Everyone's a behavioral analyst now. Eighteen thousand tips have flooded the Nancy Guthrie investigation — most of them wrong, many based on gut feelings from people watching family videos online. Reddit threads are dissecting body language. Comment sections are full of accusations. The entire country has become an amateur investigation unit.

Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He spent twenty-one years learning how to actually read people. In this interview, he explains what mass observation does to a case — and everyone caught in it.

The Guthrie family knows they're being watched. Every video statement gets torn apart. Every pause analyzed. Every blink interpreted by people with no training. Dreeke breaks down the feedback loop: the public watches, the family becomes self-conscious, their behavior changes, and the public reads that change as suspicious. Innocent people start looking guilty — and investigators have to cut through all that noise to find the truth.

Then there's the perpetrator. They're watching too. Seeing the theories, tracking the coverage, reading what people think they know. What does sustained mass observation do to someone trying to stay hidden?

This is the conversation about what we're all doing when we obsess over a case like this — and whether the attention helps or makes everything worse.
