  • The Case That Deserved Headlines But Never Got Them

    Join us as we spotlight a case that has been buried by time—but not by the pain of a mother who refuses to stop fighting.On December 3, 2010, Nicole Glass, 27, and her pregnant roommate, Melissa Mason, 27, were found strangled inside their Phoenix home. There were no signs of forced entry, no clear motive, and no arrests. Melissa's unborn child also perished, making this a devastating triple homicide that remains unsolved more than 15 years later.While new missing-person cases dominate headlines, Nicole's mother, Rachel Glass, has spent the last decade and a half living through every milestone her daughter never got to experience—no wedding, no children, no future—only unanswered questions. Despite raising reward money, pleading publicly for tips, and even taking legal action against the Phoenix Police Department over claims Nicole may have been an unprotected informant, the case has remained cold and largely ignored.In contrast, the recent disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has sparked immediate national attention—along with FBI involvement, DNA evidence, surveillance footage, and reports of a possible ransom note.So why does one case receive wall-to-wall coverage while another fades into silence?In this video, we center on Rachel Glass's perspective, her frustration with the lack of transparency, the emotional toll of 15 years without justice, and the message so many cold-case families share:Re-upload from 4/19/2026

  • Should Politicians Ever Interfere in Criminal Cases? The Nancy Guthrie Situation

    Did a sitting U.S. Senator's "support" help or hurt the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC's Savannah Guthrie? In this video, we examine the controversial moment Senator Mark Kelly showed up at the Pima County Sheriff's Office with donuts and coffee for the investigators — just days after Savannah Guthrie called him privately before the case even went public.What We Cover:The full timeline of Senator Kelly's involvement: the late-night call, direct contact with the sheriff, and the now-famous donut visitHow political connections may have accelerated attention… and created complicationsThe real impact on the investigation: more tips vs. increased scrutiny, distractions, and "two-tiered justice" complaintsWhy do politicians getting involved in active criminal cases raise serious concerns — even when it looks like innocent supportCurrent status of the Nancy Guthrie case (Day 74+): masked suspect, DNA evidence, ransom notes, and why Nancy is still missingThis isn't about conspiracy theories — it's about a core principle: criminal investigations should remain in the hands of trained law enforcement, not politicians.Should elected officials ever insert themselves into ongoing cases — even as "friends"? Even with donuts?Re-upload from 4/15/2026
