyone meant for an 84-year-old woman to die. Tony also gets into why the silence the public reads as failure can be exactly what a careful prosecution looks like from the inside.The question isn't whether this case is hard. It's whether hard is the same as impossible.Listen to the full breakdown.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The protective custody theory asks you to believe the FBI faked the entire Nancy Guthrie investigation. But the specific places investigators searched tell a different story. Agents examined culverts, drainage areas, and undeveloped properties between Nancy's home and the major routes out of Tucson. A team was photographed inside a drainage area near Annie Guthrie's home with flashlights. Search-and-rescue crews swept desert terrain around the Catalina Foothills neighborhood. If you know where someone is — if they're alive and in your custody — you don't send agents into drainage ditches. That's an evidence recovery operation. That's what you do when you're looking for something that was discarded or deposited. The technology deployment tells the same story — a specialized signal sniffer mounted on a helicopter to detect Nancy's pacemaker signal. President Trump criticized the leak of that method for potentially compromising the search. You don't create a national operational security controversy around a fake search. And the homicide reclassification on June 9th ended any remaining possibility: you don't prepare a no-body murder prosecution for a person who is alive. Tony Brueski walks through the full operational footprint and explains why this theory is not unlikely — it's impossible.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this recap, Lesley Logan and Brad Crowell unpack the deeper implications of Adrian Starks' conversation on purpose, grief, and the resistance that comes from fighting your own path. They explore how purpose isn't something you find, but something you actively build, and why the attempt to force alignment often backfires. The episode tackles the unglamorous realities of change, self-reflection, and what happens when perfection gets in the way of progress. Whether you're struggling with imposter syndrome or questioning your direction, this conversation invites you to reclaim agency over your own story. If you have any questions about this episode or want to get some of the resources we mentioned, head over to LesleyLogan.co/podcast https://lesleylogan.co/podcast/.

Instead, what clearly seems actionable is purpose is something that we are out there doing, and whether or not we chose to do it, we're still out there doing it.Lesley Logan 0:21  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 1:04  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap, where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the purposeful convo I had with Adrian Starks in our last episode. You know what, I think that's what we said the first time he was on, because his podcast is all about being purposeful, so if you haven't yet listened to that interview, you can pause this and go listen to that one.Brad Crowell 1:23  What is he like? 190-something?Lesley Logan 1:26  It was like 151. Brad's gonna look it up and... and you can then come back and listen to this one, or you can listen to this one, because we chat about a bunch of stuff, and then our favorite things. And then you can go listen to the amazing one, because you have all the choice in this world. You get to do what you want to do, and we got to meet a bunch of you amazing podcast listeners when we were in Arizona the other day.Brad Crowell 1:46  It was 191.Lesley Logan 1:47  191Brad Crowell 1:48  Yes, I can't believe.Lesley Logan 1:50  Wow, nailed it.Brad Crowell 1:51  I did.Lesley Logan 1:52  I don't even know. You must have cheated. You must have seen it.Brad Crowell 1:55  I heard it in the episode.Lesley Logan 1:56  You heard it in the episode.Brad Crowell 1:59  Because I went back and listened to it. Lesley Logan 2:00  I was like I love you, but there's no way you came up with that on your own. Anyways, we met a bunch of listeners at the POT Arizona last month.Brad Crowell 2:10  We sure did.Lesley Logan 2:11  I love that you love the pod, and also I heard that people are loving the solo episodes. If that's the case, please leave a review and tell me what you want me to talk about. Also, another way you can support this show is to become an OPC member, because when you're an OPC member, that money also supports this podcast. Just be honest, so the best thing you can do is to go be a member of OPC. One, you actually get extra stuff out of it. If you like these little pep talks that I do on the podcast that are solo, at the end of every one of my classes, I give you a little pep talk. It's not a mantra, but it's something close. So you can go to opc.me/40, and then you can join OPC for 40 days for $40, and then you can see how great we are. Okay, today is June 25, 2026. It's Bourdain Day.Brad Crowell 3:00  It's Bourdain Day, and this is.Lesley Logan 3:02  A quote from Mr. Anthony Bourdain: "If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to move as far as you can, as much as you can, across the ocean or simply across the river, walk in someone else's shoes, or at least eat their food. It's a plus for everybody." Anthony Bourdain backed up his words with action, all the while urging us to do a lot more than simply try new foods in exotic places with fascinating strangers. He desperately wanted us to break out of our comfort zones and see the world in person through the eyes of people we would never otherwise meet. Watching his TV shows, first No Reservations, and then Parts Unknown, enabled us to spend time with the real-life explorer who trotted around the world in search of, well, the things that make us all human: food, yes, but also love, spirit, and passion. Bourdain, who suffered from depression, took his own life in 2018 at the age of 61. "Anthony was my best friend," tweeted French chef and close friend Eric Ripert at the time. "Exceptional human being, so inspired and generous." Ripert, along with another longtime friend, José Andrés, who does some amazing work in this world, declared June 25, Bourdain's birthday, Bourdain Day in 2019. So, if you are thinking of suicide, or worried about a friend, or in need of emotional support, the Lifeline Network is available 24/7 across the US. Call 800-273-8255. I think there's also a short number, I feel like there's a short number that you can call, but we had a dear friend.Brad Crowell 4:20  You can call 988 in the United States.Lesley Logan 4:22  Thank you. Yeah, yeah, who worked with a suicide prevention network in Nevada. And life's really hard right now. It's harder than people think. You look at people and they seem to have it all together, and they don't. A lot of people are tired, a lot of people have a lot going on. So reach out to a friend you haven't heard from or talked to in a while. You just never know. You might help them out, but also make sure you have these numbers, because there are people who are experts who can also support.Brad Crowell 4:49  Yeah.Lesley Logan 4:50  Upcoming travel, Brad, predict this, because what, go ahead, Brad.Brad Crowell 4:54  Yeah, Anthony Bourdain was very inspirational for me. He was living the travel bug that I always had, and when I was in college, my friend and I used to watch his show every single week, No Reservations. I just loved that he was so angry at his producers in that show, and he would get so pissed about cursing and smoking cigarettes on TV. I guess it wasn't live, but on TV, and then.Lesley Logan 5:23  They could just edit it out.Brad Crowell 5:24  hey could have edited it out, but they didn't. Yeah, it just was really inspirational for me. And then he did some amazing stuff too. He was in Beirut when that.Lesley Logan 5:36  Yes! And then also, don't forget his wonderful documentary about food waste.Brad Crowell 5:40  Yeah, food waste.Lesley Logan 5:41  If you haven't seen it, you must see it.Brad Crowell 5:43  It's called Wasted!Lesley Logan 5:44  I think it's called Wasted!Brad Crowell 5:45  Yeah.Lesley Logan 5:45  We actually watched it, and the next day he died by suicide.Brad Crowell 5:48  Yeah.Lesley Logan 5:49  That was really tragic, and that documentary stuck with me. So it's really, really important, because we all need to be aware. In certain countries, they're doing a much better job about food waste than we are. Go Japan! You were commenting from the documentary, so yeah, for me.Brad Crowell 6:03  It was amazing because I never was a chef, but he worked in the food industry, I worked in the food industry, and I got his book Kitchen Confidential when I was in my early 20s. I just thought he was amazing. So, yep, in honor of Anthony Bourdain, and as Lesley was mentioning, if you or anyone you know is suffering with suicidal thoughts, there is support out there for you.Lesley Logan 6:28  Yeah.Brad Crowell 6:29  Yeah.Lesley Logan 6:29  In other news, there are no spots left in Elevate. Every single week in the last few weeks that you've heard that there are spots was a lie.Brad Crowell 6:37  They are sold out.Lesley Logan 6:40  For 2027 anyways. We are already taking applications for 2028. We'll be able to let you snag your spot and reserve it, and all that stuff. But we're going to have a wonderful Q&A call this summer on July 9, I believe it's at 1 PM Pacific time. You can go to lesleylogan.co/elevate to get on the waitlist. We'll have that call information, and you can register for the call. Oh, I should do ll.co/waitlist. Actually, sorry, my producer is doing this in real time, everyone. Anyways, what I want you to do is get on that waitlist, because I do update you monthly on when we have dates and when we're accepting applications, and when you can deposit. I know that 2028 will fill up as soon as we open up those applications, but that means you have a whole year-plus to protect those dates like your life once I figure out what they are. Lesley Logan 7:31  summer tour is coming, but the tickets are available. They've been available for a few weeks, actually a month to be precise, and many cities are sold out. You're like, "Lesley, now that I know you record this in the past-future, how do you know?" Because I do! When we were in Arizona, we actually met many people who were like, "Oh, I'm going to Tucson," and I was like, "Okay, we're probably out of spots in Tucson." So I know that some of these slots are sold out. You want to go to opc.me/tour. Our tours are sponsored by the wonderful Balanced Body and Contrology company. Balanced Body is celebrating 50 years, so it's a really big year for them. It's kind of amazing what they're doing, and it's really special. So I want you to make sure that you join us, because Balanced Body allows our tours to go to more than six places and to do it with a lot of fun. We're bringing Contrology products into the studio so you can try them out. And if you're new here...Brad Crowell 8:25  Welcome.Lesley Logan 8:25  Hi! We also have Pilates flashcards. Did you know that we do? You don't have to be a Pilates instructor to love them. They're actually really wonderful for helping you have access to great Pilates where you are. They're so great, in fact, that people steal my images all the fucking time to put them in their shitty books, but you can get the real thing with the best information that has been edited many times and has quality videos at opc.me/flashcards. Sorry, I'm a little pissed off over here about something, but I am. If you follow me on Instagram, you know how long this has been going on, and just as we were about to hit record, I found out another fucking person is stealing my images from my flashcards.Brad Crowell 9:08  Three more people.Lesley Logan 9:09  Three more people.Brad Crowell 9:10  Yeah, so it's a thing. That's crazy. Anyway, you should know what's crazy.Lesley Logan 9:16  Is that they thought someone wouldn't find out? You know what I mean?Brad Crowell 9:21  I mean, maybe they just don't care.Lesley Logan 9:22  Maybe they don't care, or they're like, "Oh, she only has like 30,000 followers, so no one will know." But my followers know me, and even people who don't follow me are telling me, because I am recognizable at any rate. But you can get my flashcards, the real deal, and support a small business who is going to take on some of these big-ass companies, because there is a company that is a big name that we're about to take down anyways. I'm excited about it. Lesley Logan 9:49  Before we get into... we used to do audience questions here. If you're new, you don't know that, so this is not a new thing for you. But if you're old and you're like, "Oh, I just popped in here on this one," we don't do that anymore. We answer questions on YouTube at 9 AM Pacific Time Live, and that is where I answer them. If you're a member, I answer questions wherever you are a member, so as long as it's part of your membership, right? If you're an agency member, you can ask business questions there. If you are an OPC member, I answer personal Pilates questions there—I answer all those. Plus, there's YouTube, and YouTube is free. People don't know that, but it is. It's free. You have to watch, according to one comment, a diabolical amount of commercials, but it's free. Yes, "diabolical" was the word that was used. However, what we decided to change this to is many of you want to help out people in your life, but often don't know how to help, and there are so many different shitstorms in the world, like, which firestorm do you help with? The reality is that you can help either by just sharing with a friend who needs to hear that this charity exists for them, or you can share your time, or you can share it on your platform, or you can give them money, even $2. Lesley Logan 10:55  So, because June is Pride Month, we are going to wrap up the month's theme with another wonderful LGBTQ+ charity. This is the Prism Foundation, and it was founded in 2021. The Prism Foundation was started to organize and execute initiatives for the LGBTQ+ community in the state of Arkansas, using a multifaceted approach to achieve the following outcomes: increase access to affirming and comprehensive healthcare, align resources that address barriers to care and health disparities among the community, and create safe spaces for both virtual and physical activities and services that serve LGBTQ+ Arkansas.Brad Crowell 11:32  Correct me if we're wrong here, but I think it's Arkansans.Lesley Logan 11:35  What is also exciting, because I was doing some research on them, they are also really aware of what is happening in the states that are surrounding them that are affecting trans people. Part of their vision is: "We are increasing access to healthcare as top of our priorities. We're also focused on creating pathways to fulfill our basic needs, including overcoming barriers to legal aid services and developing supportive community spaces physically and virtually." Lesley Logan 11:59  I think this is really important because unfortunately, and at the time of this recording, there have been some awful things that have been said about trans people from the government that we are under in this country. I won't even repeat his words, because they are too horrible to repeat, that he said this week. But we need to be protecting our people who are different than us, because the fucking people who are taking from you are billionaires. So support the LGBTQ+ people in your area, because one, they are beautiful human beings, and two, they are always there supporting.Brad Crowell 12:39  That's true, there's very much of an activism mentality in that community.Lesley Logan 12:45  Yeah.Brad Crowell 12:45  Really like.Lesley Logan 12:46  And also, my goodness, they have to be tired. I'm sure they are. Anyways, I really like what that Prism organization is doing. I think it has to be hard to do what they do in the areas that they're doing it, so if you want to support, there you go.Brad Crowell 13:05  You can go to their website at arprismfoundation.org to read more about what they are doing and how you could support them.Lesley Logan 13:14  And if that is not your area, because you're like, "I'm not Arkansan," or "I'm not in the Midwest," then look up ones in your area that are doing something locally for you, because there is always a local outlet of something, like we've talked about before on this podcast. We love supporting a restaurant because Bronze Cafe—everyone who's local to Las Vegas who listens to this show, when you buy meals from them, they support the LGBTQ mental health community center here.Brad Crowell 13:38  If you have an organization that is doing good things that we should find out about, and you want to be featured on the pod, call us and leave us a voicemail.Lesley Logan 13:49  I love that. Then it's your favorite charity.Brad Crowell 13:52  At 310-905-5534 and tell us why they're amazing. You can also submit wins, by the way, at beitpod.com/questions so that we can get you in on the Friday episode.Lesley Logan 14:09  Times now, Brad, I have had people tell me that they heard their win months after they submitted it, and it really made their day because they were having a rough day. So I tell people this. Also, just so you know, we've changed the Friday FYF. I bitch about something, and then you were gonna come, but we haven't had a chance for you to bitch about something.Brad Crowell 14:30  Oh, yes.Lesley Logan 14:31  Which is what we do at our other communities, and then I celebrate a win, and then I share their wins. That's cool, and I do a mantra, so we had a change to it because it's quite nice. Maybe my new "need a moment" is that all these people use my fucking image.Brad Crowell 14:46  Well, we'll save that for Friday's episode. Stick around, we'll be right back. Brad Crowell 14:51  All right, now let's talk about Mr. Adrian Starks. Adrian is a professional speaker, voice narrator, and host of the Your Purposeful Life podcast, who openly embraces his authentic, unpolished self, including his fun side as a comic card and superhero fanatic. Having shed the rigid suit-and-tie expectations of his early career, Adrian is deeply protective of the energy he puts into the world, intentionally choosing to step away from the microphone rather than record an episode if he's having a bad day. So, good vibes, right? As a fellow human seeking purpose, he helps his audience navigate what he identifies as the three continuous cycles of purposeful living, and encourages people to make a mess, figure out what works, and ultimately have fun with their journey.Lesley Logan 15:36  Well, we love mess over here. We love messy action, and we're so big on that. Yeah, I also love... I mean, we had a great conversation about evolution, but one of the things we talked about is he said when we try to make things perfect when they're not meant to be—well, nothing's supposed to be—there's going to be major resistance because everything has to flow a certain way. He used the metaphor of salmon noting their journey upstream against the flow of the river is what ultimately exhausts them, and I think that's so true. I think we try to get things to be so perfect, just like, you know, we make it too precious, and you kind of hold on to it too tight. Then you aren't able to hear amazing things or be curious to go a different direction, you know what I mean?Brad Crowell 16:19  I was just talking about the idea of, like, the more effort you put into controlling something, the more it slips through your fingers. And yeah, I mean, I totally get that. Here's how I equate this. This is going to be an amazing parallel for all you ultimate frisbee players out there, of which I know I'm speaking to the right audience. Obviously.Lesley Logan 16:40  I'm sure we have a good two.Brad Crowell 16:42  Clearly, clearly the right audience. I grew up playing very, very competitively, playing ultimate frisbee, and whenever you were gonna throw the frisbee all the way down the field—the disc, as it were, if you put all of your might into that throw, that huck, as it were, is what we would call it, inevitably, you would mess it up. It would curve to the right, or go out of bounds, or whatever. But if you took a half a second before that huge throw, and you just eased and paused when you threw, you paused, and then just let it happen—it would go where you wanted it to every time. It took a long time, and I could always tell as soon as I released the disc, like, "Oh man, I did not do that right." I feel like life is like that too. When you are forcing it, things do not go the way that you want them to, but when you go with the flow, you know, while you're directing it, then things seem to happen a lot more organically, usually. All the things, right?Lesley Logan 17:49  Yeah, it's like a tough balance, right, because.Brad Crowell 17:52  Still have to direct it.Lesley Logan 17:53  Well, because you don't want to just be blowing with the wind, but you also need to feel the flow, right? Like, there are some obstacles that tell us, like, "Not that door," right? That doesn't mean it's a stop sign, it's just like a doorway, like, "Nope, not that door." And I think it's like really understanding, you know, why are you doing this? Why are you doing any of this? Because if you can keep your "why" in mind, it can keep the perfection from taking over, because perfection will honestly end up making something so clean and perfect, no one wants to touch it and do it, or they don't really know what it is, and it's exhausting. It's exhausting to be perfect. Lesley Logan 18:30  Oh my god, there's just certain people in my life, whenever I see them, I'm like, "How long does it take them to get out the door?" Because we just saw someone this past weekend at an event, and every time I see her, I'm like, she's so perfectly coiffed, it must take forever to get out the door, because there's not a hair amiss. The outfit is... the nails match the shoes match the... I mean, like all of it. I'm like, I know how long it takes to get my nails done, so they're just gonna be what they are for four weeks. So, I don't know, I'm just saying this is... if you want to be my friend, don't be perfect, okay?Lesley Logan 19:06  The last thing I'll say is he explained that when we go against the grain of what our purposes are, it creates major resistance that makes us feel like we're not worthy. So, hello, my people who feel imposter syndrome, it's because you're going against the grain of your purpose. If we're truly good at where we are, while we always can improve, we don't need to be perfect. There is this thing... "improve" is the wrong word. We are always... this is something that happens with Pilates instructors that I meet. You always are going to be learning. There's never a point that you're not learning, but there's a difference between chasing down every single person to go through their version of a program with, and also just learning from the body in front of you today. You know what I mean? Every time I teach a new person, a new client, I learn a new way of explaining something. Today we were doing OPC spring training, and this wonderful person asked a great question. I was like, "You know what, I've explained this before, but never to a person with that brand of equipment, with that years of experience, with that understanding of the exercise." So even I am learning something I already know in a different way so I can explain it. It's just... there's ways to learn and improve yourself without having to constantly feel like you've gotta sign up for this next thing, you know? So, anyways.Brad Crowell 20:21  Stay tuned, because how do we know what our purpose is, you know? How do we even know if we're going against the grain? Stick around, because we're going to talk about that in the Be It action items. Brad Crowell 20:32  But what I really wanted to talk about myself was grief, which is interesting because it was an interesting topic that y'all skipped over. You were talking about grieving, not just like a person who might no longer be with us, or obviously a pet or any of that, but even an experience that was supposed to happen, but it didn't, you know? And you were very excited about it, or you had a lot of effort and planning into it. I mean, we know we've been talking about opening a studio for a really long time, and we spent a lot of money, we spent a lot of time at the beginning of this year and last year—beginning of this year like really thinking, planning. I mean, I can't even tell you how many phone calls I made to the city, and I spent hours putting together a plan, a business plan for this. And then three months in, we decided to pause the whole thing because we realized that we were pretty much forcing it, you know, because there was one key thing that was holding us up that was like, "Wait a minute, how are we going to solve this problem?" It was kind of like one of those, "Well, we're gonna... we could... we'll make it work. We'll figure it out. It's gonna..." you know. All of a sudden I was like, "Why do we need to do that? We don't even need to do the studio. It's just gonna cause a lot of stress. And what we could be doing right now is opening a major problem for ourselves." So what we decided to do instead was solve the problem that we would be opening for ourselves first, but that's going to take time.Lesley Logan 22:01  Yeah.Brad Crowell 22:02  Right. So even though we spent this time putting this whole plan together and decided to hit pause, it's interesting because, okay, there's actually another path that is going to set us up for success in the future when we do bring that studio back around. However, it doesn't mean that you don't feel bummed about it. I drive by the location that we picked out, that I've talked with the landlord.Lesley Logan 22:26  I know.Brad Crowell 22:27  And the neighbors, and the city about, and a contractor about.Lesley Logan 22:30  And I envisioned the sign.Brad Crowell 22:32  100 times.Lesley Logan 22:33  I still don't think it's not going to be in that center. I just think it's not that unit. It's just that unit needed way too much money. Yeah, not the rent, but the build-out was like jaw-dropping. It honestly made the grief a little bit easier, I'm not gonna lie, because it was such a "fuck no," you know what I mean? Like, it was just like no fucking way. And so, I do understand there's grief because that's not happening today, and so we still drive by it every single time, but I also think this is where good reflection comes from, too. It's like, in reflecting, it's all out of our control—the parts that are the obstacles, yeah. So I go to bed knowing we did the best we could with what we had in the moment, and had we not had this other stupid bill come through that we're like, "That's a fuck no," we probably would have forced the salmon up the stream a little bit. I think so, because we definitely.Brad Crowell 23:34  Would have.Lesley Logan 23:34  Anyway, would have made it work, but it would have been a hard stress.Brad Crowell 23:38  More complicated than it needed to be. Yeah, but.Lesley Logan 23:40  I do think there is a way you have to grieve changes. We have Elevate members who are like, "I'm grieving the teacher I used to be," because they used to just narrate a Pilates class, for lack of a simple thing. And it's like, "Well, no, now you get to watch it, and you get to see what it is." Part of you is excited because you know better now and you have these more potential possibilities now, but also there was a time that it felt easier, right? And you're a different person when you're in this unknown space. So, like, I'm excited when we open that studio. I'm past the grief thing, but also sometimes I look back at that studio, it would have been really great if it was a Pilates on it already.Brad Crowell 24:19  Yeah, well, that's the thing. You know, you were talking about how grief doesn't really go away because you had built a mental pattern around a person or a thing or an experience that was supposed to happen. You had built that into your thinking, and what ends up happening over time is we think that way a little bit less. It doesn't mean we don't think about the thing, but the expectations that we had alter, they shift, right? And so, you know, what Adrian was talking about was someone, I think he was talking about someone who died, if I recall, and he said sometimes he just needs to embrace when that emotion comes up. He embraces it, he leans into it. He's like, "It's okay for me to feel this right now," and he encourages letting that emotion flow for multiple reasons. It's a testament to how someone or something impacted you, but also it's really important to feel those emotions. So.Lesley Logan 25:16  Yeah, it's hard. I don't know, it's like there's certain... you know, it's really interesting, like there's certain people, places, or things that you grieve in different ways. Our LA studio, I don't ever look back and have tears, like I'm sad with that studio, because it was the right thing to do to make the change, but I do miss having that cute little space.Brad Crowell 25:37  Yeah.Lesley Logan 25:37  You know, I miss it. Yeah, I think back of it fondly, not tears, like, "Oh, I don't have that place anymore," but like, "What a fun two years I had in that space." It was such a... like a treehouse, you know. So, grief doesn't always have to be devastating either, but you have to feel it. We have some great grief podcasts, by the way. Haven't had any recently, but the two that we had were so good: Kim Hamer and another woman... I want to say Kara, but I don't think that's what it was. She's like Coach Something, and they're both on grief. Kim Hamer has a wonderful book on 100 Acts of Love, and her episode about her husband and that grief was so interesting, and what she has done. She was so raw and wonderful and thoughtful. And then there was a woman before her in the episodes, and I'm just talking like as if it's going to come back to me, she actually, unfortunately, watched her husband die, and then she went through all this grief and she was like, "How come this is happening, and why am I not over it?" She literally became a grief coach.Brad Crowell 26:42  Yeah.Lesley Logan 26:42  I want to say it's Kara, but it's not.Brad Crowell 26:44  I have no idea.Lesley Logan 26:46  Anyways, our wonderful producers will figure it out, I'm sure. But you can just go into our catalog; it's definitely in the first 200 episodes. Good luck! Well, here's the thing: if you can find Kim Hamer, it's within two months of Kim Hamer that I remember. So, okay, we're gonna get into our Be It action items, and I can see Brad is going to Google that.Brad Crowell 27:05  Yeah, one was Krista St-Germain.Lesley Logan 27:08  That's the one.Brad Crowell 27:09  And the other was.Lesley Logan 27:12  Kim Hamer. Kim Hamer! So sorry, replace Hamer everywhere I said Scott. There you go.Brad Crowell 27:23  All right, stick around. We'll be right back. We're gonna dig into those Be It action items. Brad Crowell 27:29  All right. Well, welcome back. Let's talk about those Be It action items that we got from Adrian Starks. What bold, executable, intrinsic, or targeted action items can we take away from your combo, Adrian? It's weird to call him Starks. Starks, it sounds like he's like... like.Lesley Logan 27:48  Tony.Brad Crowell 27:49  Yeah, but I was thinking like a football player, like the way that you.Lesley Logan 27:52  I just want to go "Adrian," that's all.Brad Crowell 27:54  Starks redefines the word goal, and I've really loved this, y'all. He's so full of these quippy things that are so applicable, and this one really blew my mind. He said, "I love a goal, but I redefined it with the acronym of Get Out and Live, Get Out and Live." And I was like, "Wow, that's really great." I love that he views goals not as rigid markers but as triggers to move outside of one's comfort zone, scare yourself a little bit, and then break a rut. He suggests regularly asking yourself, what is actually going on here? What am I not happy about? What do I actually want? Specifically focusing on immediate desires rather than five-year plans, he recommends detoxing from social media for several days at a time to avoid the world of comparisons that definitely leads to self-doubt and imposter syndrome.Brad Crowell 28:51  Imposter syndrome, yeah, exactly.Lesley Logan 28:53  Comparison is the thief of joy.Brad Crowell 28:54  Comparison is the thief of joy. What about you?Lesley Logan 28:58  Well, he said your purpose in life is not something you find, it's something that you do, and it's going to change. It's going to evolve with time, and I couldn't agree more. It's so funny. Recently, I posted pictures of myself as a brand new Pilates instructor. I actually wrote a whole series called Outgrowing Yourself, and it's either already come out or it's coming up. No idea. I think it already came out, outgrowing your old version of yourself. And it's so funny, because I don't look back at her going, "Oh my god." I mean, when I said, "Oh my god, I look so young..."Brad Crowell 29:27  You look like a child.Lesley Logan 29:28  I look like a child. I was 25, but I think about what her goals as a new teacher were to where I am right now, and I can say looking back I never have thought, "Oh my god, I'm no longer living my purpose," because my purpose has evolved as a teacher. Because I've evolved in the more that I know, and the people that I teach, and the things that I'm drawn to. There's things that people like, "Don't you want to do this?" and it's like, "No, that's a no, I don't." And even right now people like, "Oh, what about next year?" I'm like, "I think I'm staying home a lot, actually a significant amount of time. I'm staying home." And they're like, "Oh, really?" And it's like, "Yeah, because if you do take the time to get to know yourself, and you do stay aligned with what you want, and you do stay aligned with your purpose, your life has to evolve." And then, because that evolves, and your purpose evolves, I'm like, "My life has to reflect what I'm doing, and then what I'm doing then takes me to my next thing, which means my life has to reflect what I'm doing, and so..."Brad Crowell 30:26  I agree with you on this, but also let's go back to his statement, because I think I remember trying to figure out, like, what am I going to do with my life, or what's my purpose? And we all know that it's important to have purpose in our lives, but I also think a testament to this is the conversations that I've had recently with my parents, who just retired.Lesley Logan 30:51  Yeah.Brad Crowell 30:51  Right. And then the interview that we had with the retirement coach, whose name I'm not recalling, but it was in the last 100 episodes. Lesley Logan 31:01  Definitely. It was definitely, was it this year?Brad Crowell 31:04  But the point is that we think purpose is just going to find us, and we're gonna be like, "Oh my god, that's what I'm here for, that's the thing," right? Instead, what clearly seems actionable is purpose is something that we are out there doing, and whether or not we chose to do it, we're still out there doing it. I mean, I think about my parents with their job, and the thing that was keeping my dad focused on the job was the job. Ultimately, if you step back and look at that, it's not necessarily like whatever... I don't even know what the projects were that he was working on.Lesley Logan 31:45  Ever.Brad Crowell 31:46  Yeah, but the point... I mean, I wasn't intimately involved in the company they work for, so I don't actually understand all the nuance of the things, but he built that purpose over a career of 42 or 43 years, and then now all of a sudden he's thinking about ending it. It doesn't matter how mundane the job is, he's, "Oh, what am I going to do with myself after this? I'm not sure, I don't know," you know. And so that's where we find ourselves unwilling to make a change as well, but then you have... that's like.Lesley Logan 32:16  No, I want to argue with you a little bit, and I'm glad your dad doesn't listen to this podcast. I feel like he did what a lot of people his age did, which is like, "This is my job," and that job became the purpose. Yeah.Brad Crowell 32:31  But that's the point of what Adrian said.Lesley Logan 32:33  But I don't think so, because I think it goes to that saying: if you don't have goals, someone will make their goals your goal, and so I feel like.Brad Crowell 32:43  Your purpose can be inadvertent. Yeah, if you don't take control of what you do, then your purpose will be defined for you, or it can accidentally become your purpose. Yes.Lesley Logan 32:53  And if you don't like it, then you're the person going, "Why is my purpose just to do this project for this many years?" Where I think it's important is this is where self-reflection is so important, because when you self-reflect, you are aware of when you are outgrowing something, or you are being called into something. I don't know if we had a conversation with Adrian, but I definitely had a conversation, and I wrote a newsletter on it, is that a lot of people in the Pilates industry, like, "I need to figure out what my space is in this industry," and it's like, never do that, don't do that. Because no one that you admire ever sat and goes, "What is my little circle in this industry?" No, they went out and carved their path, they created their thing. There'll be an episode coming out that hasn't already with me on Balanced Body's podcast, where they're like, "You carved out this thing." I'm like, I had to, I had to create the thing that I needed. Some of you are already living your purpose, but you actually are looking at other people and going, "I need to look like them," and you haven't taken the time to reflect back, going, "Actually, the thing that I'm doing is the thing that's my purpose, and it's helping these people. And so now that I'm aware of that, I amplify that." Because you're out there amplifying and doing it, it will evolve, because you will continue to hone in and understand and be curious, and change things. So either it inadvertently finds you, and you're doing someone else's purpose, and they'll be grateful, or you discover what it is. But if you look inside.Brad Crowell 34:20  But that's... yeah, it goes... you were both talking about self-reflection, but it goes back to, you know, your purpose in life is not something you find, it's something that you do.Lesley Logan 34:29  Yes.Brad Crowell 34:30  And it is also... it's a change and evolve over time.Lesley Logan 34:33  It's kind of like those movies where the person goes out in seek of what their purpose is, but really their purpose was there all the time, but they weren't taking the time to see that it was there. Go self-reflect anyways. Anything else, Brad?Brad Crowell 34:47  Yeah. He said with purpose you can navigate and make adjustments, right? And he talked about figuring out what actions match the frequency and energy of where you're at right now.Lesley Logan 34:57  Yeah, that's true. That's great.Brad Crowell 34:59  Yeah, I mean, we'll just leave it... we'll just leave that there. Go back and listen, because...Lesley Logan 35:04  Adrian is great.Brad Crowell 35:05  Yeah, he's great.Lesley Logan 35:05  And I, by the way.Brad Crowell 35:06  He does voice acting. How cool.Lesley Logan 35:08  Well, let's listen to his voice.Brad Crowell 35:09  Yeah, it's amazing.Lesley Logan 35:10  Honestly, like, he should really write sleepy stories, like those sleep stories. I would listen every day.Brad Crowell 35:16  Yeah.Lesley Logan 35:17  I also would even listen to him share bad news with that voice, because it's just like, you know, like the BBC type, where it's just matter-of-fact, you know what I mean? Like, I think I could be like, "Okay, well, we're not all gonna die, so there we go." Adrian, thanks for being you. Thanks for being back. You guys, I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell 35:34  And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 35:35  Share our episodes with a friend who needs to figure out what their purpose is, and then leave a review.

The U.S. is celebrating 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, but some Native Americans in the Mount Rushmore state are turning their focus to a different anniversary, as South Dakota Searchlight's Meghan O'Brien reports. Ben Jones is South Dakota's state historian. He also chairs the state's America 250 commission. He wants it to be an inclusive celebration. “There was just a strong desire personally, and I think among all the members of the commission, that we include everybody and everybody who lives in South Dakota to be a part of this.” But as July 4 nears, Trina Lone Hill (Oglala Sioux) is not planning to celebrate. “For me personally, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is like a slap in the face.” Lone Hill is a former historic preservation officer for the Oglala Sioux Tribe. Now, she serves on its tribal council. The founding of the country meant lost land, language, and culture for Indigenous people. So Lone Hill's focus is on the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the week before Independence Day. The conflict on June 25, 1876, was a major victory for the Northern Cheyenne, Arapaho, Lakota, and Dakota people. It happened during the United States' encroachment on their land, after the discovery of gold in the Black Hills. Lakota people know the conflict as the Battle of the Greasy Grass. Representatives of several tribes are working with the National Park Service to commemorate the anniversary at the battlefield in Montana. Lone Hill will be one of more than a dozen speakers at the three-day event. U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) holds a press conference on Monday, June 1, 2026, in Tucson., Ariz. The Indian Health Service (IHS) is preparing to close one of its three locations in Arizona. The agency says this is part of a plan to modernize operations and improve health outcomes. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, state Democrats are raising alarm. More than 28,000 patients depend on the Tucson, Ariz. area office, especially members from the Tohono O'odham Nation and Pascua Yaqui Tribe. It mostly handles administrative work, but is expected to merge with the IHS Phoenix office. That location is already responsible for 180,000 patients in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. “Consolidating one to another, you're going to have a disruption of service. Any cut is going to cause a delay.” State Rep. Brian Garcia (Pascua Yaqui/D-AZ) is concerned. So too is State Sen. Sally Ann Gonzales (Pascua Yaqui/D-AZ), who also chairs the Indigenous Peoples Caucus. “I've never been to that clinic, but I know that some of our members do, and I used to represent Tohono O'odham and it's in their San Javier District, so it's disheartening to learn of its closure.” Arizona state Democrats sent a letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy earlier this month, urging him to halt the looming closure. The agency did not comment on the letter. Mark Cruz testified Wednesday before the U.S. Senate Indian Affairs Committee. The nominee to lead the IHS appeared before a U.S. Senate committee Wednesday. Mark Cruz (Klamath Tribes) answered questions from lawmakers on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee during his confirmation hearing to become the next IHS director. Cruz currently serves as senior advisor for Native Affairs at HHS. He told senators he would focus on strengthening tribal consultation, improving health care access, and addressing workforce shortages across Indian Country if confirmed. His nomination now moves forward in the Senate confirmation process. IHS provides care to about 2.8 million American Indians and Alaska Natives.

After Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson home, the Jewelers' Security Alliance did something that got almost no attention. They issued a crime alert to the entire jewelry trade, offered a reward, and specifically named the Guthrie family's ties to the industry as the reason.Nancy's daughter Annie is a working jeweler in Tucson. She lives near her mother in the Catalina Foothills. She and her husband were the last people to see Nancy alive. And their neighborhood holds a connection to the gem world that goes back decades — one that the JSA clearly thought mattered enough to put money behind.Gem-show crime in this city has already escalated beyond theft. In one documented Pima County case, two dealers were tied up at gunpoint and more than a million dollars was taken — kidnapping charges included. The man allegedly seen at Nancy's door wore Walmart-exclusive gear and showed no professional training. The ransom notes have been widely discredited by investigators.And reportedly, nothing was taken from Nancy's home. This episode follows what the JSA saw, what was in the neighborhood, and whether the crew that allegedly came that night was ever there for Nancy Guthrie at all.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nancy Guthrie's neighbor has held the same role at the largest gem and mineral event on the planet for decades. He lives in the same Catalina Foothills neighborhood. His event was running the week she reportedly vanished from her bed.The Jewelers' Security Alliance connected the abduction to the gem world publicly — citing the Guthrie family's own jewelry industry ties, offering a ten-thousand-dollar reward, and asking attendees from more than twenty countries to come forward. Nancy's daughter Annie is a Tucson-based jeweler who was the last family member to see her alive that night.Gem-show crime in Tucson is documented and escalating. Tucson police deploy extra officers every year. In one Pima County case, armed men tied up two dealers and walked out with more than a million dollars — kidnapping charges followed. The man allegedly captured on Nancy's camera wore gear traced to a single Walmart and showed no sign of professional training.Reportedly, nothing was taken from Nancy's home. This episode connects what the neighbor has been doing for decades, what was happening that week, and why an alleged crew may have walked out of that house empty-handed — then puts every hole in the theory on the table.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Several news outlets are reporting that law enforcement sources say a second ransom note sent to a Tucson television station claimed that 84 Nancy Guthrie was dead. In the note, the kidnappers reportedly said they did not mean to kill her, but that she died soon after being abducted. According to authorities, the FBI and police believe the notes were authentic and from Guthrie’s kidnappers.

The evidence that someone planned Nancy Guthrie's kidnapping months in advance was everywhere online. Google Trends screenshots appearing to show searches for her Tucson address in June and Savannah Guthrie's salary in December. It looked damning. It circulated on every platform. People cited it as proof that whoever took Nancy had been researching her family's wealth for months. Then NewsNation reporter Brian Entin did something nobody else had bothered to do — he called Google. Google's answer: the search data as presented was not accurate. The searches as described didn't happen. The most-shared evidence of premeditation in the Nancy Guthrie case was not real. And it wasn't alone. A separate YouTube video fabricated Nancy's entire professional identity — placing her in Columbus, Ohio, calling her a pharmaceutical compliance officer, and building a 25-minute conspiracy about healthcare fraud retaliation. Nancy has never been a healthcare executive. She's never lived in Ohio. One search would have debunked it. Tony Brueski walks through both fabrications in detail and asks the question the internet never asked: what happens to a real investigation when manufactured evidence floods the system?Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A YouTube video with hundreds of thousands of views claimed Nancy Guthrie was a pharmaceutical compliance officer from Columbus, Ohio, connected to a 32 billion dollar healthcare fraud conspiracy. The video stated it as fact. Professional narration. Graphics. The production quality of legitimate reporting. The problem: Nancy Guthrie was born in Fort Wright, Kentucky. She's lived in Tucson, Arizona for more than fifty years. She's a retired grandmother. She was never a compliance officer. She never lived in Ohio. The entire professional identity was fabricated. The theory that grew from it — that Nancy was a whistleblower silenced by corporate interests — was built on a foundation that doesn't exist. And a separate fabrication made it worse: manipulated Google Trends screenshots claiming someone in Arizona searched for Nancy's address months before the kidnapping. Google itself confirmed through Brian Entin at NewsNation that the data was not accurate. Two manufactured pieces of evidence. Two pillars of the case's online mythology. Both completely made up. Tony Brueski examines how the internet built an evidence factory around a real missing person — and why the content creators behind it are still collecting views.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On today's show we welcome David Corrado of Tucson Hearts of Gold Foundation. David will talk about his history, the history of the foundation and the mission of the foundation. Next, we welcome Amber Eghtesadi, incoming president of Foothills Club of Tucson. We'll talk about the various events that the Foothills Club puts on to benefit children in southern Arizona.

An eighty-four-year-old woman with no known cryptocurrency was allegedly taken from her home in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Tucson. A six-million-dollar Bitcoin ransom was demanded. A two-billion-dollar cybersecurity firm called it a wrench attack by proxy — a classification that raises a question nobody else has asked publicly.What if the attackers had the wrong house? What if someone else in Catalina Foothills — someone with the kind of crypto holdings that draw a six-million-dollar demand — was the intended target? And what if Nancy Guthrie, who answered her door that night, was never supposed to be part of this at all?CertiK used the term proxy target selection. Volunteers in Mexico have turned up twenty-five unmarked graves in the border region. Retired FBI agents have identified the reservation as a plausible route south. DNA evidence is at the FBI lab. The sheriff is facing a recall. And if the wrong-house theory holds, the person the attackers were actually looking for may still be living in that neighborhood. Jennifer Coffindaffer, contributor to Hidden Killers, breaks it all down.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The cartel extraction theory is the most shared theory in the Nancy Guthrie case — and the one with the least support from anyone with actual investigative experience. Former FBI agent Matt Cavanaugh told NBC News he sees no reason a cartel would target Nancy Guthrie. A retired Pima County lieutenant called cartel involvement far-fetched. Multiple local law enforcement sources told NewsNation the case shows no signs of cartel involvement. Retired FBI supervisory special agent Jason Pack explained that the FBI contacting Mexico was standard border protocol, not a lead. The pacemaker timeline the theory rests on was debunked by a doctor who explained Bluetooth disconnection only means the device was separated from a nearby phone — not that Nancy was transported anywhere. The private jet — a nineteen-year-old Cessna on a routine Puerto Vallarta route — was investigated and cleared. And the suspect's behavior on the doorbell camera was so unsophisticated the FBI said publicly that he did things a professional would not do. Tony Brueski walks through every data point that fueled the cartel theory and shows why not one of them survives contact with verified evidence. This is the first episode in a five-part series debunking the most extreme Nancy Guthrie theories using on-the-record sourcing.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A cybersecurity firm worth two billion dollars classified Nancy Guthrie's alleged abduction as a wrench attack by proxy. Their language, not ours. A wrench attack is a crypto-targeted crime. Nancy Guthrie is eighty-four years old with no known cryptocurrency holdings.That disconnect is the center of this conversation. If CertiK's classification is accurate, the person who was taken may not have been the intended target. Catalina Foothills is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Tucson. Someone in that ZIP code may hold the kind of crypto that draws a six-million-dollar ransom demand. And if whoever showed up at Nancy's address was looking for that person, they found an eighty-four-year-old woman instead — and had a problem they couldn't walk away from.Meanwhile, volunteers have searched the border region three separate times after anonymous tips. Twenty-five unmarked graves found. None connected to Nancy. The Tohono O'odham reservation offers seventy-two miles of minimally monitored border. DNA sits at Quantico. The sheriff faces a recall. And the question nobody else is asking out loud: if Nancy wasn't the target, the real one may still be living nearby.Jennifer Coffindaffer, contributor to Hidden Killers, breaks it down.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

At the top left and right corners of the print, the years “1776” and “2026” mark the 250-year anniversary of the United States. Beneath each year is a line of raised braille dots, adding a tactile reading element that complements the18th century fonts. Centered in the middle of the print, the famous and powerful phrase from the Declaration of Independence is stacked in dramatic vintage-style lettering “WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF EVIDENT THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.” Each section of text is paired with tactile braille underneath, allowing the message to be experienced both visually and through touch. The combination of distressed colonial inspired lettering and raised puff ink creates a striking and authentic dimensional effect. Below the main statement is a horizontal divider with a centered star, followed by the words: “UNITED STATES Of AMERICA.” Again, accompanied by tactile braille beneath the 18th century authentic wording the entire print is designed in clean white puff ink for a bold raised texture that stands out. The tactile surface gives the artwork depth, accessibility, and a handcrafted feel while maintaining a strong patriotic presentation.

The combined FBI and family reward for information leading to the resolution of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance exceeds one million dollars. An anonymous man who claims to know where she is buried chose not to collect it. He called Buscando Corazones Nogales — a volunteer search collective operating in Sonora, Mexico — and directed them to coordinates in the Mariposa arroyos near the Arizona border, approximately seventy miles from Guthrie's Tucson residence. He described her clothing. He described the terrain. He said dig.Volunteers searched twice based on his directions. Both searches produced no evidence connected to Guthrie. After the first failure, the caller contacted the group again with revised coordinates. A third search was subsequently scheduled. At no point did the caller contact the FBI, the Pima County Sheriff's Department, or any U.S. law enforcement agency. The Pima County Sheriff's Department confirmed it had not been contacted by Mexican authorities regarding the searches.Robin Dreeke, retired chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, examines the behavioral significance of how this tip was routed. The ransom notes that surfaced earlier in the investigation were sent to media outlets rather than law enforcement. This tip was sent to a volunteer group rather than the agencies offering the reward. Dreeke identifies the behavioral thread connecting both decisions and explains what the caller's willingness to provide revised coordinates after an initial failure reveals about the nature of the information — and the person behind it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He called once. Gave coordinates. Described clothing. Fifteen volunteers searched the Mariposa arroyos near the Arizona-Mexico border and found nothing. Then he called back. New directions. A second search. Still nothing. A third search was scheduled. And through all of it, this anonymous man never contacted the FBI, never contacted Pima County, and never reached for the million-dollar-plus reward that has been sitting unclaimed since Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Tucson home.The persistence is either the behavior of someone who genuinely knows where she is and miscalculated the exact location — or it's the behavior of someone adjusting a fabricated story in real time after each miss. Robin Dreeke has spent a career distinguishing between those two patterns. He ran the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and what he sees in this caller's behavior connects to every unverifiable claim this case has generated — from the ransom notes sent to media outlets to this tip sent to a volunteer collective in cartel territory.The routing alone tells a story. The ransom notes bypassed law enforcement and went to newsrooms. This tip bypassed law enforcement and went to a nonprofit search group in Sonora. Dreeke explains what that pattern means behaviorally — and why the caller's willingness to provide increasingly specific details after failed searches doesn't necessarily make the tip more credible. It may make it less. The Pima County Sheriff's Department says it hasn't been contacted by Mexican authorities. No U.S. law enforcement participated in the searches.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before anyone picked up a shovel, the caller had already crossed a line that separates a vague tip from something investigators take seriously: he described what Nancy Guthrie was wearing. Not a guess. Specific clothing. He described landmarks in the Mariposa arroyos west of Nogales, Mexico — a stretch of desert seventy miles from her Tucson home. He gave a location precise enough for fifteen volunteers to walk to a spot and start digging. And then he provided something else: details about the terrain that only someone familiar with that ground would know.Retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke breaks down what level of detail actually means in a tip like this — and why more specificity doesn't always equal more credibility. The caller described clothing, but investigators have never publicly released what Nancy was wearing when she disappeared. That means the caller either has genuine knowledge, or he built a detail specific enough to sound credible without being verifiable. Dreeke explains how the FBI stress-tests exactly that distinction.Then the behavior after the first failure. The volunteers searched and found nothing. The caller reached back out with revised directions. In Dreeke's world, that's the fork: a person correcting honest coordinates they miscalculated looks one way. A person adjusting a fabricated story after it didn't land looks another. The caller did this while walking past over a million dollars in reward money and routing the tip to a volunteer group instead of law enforcement — the same bypass pattern the ransom notes followed when they went to newsrooms instead of the FBI.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On June 9th, the Pima County Sheriff's Department officially reclassified the Nancy Guthrie case from a missing persons investigation to a homicide. The FBI did not push back. And yet, in comment sections across the internet, one of the most popular theories about Nancy's disappearance is that she's alive and in FBI protective custody — that the whole thing was staged as part of an intelligence extraction.That theory is one of four that Tony Brueski takes apart in this episode, using nothing but documented, sourced, on-the-record facts.The protective custody theory collapses under its own weight: it requires the FBI to have staged Nancy's blood on her porch, disconnected her pacemaker, released suspect footage, doubled its reward, processed over thirteen thousand tips through a twenty-four-hour command post, and then allowed local law enforcement to publicly reclassify the case as a homicide. A healthcare fraud conspiracy was built on a viral video that fabricated Nancy's identity entirely — calling her a pharmaceutical compliance officer from Columbus, Ohio, when she's a retired grandmother from Tucson. The family involvement theory relies on internet “gait analysis” from compressed nighttime doorbell footage — not the FBI's Operational Technology Division, which actually performed the forensic review.And the staged disappearance theory? It asks you to believe an 84-year-old woman with a pacemaker and limited mobility secretly hired a masked, armed stranger and abandoned all her medication.The evidence in this case points to something far simpler than any conspiracy — and far more urgent. The person who did this is still out there. The investigation is active. The reward stands at over one million dollars.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The person who took Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson home has not been identified. And right now, the internet is making that job harder. Every viral theory that circulates — every fabricated lead, every comment-section accusation, every “gait analysis” from a grainy nighttime doorbell clip — generates tips that investigators are obligated to process. Tens of thousands of them. That's tens of thousands of hours spent on noise while the actual forensic trail — the DNA, the backpack sales records, the cell tower data — grinds forward with finite resources.In this episode, Tony Brueski examines the four biggest theories circulating in the case and measures each one against the facts. A viral video that fabricated Nancy's professional identity and home city. A protective custody conspiracy that collapses the moment you consider the homicide reclassification. A family accusation built on internet gait analysis that wouldn't be admissible in any courtroom in the country. And a staged disappearance theory that requires an 84-year-old woman with a pacemaker and limited mobility to have hired an armed stranger and abandoned her medication.The FBI's Operational Technology Division performed the actual forensic analysis of the doorbell footage. The suspect is described as a male, five-foot-nine to five-foot-ten, average build, wearing a black Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack — a Walmart-exclusive brand that investigators have been tracing through sales records. The person on the porch discovered the camera on scene and covered it with weeds from the yard. That's reactive, improvised behavior — not a coordinated operation.The evidence points to a crime committed by someone unprepared. The theories point everywhere else. This episode follows the evidence.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In February, sources indicated the FBI was in contact with Mexican law enforcement regarding the Guthrie investigation. Sonora's attorney general publicly stated no formal request had been received. Four months later, an anonymous tip directed a cross-border search for Nancy's remains near Nogales — and the Pima County Sheriff's Department says it learned about the operation from media reports.The tip was not routed through the FBI's legal attaché office in Mexico City, the suboffice in Hermosillo, or the Pima County tip line. It was directed to Buscando Corazones Nogales, a volunteer collective that conducts searches for Mexico's own missing. The group searched and found nothing connected to Nancy. The Mariposa corridor where they searched had previously yielded more than 25 unmarked graves with at least 32 sets of remains.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines the procedural failures in cross-border communication, the legal framework for joint U.S.-Mexico investigative operations, and what the routing of the anonymous tip suggests about its origin and intent.Tucson is approximately sixty miles from the Nogales crossing. No public statement has addressed whether investigators have ruled out the possibility that Nancy was moved across the border.Footer Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This episode is all about the capacity of your practice — what's on your mind for growth, as well as components in your practice that might surprise you in boosting your production. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Tiff (00:01) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. We are so excited to be here with you today. Like we say every single time, we truly, truly do love podcasting and we love what we do. I think getting into it, ⁓ Dana and I, we just spent some time figuring out what this podcast was going to mean and how we were gonna take it. So sometimes it can be like a little daunting, I feel like. But once we get started, ⁓ I think it just flows and and we love it. So, Dana, thank you for workshopping this title and this   project with us today and how are you doing? It's like full blown summer in Arizona. ⁓ it's hot and it's beautiful. And I know we chatted last week and I said are sports done and I was like, yeah, that's right. Sports are never done. So Dana, how are you? How's life down there in the Tucson area?   DAT-Dana (00:48) It's doing really good. Like you said, summer's in full swing, so sunshine's out, kids are, yep, back at sports. ⁓ I just feel like I don't know. I am a su I always say I'm like a lizard. I like to soak up the Arizona sunshine, but I do feel like as the older I get, sometimes these summers get a little bit more brutal every year.   Tiff (01:07) I   agree. I keep saying, is it actually is it getting hotter? Is it getting harder? Or am I getting older and less tolerant? Because I'm the same. I'm a lizard. My ⁓ my family calls me the the lizard because I we even went to the pool yesterday and I was like, no, I don't wanna actually be in the water. Like I just want to be in the sun, feeling it on my body. It makes me feel good. But I'm the same way that I'm like I'm just I'm getting so much less tolerant. I really do think that Yeah. Yeah. I know.   DAT-Dana (01:25) And so.   Yeah. Yeah. fun fine.   Tiff (01:36) I know. Well,   today's content I think ⁓ I'm excited about. Like I said, we workshopped it and I think we came up with some really solid solid pieces here because I think this is something, especially at this time of year, actually, that a lot of doctors and practice owners, one, you get that like itch mid year that you're like, Am I doing enough? Do I need to do something else? And then we see a lot of doctors kind of like sideswipe their team and really just undercut and be like, We're adding something different or we're changing everything up or   Whatever. ⁓ and also at this time of the year, I know for us, at least with our clients, it's a time of year that we really start thinking about next year. I know that seems kind of wild, but that like June, July, August, September timeframe, we're really starting to project, okay, what's left of this year, how are we going to make those goals and exceed those goals? And then what is that gonna roll into for the following year? So this kind of subject that we have today, this this chat, I think falls right into that. And what we want to chat through is capacity.   I love that word. I love the word capacity because it can mean so many different things. I think there's like capacity of our mind. And I talk with with practices in Dana, I know you do too of capacity for team members a lot. Like what is their capacity and not just their time capacity and what they're able to do, but also like their brains, right? How much, how much pivoting can they do in one day? How much how much different subjects can they take on in one day? And what's that capacity? But really today I want to chat capacity of your   Practice and your numbers. And Dana, you spoke really eloquently about this a second ago. And I want to I want to bring that back around to the capacity of the practice because I think first and foremost, when a practice owner thinks about growth, they think, okay, I need more operatories. I need a second practice. And I need, I need, I need. And it's like, yeah, we sometimes we do have to invest to recoup.   benefits, right? So we do have to invest and we have to we have to grow the physical space. ⁓ and I and I think for so long in dentistry it was like how many practices do you have like the first question people asked and how big is your practice? What's your revenue? How many patients do you have? And those questions still swim around and it can make a practice owner feel like they're reaching and grasping for something that they're not even really sure that they want yet. And I know Dana you've seen that too and something that I love watching   our team work with their practices in is really growing within the capacity of the the physical capacity that they have within their practice without having to make that initial investment. But also Dana, I've watched you like grow into that. So projecting and saying, cool, then at this point or in one year, in two years, in three years, this is the capacity, the physical capacity that we want to get to. So I want to really dispel the fact that capacity means we have to   actually grow the physical space because I think Dana there's so much to be grown within the space that we have. And I want to talk through those pieces so that a lot of our listeners here today might pick up something that they're like, gosh, I never thought about that or ⁓ I forgot to do that. There's a lot of those, I forgot to do that piece. So when a doctor comes to you, Dana, and they're like, Dana, I need to grow but I have no more hours. I have   I'm tapped, I don't know what to do. What are some of the first places as a dental consultant that you look at with those practices?   DAT-Dana (05:03) Yeah, I think a couple things. I think that I look at like how comprehensive are we treating the patients within your practice? So are there things that we're letting walk out the door that we are skilled and know how to do that we can keep within the practice, which helps us, I think, just more comprehensively treat patients, which naturally will grow production.   ⁓ I love that you said yes, we're at maximum hours, but I do think that's always a place to look before you look at more space, before you look at expanding. Can you just add hours somewhere? and oftentimes those early morning, those evening hours, patients really, really like too. So we feel like those can stay full. I also will look at insurance participation. Can we change insurance participation and again be able to maybe even lessen our capacity but keep growing our practice with patients?   who align a little bit more with what we're looking for as far as like patient avatar ideal patient.   Tiff (06:00) Yeah, I love that I have a lot of practices that are doing that right now in this like June, July, August timeframe. So that in September, October, we can start at least sending those letters that say, Hey, will you increase our fee schedules? Because there are so many that are out of line. And I think that's a huge discussion ⁓ that's been going around really for the last like two to three years. But I think very, very soon it's not even gonna be a discussion anymore. It's just gonna be a thing of the past. So we are approaching that, I think.   You're totally spot on the fee schedules, fee schedule analysis too for your practice. And I think, Dana, understanding I have a practice I understand that you can do this at any point. You can analyze your fees, you can request fee schedule increases. It doesn't depend on your contract with the insurance company. Just request those fee schedule increases because the worst that they can do is say no. And then you evaluate your contract obligations with them and what you want to do for your practice. We get so scared of like, well,   When can we? It's like they're they don't actually tell you. You just do it. You just do it and then they tell you yes or no. I have a practice that actually increases their fees ⁓ during the summer. And so a lot of practices will wait and they're like, it needs to be January because that's like a fresh start. And I think for me, Dana, it makes me think of like I'll start my diet on Monday. ⁓ no, it's fine, I'll just I'll do it on Monday. And then we get to like December, January, and they're like, Well, wait, we didn't tell the patients yet. And then they hold back, they hold back, and then it's a whole nother year again.   before we do fee schedule increases. And it just doesn't have to be that dramatic. And that can significantly increase the dollar amounts coming in, which is ultimately our end goal, right? And I think it's like in dentistry it's hard because we're healthcare professionals. So focusing in on those dollars and being like, gosh, you know, charging $1200 for an implant   seems crazy because we came from a spot where we were charging six forty two not that long ago, right? It feels like not that long ago in dentistry dentistry is so progressive and it changes so constantly. We have to stay up on on our fees and we have to stay up on the times where dental insurance doesn't do that. It can hold us back from making sure that we're increasing those fees to where they should be and that we're you guys are making the   the dollar amounts, the overhead structure that you want to and that you should. So making sure that you're looking at those is massive. And then Dana, you also said that the patient avatar, and I have I have some the clients that have, gosh, like thousands upon thousands upon thousands of patients and evaluating the actual patient base. So active patient base is, you know, whomever's been seen within the last 18 months. And then looking at are those patients even our ideal   avatar. I've had clients that have had to basically dismiss patients because their patient base was too clean. So it was like we either we either keep clean patients and don't have dentistry to do or we reevaluate our patient base and start restructuring for the structure that we actually want to do. And that for you, Dana, I think was kind of twofold because you said the patient avatar and then you also said the dentistry like that we want to do and that things that we can keep   in the practice. So what have you seen with your your clients when they do that patient avatar and they're like, gosh, actually this is the ideal patient. This is my patient demographic, because it can't we can't live in the middle of I don't know, retirement community and be like, we're gonna do Botox, the whole like we're gonna do all the Botox, right? We've got to make sure that we're dealing with the patients that we also have. So what do you see as far as capacity and being able to grow financially?   within those constraints.   DAT-Dana (09:42) Yeah.   I think that it it like you said, it like the creating your ideal patient allows you to kind of see, like, are you serving the people in the community that you want to be serving? And are you doing the type of dentistry that one they need and two that also you like to be doing? And sometimes those things can be, you know, you have to figure out how they work within the community that you have if it's the dentistry that you love. But I think taking a look at your patient avatar allows you to see, like, are we currently serving the patients who like really   align with what we're looking for in our practice. And when you don't, right, then you can start to say, hey, okay, let's put some systems in place. Just try to get our patient base a little bit more aligned with what we like to do as far as the type of dentistry. And to just like the patients that we feel like we best serve and we can best impact. And I think when you start to do these things, I always say, yeah, we've we get to a point in our patient base where patients get healthy. And it might not be all of our patient base, but certainly some of our patient base. That's the goal of recares, right?   We have recare patients, we bring them back, they continue to occasionally have things pop up, but for the most part, we've gotten them steady and stable. And then I think then it's the next layer. Okay, they're steady and stable, but do they love their smile? And if they don't love their smile, what do you have in your toolbox, right? That can help do that next layer. I think sometimes we get into like, hey, you know, I am getting a lot of new patients, but they're just healthy patients, right? They've been seen every six months. That doesn't mean there's nothing we can do for them. And sometimes creating your patient avatar and   Tiff (10:55) Yeah.   DAT-Dana (11:12) looking at your services helps expand like your way of thinking and the things that you can do for them to continue honestly and truly to continue doing dentistry on either your patient base or we've got to make a switch, right? And we've got to start to transition some of our patient base so that it is more ideal.   Tiff (11:24) Yeah.   Yeah, I love that. So something to consider as we were talking, I was thinking about like metrics and the metrics that we like to utilize within our ⁓ consulting to really help be able to account for capacity, right? Actual physical space capacity and patient patient-based capacity. And something we love to do is to consider the number of patients per hygiene day.   Now this can get a little confusing because you think just day of the week, right? There's seven days of the week. There's typically five days that are worthy of being open. ⁓ sometimes six if you're Saturday, and most of you are probably four days a week. Well, within those four days, you could have exponential amounts of hygiene days. So if Monday you've got three hygienists, that's three hygiene days. So per hygiene day per week, we really want to see 200 hygiene.   Active patients per hygiene day. So if on Monday you've got three hygienists working the full day, that's 600 active patients per that day. So you multiply that by every day of the week, and that tells you how many recare patients we tip we like easy numbers. You guys, 200 is an easy number. We love that. So we typically are going to use some formula to that capacity that will tell us how many active patients per hygiene day you should have.   And if you reverse engineer that, Dana, I love this because it tells us the capacity of our hygiene department, meaning, do we need more hygienists? Because doctors are always like, Do I should I want to hire? It's hard to hire. I've got a hygienist on the books, or I think I have I need more hygiene hours. I'm booked out this far. And honestly and truly, I feel like when we wait for that space where we're like, gosh, I'm at capacity, I can't fit any more patients, I'm booked out too far. That's when we're scrambling and trying to fix the space issue. And we get into this like frenzy.   Whereas if we're watching our our hygiene numbers, we're watching our active patient count and our new patients plus attrition, we can see what our capacity is going to be and we can better project when do I need to hire another hygienist and do I have the space for that? So if you if you work those numbers, you can start to see, okay, I have enough patients in my patient base right now to supply X amount of hygienists with X amount of working days. Now, given my   new patient count coming in and my attrition meaning how many am I losing on the back end, which should be very, very, very small. You guys, it should be patients moving or losing patients. I'm not gonna say why. you guys can understand. I don't like saying that. They just they're gone. So they didn't leave us for another dental practice. They moved away somewhere. ⁓ So that's your attrition. But taking those into consideration you can start to do the math and see okay with this new patient inflow,   I'm getting a positive net of new patients of X per month. This is how long it's gonna be that I'm gonna need another hygienist. So then Dana, I would say like probably two months ahead of that ish, maybe three, start looking for a hygienist. It's starting to get like finding an associate dentist anymore. So two to three months ahead of when you might need them, I would really start projecting and looking at.   hiring them. Now capacity-wise, Dana, that slides into, okay, this doctor that's listening now is like, cool, well, my I don't have an operatory. Okay, great. Well, now we look at some other options. And Dana, when there's ⁓ an option and not an option of another operatory, what do you like to look at for when you do ⁓ add in those hygienists for capacity wise?   DAT-Dana (15:04) Yeah. I think it is. It comes to are there days that we can add? Are there hours that we can add anywhere to be able to serve the patients? And again, I mean, yes, we're getting new patients in this scenario, but sometimes it's just to serve the patients who've been with the practice, right? Or just our recare patients. So how can we manipulate hours? How can we manipulate days? Is there any room anywhere ⁓ to be able to   see more patients within the allotted space. And you know, I will say I've got a practice in on the East Coast and it's just a three operatory practice, right? So we're constantly, constantly trying to game plan this capacity thing because there is no room for expansion. There is no and like they love the location. They and so we do you have to get a little bit creative. And sometimes it means like we do have a part-time hygienist that comes in on Saturdays. We do have a part-time hygienist that comes in on Fridays. We do we've expanded hours, we've done some kind   Tiff (15:38) yeah.   DAT-Dana (15:58) of   like split shift. And ⁓ again, I know sometimes offices hesitate with that, but like honestly and truly just ask your team, right? Your team will tell you like what they're willing and what they're not willing to do. And sometimes you'll be surprised how even manipulating shifts actually helps team members in their personal lives, right? We have those moms that maybe want to drop their kids off at school in the morning. So not starting until 10 is great for them. Right. And so until we have these conversations with team and we look at all these avenues and all the doors that we could open   the levers that we could pull to really be able to continue to grow even if we are at max capacity. I think that there are a number of things to look at before having to find a new building or add a second location or ⁓ those types of things. And so it can be a mix of changing hours, it can be a mix of adding providers, it can be a mix of adding days, all the things before it has to go to that point.   Tiff (16:41) Mm.   Yeah. That was a great ⁓ that was a great visual. The office, the three pr the three op practice. I definitely have I have one that's a four op and three hygienists. ⁓ so I I totally agree. And I love also in your mix there, you're talking about like adding hours and working. I they added hours there they're expanding by hours, but also something that I love doing is that smart scheduling.   Right. Block scheduling is wonderful. I know other people who love it. There are people who hate it. There are people who don't understand it. But block scheduling can truly, truly make it so that you can see your capacity so you can better schedule for one, but then also better prep and better like move forward. Something that I love doing is really looking at when you've got a smaller operator when you have 11 and you're like, I need the twelfth. You're like, cool, that's fine too. Take a day, look at your schedule and say, Okay, maybe on Wednesdays.   My doctor's gonna do like heavy, heavier appointments on doctor side. So we've got, you know, high production, high value production all day. Maybe there's some assistant driven stuff so they can still do some exams, but then I've got a hygienist that's running just SRPs. So like Wednesday is she's in doctor's operatory. So doc loses an operatory, doc is doing heavy in one column, doc loses an operatory, and I've got heavy SRPs. So we're not losing the production.   We're gaining the production and able to do the recares on the other days so that we can project out or Fridays. I have a lot of hygienists that will do that'll love to come in on a half day on Friday for like four hours and just bust out SRPs because back-to-back SRPs is hard, but it's when you've got a half a day of it, it's kind of like quick, easy production, get it done, and it makes it more valuable coming in for on a Friday. Yeah. And   Outside of that, so not even outside of that, I would say all of this combined. If your fee schedules are in alignment, if you know your capacity of your patient base, meaning how many patients do you have, how many hygienists do you need for that, how many doctors do you need for that, the capacity of your time, right? How how long are you working and are you being super effective and efficient within those hours? I've seen a lot of doctors as well. This is something we haven't mentioned yet. I did mention like block scheduling and eff efficient scheduling and hygiene.   But I've also seen a lot of doctors that are like willy-nilly doing a couple fillings here and there or the the front office ⁓ scheduling team is really just scheduling them to fill the schedule so there's no white space. I but it's not effective scheduling. And so we're really not producing what we should be, but we're also not using our chair time effectively. So when we have those smaller appointments, we're turning that room over so much. And if you think about it, Dana, I'm like, gosh, there's ten minutes at the beginning minimum.   DAT-Dana (19:23) I see.   Tiff (19:47) 10 minutes at the end minimum that an assistant is turning over that room. And so we're losing 20 minutes every appointment that's non-productive time. And within that, if we've got filling, filling, filling, filling, filling, and docs having to get up to go do exams, our our filling appointment, our filling appointment is longer because he, she has to get up and go do exams. Plus, we're losing that turnover time every single time. So if we can   utilize something like blocked scheduling or smart scheduling, however you want to do it, to not back to back to back the little appointments. They're gonna happen. I'm not saying overdiagnose and over-treat to not have little appointments. I'm saying let's butt those up against longer appointments so we're not losing that time. Is that something that you often see Dana within that with your with your client base of really restructuring the schedule to get the capacity up.   DAT-Dana (20:40) Yeah, I do. And and I usually will tackle it from like that's when we actually feel the capacity restraint, right? That's when it's like, my gosh, we're so burnt out and we're so and sometimes it is like, hey, can we schedule a little bit better so that like yes, we can value our time, we can make our time more efficient. And I always joke around with practices and say, can I get you to goal with 31 surface fillings? Yes, but can I get you there with three crowns? And doesn't that feel different?   Tiff (20:46) Mm.   DAT-Dana (21:06) Right. So I also think it's like how much we feel our capacity, right? Because that is so many more check-ins and checkouts and insurance verifications and like the workload just like duplicates and replicates for everybody on the team. And just like you said, then doctor having to get up and and you know, all that room turnover that happens with   Tiff (21:06) Yeah.   Yeah.   DAT-Dana (21:25) The clinical team. So I do feel like when you schedule strategically too, it helps you not feel the capacity restraints as well as allows you to be super efficient with your time and making sure that we're using like every 10 minutes we have within the day to be able to take care of patients.   Tiff (21:43) Yeah, I totally agree. I have a practice that just last week, ⁓ one of the doctors was like, I'm over this. I'm done. I'm I'm burnt out. And like we're over here trying to like untangle ⁓ financial stuff and and we're trying to untangle front office overload work overload and get things ⁓ efficient in both those areas and understood and do all of these like willy nilly appointments and anyways, yes. It it was like that was the breaking point was the   capacity and feeling like something's gotta give. Well, it's probably within your scheduling. I completely agree. And I feel that way too. If I if I overload my personal schedule or my work schedule and I've got too much going on and they're like, gosh, like these little tiny errands or calls, if I do my 30 minute coaching calls back to back for an entire day, I am exhausted at the end of the day compared to if I can get a couple of big chunked hour coaching calls in between those 30 minutes, I'm much more productive.   And I feel so much better at the end of the day. And it makes me think how lucky I am that I have been in dentistry for as long as I have been. And then I'm able to look at a schedule and really, really create a productive schedule for myself. So I love it, Dana. I I think action item-wise, ⁓ whether you're feeling capacity or not, I would constantly evaluate this area because the worst thing in my mind that I do for myself is wait until I'm burnt out to look at my capacity.   To wait until I'm burnt out to say something's got to give on my schedule. I really like looking at my schedule ahead and being like, that's gonna suck. Let me restructure, let me figure something out. Or like we do it too with our calls. You know, how many calls do we have? What does that look like? How can we get that done within the capacity of our timing? So I would say don't wait until it hurts to fix it. Make sure that you've got it ahead of time so that you cut the capacity doesn't burn you out. So   Evaluating the number of active patients you have, evaluating what you will have given your new patient influx and your attrition. Also, I really, really strongly advise ⁓ reactivation campaigns so that you're grasping a lot of the people who maybe attritioned out before. Your hygiene team, I think, will love you for that. Dana can Dana can do a whole podcast on not forgetting about our recare patients and the patients we already have. That is one hygiene 101. So make sure you're doing your patients right.   so evaluating your patient base, making sure you know what you have, what you're going to need, and evaluating your schedule. So before you even add hours, before you add days, look at are you being the most efficient and effective with the time that you have? Don't take more time away. ⁓ be super effective and efficient with the time that you have and be ⁓ collecting the fees. One, be collecting the fees you're already charging. So look at your AR. Two, charge.   what you deserve and collect the fees that you should be and then look at opening hours, opening days, and then look at opening more space in your practice is how I would recommend looking at that before jumping straight into more, more, more, bigger, bigger, better. And I think Dana, we are getting to the point of life where we're understanding bigger isn't always better. I love it. Awesome.   DAT-Dana (25:03) Yep, agreed.   Tiff (25:05) Hey Dana, thank you so much for this podcast today. This was fun. I'm glad we workshopped it ahead of time.

Tucson is sixty miles from the Nogales border crossing. If the person who took Nancy Guthrie had even basic knowledge of the border corridor, the window to move her across was measured in hours, not days. And four months later, investigators have not publicly stated whether they've ruled that possibility out.An anonymous caller recently directed a volunteer group in Nogales, Mexico, to an area near the Mariposa corridor where they claimed Nancy's remains were buried. The group found nothing connected to her. The Pima County Sheriff's Department says it learned about the search from media reports.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines whether the proximity to the border has been adequately addressed in this investigation, what the anonymous tip's routing — to a volunteer group, not law enforcement — reveals about who may have sent it, and whether the FBI has the cross-border cooperation it needs to verify or eliminate the possibility that Nancy was taken out of the country.The search area itself tells a story: more than 25 unmarked graves containing at least 32 sets of remains were found in that same corridor during April and May searches. The ground Nancy's name was attached to is already a mass crime scene.Footer Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On January 17, 2026, eighty-three-year-old Gail Crane was reported missing from her home in May's Lick, Kentucky. Investigators determined her former caretaker, Rita Lang, who had been let go the day prior, was a person of interest. Crane was located a hundred miles away inside Lang's vehicle with unexplained injuries. Lang was charged with kidnapping.Sixteen days later, eighty-four-year-old Nancy Guthrie was reportedly abducted from her home in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson, Arizona.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke examine the structural parallels between the two cases and whether the caregiver-orbit theory applies to the Guthrie investigation. Nancy lived alone with a predictable routine and a rotating set of individuals with access to her property and schedule. Investigators have publicly stated her family has been cleared.The central evidentiary challenge to this theory is the doorbell camera footage. The individual on Nancy's porch reportedly did not know the camera was present — a reaction inconsistent with someone who had regular access to the property. Robin provides the FBI behavioral framework for evaluating whether this detail eliminates the insider theory or whether a secondary scenario — an individual inside the orbit directing a third party — remains viable.The discussion also addresses investigative methodology: how the orbit list is constructed, what “cleared” means procedurally in an active investigation, and how far publicly available information could take a stranger.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He knew the arroyos. He described clothing. He identified a specific location near a stream in the desert west of Nogales, Sonora — roughly seventy miles south of Nancy Guthrie's Tucson home. And he bypassed over a million dollars in combined FBI and family reward money to deliver that information to a volunteer collective that searches for the missing in cartel territory.The anonymous caller reached Buscando Corazones Nogales on Mother's Day. Fifteen volunteers went to the coordinates on May 16th. They found nothing. The caller reached back out with revised directions — a different spot in the same region. They searched again June 10th. Still nothing.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke examine the behavioral significance of how this tip was routed. The ransom notes that surfaced early in the investigation went to media outlets. This tip went to a nonprofit. In both cases, the person delivering the information chose a channel where they would never have to identify themselves, answer follow-up questions, or face verification. Robin identifies what that pattern reveals about the kind of person who surfaces in a case like this — and what the difference looks like between someone correcting genuine recall and someone adjusting a story after it fails.The caller pointed a search group at a location where search activity was already happening — Buscando Corazones had already pulled thirty-two people from that same ground between April and May. The Pima County Sheriff's Department says it has not been contacted by Mexican authorities. The FBI has said nothing.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nancy Guthrie was eighty-four, lived alone in the Catalina Foothills, and kept a routine that put a rotating cast of people inside her world on a predictable schedule. Caregivers. Service workers. Contractors. Delivery drivers. The pool route. The landscaper. People who could stand in front of that house without anyone looking twice.Investigators have publicly cleared her family. But the family is not the orbit — and the orbit is where this theory lives.Sixteen days before Nancy vanished, eighty-three-year-old Gail Crane was taken from her Kentucky home by a caregiver who'd been let go the day before. Crane was found a hundred miles away, injured, inside the caregiver's vehicle. The caregiver was charged with kidnapping. The parallel is documented. Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke test whether it maps to Tucson.The strongest piece of evidence fighting this theory is on Nancy's porch. The man in the doorbell footage clearly didn't know the camera was there — it stopped him cold. Anyone who regularly entered her life would have seen it. Robin examines whether the theory can survive that detail, how investigators actually build and cut down the orbit list in the first forty-eight hours, and the version where the face on camera was never inside her life — but the person who sent him was.What does “cleared” actually require in a case this public? Robin explains what has to check out before that word gets attached to anyone.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the final part of Nancy Guthrie's case, we pick up with the update that changed everything: law enforcement had recovered previously inaccessible doorbell camera footage showing a masked, armed man outside Nancy's Tucson home in the early morning hours after she was last seen. From there, the case only gets more complicated. In this episode, I walk through the video, the suspect description, the DNA reportedly found at Nancy's home, the people questioned and later released or cleared, the public focus on Nancy's family, the Mexico angle, and the intense media ecosystem that has formed around this case. And just as this episode was being posted, a new report surfaced involving an anonymous tip and a renewed search effort in Mexico another reminder that Nancy's case is still active, still developing, and still desperately in need of answers. Nancy Guthrie is still missing. Please continue sharing the official FBI flyer and submit any information directly to law enforcement. 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in Tucson, Arizona on January 31st, 2026. She is white, 5'4” tall about 150lbs with brown hair and blue eyes.  The FBI is also asking for help identifying the suspect seen in the recovered doorbell camera footage. He is described as a male, approximately 5'9” to 5'10” with an average build. In the video, he is wearing dark clothing, gloves, a mask, and a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack. There is a reward of up to $1.2 Million in this case. Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-225-5324.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department is responding to a number of recent headlines surrounding the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Police say they are aware of a tip that led a Mexican group to search for a grave, but have not been contacted by authorities regarding any development. They also acknowledged they arrested three you tubers for disturbances outside Guthrie’s home. And finally, a kidnapper at large in the Tucson area, just 15 minutes from Guthrie’s house, has nothing to do with the missing 84-year-old mother and grandmother.

Nancy Guthrie Case: New Tip Points Search Toward Mexico Four months after Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson-area home, a new tip has pushed the search across the border into Mexico. But this is important: right now, it is only a tip. But this is important: right now, it is only a tip.No remains have been confirmed. No grave has been confirmed as Nancy's. And investigators have not announced any arrest. What we have is a possible lead — and in a case this cold, even a thin lead can matter. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A BOLO for a 40-year-old woman wanted for kidnapping near Tucson became the biggest Nancy Guthrie headline in weeks — even though authorities have said plainly that the two cases aren't connected. That gap between the facts and the reaction is the story worth telling.Coral Michelle Smith is wanted for kidnapping and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a May 29th incident at the intersection of River Road and La Cholla Boulevard, approximately 6.8 miles from Nancy Guthrie's Catalina Foothills home. She's 5'6”, 136 pounds, with a criminal record stretching back fifteen years. The Guthrie porch suspect is 5'9” to 5'10” with an apparent wrist tattoo that Smith doesn't have. The criminal profiles are worlds apart — Smith's history is street-level, opportunistic, and interpersonal. The Guthrie case involves what the evidence suggests was a planned operation.So why did this routine BOLO go national? Because the Nancy Guthrie investigation has gone four months without a named suspect, and that silence has turned the Catalina Foothills into a place where every nearby crime carries the gravitational weight of an unsolved case. Draw a seven-mile circle around any point in a metro area of over a million people and you will find violent crime that has nothing to do with the address at the center of the circle. That's math, not a lead. But when a family has been waiting four months for an answer that hasn't come, math doesn't register the way it should. I break down what we actually know about the Smith case, what we don't know because the sheriff's department has declined to share details, and what both cases reveal about a system that isn't delivering — for Nancy's family or for whoever was allegedly taken at River and La Cholla.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
