Show notes

Seven months into the Nancy Guthrie case—where does the investigation stand, and will it be solved?

In this episode of True Crime with Jen Coffindaffer FBI, Jen looks at the investigation seven months after Nancy disappeared and examines the role of the FBI, the Safe Streets Task Force, Pima County, and other agencies.

Jen discusses the challenges of working a unique kidnap-for-ransom case, the importance of the first hours of an investigation, and why evidence, memories, and potential suspects can disappear as time passes.

She also explores two theories about how Nancy may have been targeted—including the possibility of a larger criminal organization and the theory that someone with a more organic connection to Nancy learned she was vulnerable.

Jen believes the case will eventually be solved. But what will it take to get there?

The JonBenét Ramsey ransom note gets another deep analysis.

Jen and Steve break down the language and the potential red flags they see, while comparing elements of the JonBenét note to the ransom notes in the Nancy Guthrie case.

Is the language in this note telling us more than we realize?

Nancy Guthrie - The Smarts weigh-in with Wyatt Sharpe as our guest. Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

What can the Elizabeth Smart case teach us about Nancy Guthrie?

In this episode of True Crime with Jen Coffindaffer FBI, Jen Coffindaffer is joined by journalist Wyatt Sharpe to discuss his interview with Elizabeth Smart's father, Ed Smart, and the striking parallels between the two cases.

They examine how families respond to an abduction, the importance of hindsight when evaluating suspicious activity, and how Ed Smart's experience shaped his perspective on the Nancy Guthrie investigation.

One of the most powerful takeaways: Ed Smart said he isn't seeing the same signals that gave him hope Elizabeth was still alive during her nine-month abduction.

Jen and Wyatt also explore the possibility that Nancy's abductor may have had some familiarity with her or her family's routines—similar to how Elizabeth Smart's attacker used his access to the Smart family.

A fascinating discussion about patterns, investigative perspective, and what the Smart case might teach us about Nancy Guthrie.

Lindsay Clancy Trial - Dr. Epright joins to discuss postpartum psychosis. Aug 21, 2026

Show notes

Could postpartum psychosis explain what happened in the Lindsay Clancy case?

In this episode of True Crime with Jen Coffindaffer FBI, Jen Coffindaffer is joined by Dr. Camilla Epright, a clinical ethicist and professor whose research focuses on the evaluation and treatment of people who are criminally mentally ill.

They take a deep, nuanced look at postpartum psychosis, including how it differs from postpartum depression, what symptoms doctors look for, how medications and treatment factor into diagnosis, and whether the evidence in Lindsay Clancy's case supports a psychosis diagnosis.

The discussion also tackles hallucinations, delusions, criminal responsibility, and why experts can reach very different conclusions when evaluating the same case.

A fascinating conversation at the intersection of mental health, medicine, ethics, and criminal law.
