Former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke delivers a three-part analysis covering two major cases — the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping investigation and the Kouri Richins murder trial.

Robin Dreeke on Kouri Richins: Reading Deception in Real Time
The first week of the Kouri Richins murder trial delivered the prosecution's key witness — and the defense's demolition of her credibility. Carmen Lauber claims she bought fentanyl for Kouri four times before Eric Richins died. But she was using meth. She got immunity from three jurisdictions. Her supplier now contradicts her. She admitted confusion under cross-examination. The jury has to deci...

Nancy Guthrie: The Investigation Isn't Broken — This Is What They All Look Like
Federal sources accusing the sheriff of blocking evidence. The sheriff pushing back publicly. A crime scene released before the FBI secured it. DNA sent to a private Florida lab instead of Quantico. Conflicting information about whether the doorbell images were from one day or two. From the outside, the Nancy Guthrie investigation looks like a mess. Robin Dreeke says that's because the outside ...
