At 1:15:10 · chapter starts 1:13:00
Kelly recaps the months-long saga: Today Show host Savannah Guthrie's mother Nancy disappeared on February 1st, and by July the investigating agencies cannot agree on whether the ransom notes are legitimate. Reuters, citing DC-based sources, reported that the FBI considers none of the notes authentic. Fox News immediately challenged that, and the Pima County Sheriff's Office deferred to the FBI — a non-answer that left both positions on the table simultaneously [1] — Megyn Kelly "Nancy Guthrie has been missing since February 1st. By July, the FBI is actively contradicting itself on whether the ransom notes are authen…" 1:13:20 . Callahan recalls former FBI profiler Maureen O'Connell saying she is 75% confident investigators are closing in on the 'Porch Man' suspect. Kelly argues the conflicting public messaging is proof of a case mismanaged from day one, and both hosts express hope that the porch footage will eventually break the case open.
