What does a retired FBI agent with decades of organized-crime experience think happened to Nancy Guthrie?

In this episode of True Crime with Jen Coffindaffer FBI, Jen is joined by retired FBI Special Agent Frank Storey, a 30-year veteran who helped lead major investigations targeting the Mafia and organized crime.

Frank gives his professional assessment of the Nancy Guthrie case and says he believes Nancy was kidnapped for ransom. He also shares his theory about what may have happened after she was taken and why he believes the ransom letters that followed were likely not written by the kidnappers.

Most importantly, Frank believes the case will eventually be solved, explaining why someone involved could eventually talk—possibly after being arrested for another serious crime.

A fascinating conversation with an FBI veteran who spent his career investigating organized crime and knows what it takes to break complex cases.

The JonBenét Ramsey ransom note gets another deep analysis.
