Life In Jest

Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping: Why Aren’t They Checking the Eyes?


Listen Later

What happens when cousin-besties Selene and Pascale sit down to record…after calling the police?

The girls have had a rough night---and they're all fired up with conflicting opinions, and spontaneous singing!

This episode of Life in Jest spirals (in the best way) from true-crime obsession to off-the-rails pop culture, blending humor, sharp instincts, and brutally honest takes on everything from true-crime cases to weed, wellness, and the randomness of modern life.

Selene dives into the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping that’s been haunting her—questioning the evidence, the investigation, and what really happens when a case doesn’t add up. Expect unfiltered theories, emotional reactions, and true crime analysis that unfolds in real time—raw, conversational, and completely unscripted. Why hasn't the FBI been checking local residents' eyes for a match to the kidnapper's?

From there, things take a turn:

  • Why true crime might be losing its appeal
  • The surprising (and alarming) truth about cannabis and health risks
  • The difference between relaxing… and spiraling
  • Pop culture deep dives—from Rocky Horror to 80s music to random trivia that somehow becomes addictive, unexpected, and quite informative

Underneath the humor, there’s something sharper: a conversation about anxiety, control, nostalgia, and how we make sense of a world that doesn’t always add up.

This episode is messy, funny, a little chaotic—and exactly what Life in Jest does best.

If you like:

true crime discussions, unscripted podcasts, women-led conversations, Gen X nostalgia, pop culture debates, and real talk about life’s weird edges… this one’s for you.
