Profiling Evil

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has released two messages connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of TODAY co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. One demands millions in Bitcoin and threatens her life. The other claims she died shortly after being taken and was “buried in nature.” In this episode, we examine the communications using forensic linguistics, behavioral threat-assessment principles and practical law-enforcement investigative standards. What do the shifts from “we” to “me,” from control to apology, and from “will be killed” to “we never intended to hurt her” begins to tell us about the writer. Do the notes suggest they were written by the same author, or several? And what can responsibly be said about the writer’s personality presentation, writing ability, education and sophistication—and what would cross the line into speculation?

This week’s lead story is the Nancy Guthrie investigation, where Sheriff Chris Nanos says testing of a hair recovered from her Arizona home did not point to a suspect and a separate DNA mixture involving as many as four people remains under examination by laboratories across the country. The forensic update follows Savannah Guthrie’s new video asking whoever took her mother to tell the family where to look, language that may be intended to reach an accomplice or somebody with partial knowledge as well as the principal offender. We also cover the life-without-parole sentence for Colt Gray and the 15-year sentence for his father in the Apalachee High School case, the opening testimony in Lindsay Clancy’s Massachusetts murder trial and the British conviction of Johannes Kongsnes Natland in an international murder-for-hire plan. The behavioral focus throughout is on preparation, access, communication, control and the difference between confirmed evidence and reasonable inference.

The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy begins with two radically different accounts of the same tragedy. Prosecutors allege that Clancy deliberately created a window of time, sent her husband away, and methodically killed their three children before attempting to take her own life. The defense does not dispute that she caused the children’s deaths. Instead, it argues that months of deteriorating mental health, severe insomnia, suicidal thinking, psychiatric treatment, medication changes, and alleged command hallucinations culminated in psychosis.

In this Profiling Evil review, we examine the opening statements point by point: what each side claims, how the same facts are framed differently, and what the prosecution must prove to establish criminal responsibility. This episode contains discussion of child deaths, suicide, and severe mental illness. Viewer discretion is advised.

This week, we’re looking at four cases that have reached very different points in the legal process. In Los Angeles, a judge is hearing the evidence prosecutors say connects musician David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, to the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. In Buffalo, Hadi Matar is on trial on federal terrorism charges stemming from the 2022 attack on author Salman Rushdie. In Brooklyn, longtime Sinaloa Cartel leader Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada has been sentenced to life in federal prison. And in Greece, a court has refused to extradite James Dalamangas to Australia over the 1999 killing of George Giannopoulos. These cases involve allegations of concealment, movement toward a specific target, organized criminal leadership and the limits of international extradition. As always, allegations and charges are not convictions unless a court has reached that result.

n 1911, the Mona Lisa vanished from the wall of the Louvre Museum in the center of Paris. One morning she was hanging in the Salon Carré, and shortly after, the most recognizable painting in the world was gone. What followed was a two-year investigation filled with bad assumptions, conflicting witnesses, media pressure, false suspects, radical artists, wealthy collectors, and one ordinary man who may have fooled everyone by looking like he belonged. In this episode, we’ll look at the theft of the Mona Lisa from a criminal behavior and investigative perspective. Was this the work of a professional thief? A museum insider? A wealthy collector? Or was the real offender hiding in plain sight all along?

I just returned from Paris, where the Mona Lisa still draws huge crowds. That trip sparked a fresh look at this historic case I participated in discussing the case with other experts and Lawrence Fishburne on History’s Greatest Mysteries. We looked beyond the art mystery and into opportunity, offender behavior, investigative assumptions, and how one theft helped turn the Mona Lisa into a worldwide icon. Let’s examine the empty frame, the missing doorknob, the early use of fingerprint evidence and the suspicion around Eddie Guerin, Pablo Picasso , Guillaume Apollinaire, J.P. Morgan and a relatively unknown Italian named Vincenzo Peruggia.

Today I’m looking at the targeted killing of five relatives in East St. Louis, the evidence presented against the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, the fatal shooting of Deputy U.S. Marshal Drew Hanson in Louisiana and the robbery-homicide case involving American marine biologist Kent Carpenter in the Philippines. Along with the basic facts and current court status, we’ll discuss the behavioral patterns investigators may be examining, including possible planning, victim selection, escalation and actions taken after the crimes. This is not an attempt to diagnose anyone from a distance. These are practical observations based only on publicly reported allegations, and every suspect or defendant discussed here is presumed innocent unless convicted.

In this episode of Profiling Evil, I sit down with Sarah Edmondson and Anthony “Nippy” Ames from A Little Bit Culty for a raw and honest conversation about cult behavior, coercive control, undue influence and the slow erosion of personal autonomy. They were inside NXIVM, the organization led by Keith Raniere, who was convicted in federal court in 2019 of racketeering, sex trafficking, attempted sex trafficking, forced labor conspiracy and other crimes. In 2020, Raniere was sentenced to 120 years in prison.

But this conversation isn’t just about NXIVM. It’s about how control can be disguised as self-improvement, leadership training, discipline, personal growth, spiritual development or belonging. Sarah and Nippy explain how people don’t usually walk into a destructive group knowing what it really is. They walk in because they’re looking for purpose, community, answers, confidence, healing or a better version of themselves. That’s what makes this discussion so important. We talk about the first hooks, the love bombing, the status systems, the pressure to ignore red flags, the “us versus them” thinking, the sunk cost fallacy, the fear of admitting you were wrong and the painful moment when a person finally realizes the leader is not who they claimed to be.

Sarah shares how her intuition warned her early, but how those warnings were slowly trained out of her. Nippy talks about susceptibility, blind spots, loyalty, shame and why assuming “that could never happen to me” may be one of the most dangerous beliefs a person can carry.

Their podcast, A Little Bit Culty, focuses on helping people understand, heal from and avoid abusive systems “one little red flag at a time,” and their book, A Little Bit Culty, is described as a guide to understanding how manipulation and control take hold, and how people can begin to break free.

From a criminal behavior perspective, this episode looks at how predatory personalities study vulnerability. They don’t always begin with threats. Often, they begin with charm, praise, status, access and the promise that you can become something better if you’ll just trust the process. That’s where control gets dangerous. Not when it looks obvious, but when it looks helpful. This is a conversation for parents, students, true crime followers, faith communities, business leaders, coaches, creators and anyone who wants to better understand coercive control before it reaches the point of crisis. Because cult tactics aren’t limited to cults. They can show up in relationships, workplaces, political movements, wellness groups, online communities, business cultures and anywhere a person uses trust to gain power over someone else.

The Nancy Guthrie investigation continues to generate questions, speculation, and plenty of opinions. Over the last several days, we’ve learned more about one man who admitted sending fraudulent communications connected to the case, but it doesn’t answer the larger questions that still haunt Nancy’s family and investigators. Let’s examine the behavioral differences between genuine offender communications and hoaxes. We’ll talk about why investigators compare statements the way they do, why the FBI’s recent wording deserves attention, and what we really know, what we don’t know, and why patience is still important in a complex investigation. Can this case still be solved? Why just one authentic communication hidden among several hoaxes could still become the breakthrough investigators need and why public frustration doesn’t automatically mean law enforcement has failed.

Federal prosecutors have announced arrests tied to an alleged plot to attack the #UFCFreedom250 event at the White House. According to the Department of Justice, the alleged plan included explosive-laden drones, forced crowd movement, and sniper fire aimed at government officials and others attending the event. This episode is not about politics. It is about behavior. Let’s look at this case through the lens of criminal behavior, threat assessment, leakage, grievance, fanaticism, online reinforcement, and the warning signs that can appear before targeted violence. This is a practical discussion about how dangerous people move from anger, to identity, to planning, and how normal people can recognize red flags before tragedy happens.

The Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing is less about dramatic testimony and more about the fight over what the judge, the public, the media, and eventually a jury pool should be allowed to hear before trial. Investigators testified about the investigation after Robinson turned himself in, Robinson’s roommate and his statement and whether it will be admitted into evidence. Prosecutors wanted the audio played in open court and the defense is fighting it because they believe it contains statements the state will later characterize as confessions. Erika Kirk, victim Charlie Kirk’s widow is pushing for full transparency and asked the court to allow the evidence to be made public for the world to see.

It seems the court will bind Robinson over for trial, the evidence has been overwhelming that he was on the campus, in proximity of where the shot was fired from and recorded fleeing the area with something that could be considered a weapon in his hands after the shot. So why is this judge being so cautious? Is it concerns of later appeals, the fact this is happening on a global scale or is he simply being a judge and considering whether public trust, media coverage, conspiracy claims, and the defendant’s rights are balanced. Don’t forget, Tyler Robinson is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
