Nancy Guthrie's Kidnapper Made Her Family One Promise

The letters at the center of the Nancy Guthrie disappearance are public at last, and they raise more questions than the six months of silence that preceded them. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke take on the listener mailbag for the case that has gripped the country since an 84-year-old mother vanished from her Tucson home.

The first note promised her safe return for $4 million in Bitcoin and carried details from inside the house to prove itself. The second withdrew everything — no demand, no negotiation, just a claim that Nancy perished shortly after she was taken and a wish that her children find peace. Retired FBI agents told CBS News that people motivated by money don't abandon $4 million, and that one writer likely produced both letters. Meanwhile the sheriff's own words the day before the release, and a Wall Street Journal accounting of the investigation's early missteps, have listeners asking who exactly is in control of this case.

From the daughter worried about her own mother living alone to the question of what the renewed search behind Nancy's home really means, these are the eight questions this case comes down to.
