    2026/02/26
    When Savannah Guthrie announced her family’s $1 million for information for the recovery of her missing mother, Nancy, she also acknowledged the many cases that don’t get a spotlight. In a generous act to help other families, Savannah donated $500,000 to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Senior Investigative Reporter Anne Emerson speaks with Gavin Portnoy, NCMEC’s VP of Communications and Brand, to learn the cost – both financially and emotionally – of searching for missing loved ones, specifically children. Gavin stresses the importance of maintaining a “white-hot spotlight” of attention to drive public tips, which he’s seen firsthand solve cases. He explains how caretakers can work to keep kids safe in today’s digital world, because “the white van is in your kids’ pockets now.” Subscribe, like, and follow Criminally Obsessed for ongoing coverage and expert insight into the cases everyone is talking about.

    What can a reward really do for an investigation? For all of us following the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson, Arizona home, it’s the million dollar question we’re all wondering about after Savannah Guthrie made the announcement. The Guthrie siblings are now offering up to $1 million for information leading to the recovery of their mother, that’s in addition to the FBI’s $100,000 reward. Will it spur someone to come forward? To find out, we had to speak with someone who worked cases just like this one for the FBI in Arizona. In this episode, Investigative Reporter Anne Emerson speaks with John Iannarelli, Former FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge for the state of Arizona. They react to the latest updates in the Guthrie case, Savannah Guthrie’s latest social media video plea, the rarity of a $1 million reward in missing persons cases, and what this could mean for the race to find Nancy Guthrie.

    Husband KILLED With a Cocktail? - Inside the Kouri Richins Trial with Joseph Scott Morgan
    2026/02/24
    Kouri Richins murder trial began this week in Utah. Her husband’s sudden death led her to write a children’s book about grief and healing for her three young sons at least. Now, Kouri is on trial, accused of poisoning her husband in 2022. Eric Richins had five times the lethal limit of fentanyl in his system. Prosecutors say she laced his drink because she wanted money and a new life with her lover. In this episode, Anne Emerson is joined by friend of the Criminally Obsessed family, Joseph Scott Morgan. He’s the host of the Body Bags podcast and a forensic professor at Jacksonville State University. Together, they break down the gritty forensic questions at the heart of this case: how poisoning is detected in the body, what a lethal dose of fentanyl actually looks like, and whether intimate partner poisonings may be growing in popularity as a method of murder.

    Three weeks in and everyone is tired of waiting for the next big break in the Guthrie case. But just imagine what the family is feeling, with no sleep and nonstop stress and worry. Dawn Conley says finding a missing person is like finding a needle in a haystack and she would know. Her 17-year-old daughter, Brittanee Drexel disappeared during Spring Break 2009 and wasn't found until 2022. Meaning, she was missing for 13 years. Right now, Nancy Guthrie has been missing for nearly three weeks. Dawn remembers the third week of her desperate search. She was meeting with law enforcement daily and making sure her daughter's face and name were on the news every night. Investigative Reporter Anne Emerson met Dawn while she was fighting for justice for Brittanee, and later saw her killer, Ray Moody, sentenced for what he did to her. They talk candidly about Brittanee's case and the toll a missing persons case takes on the entire family. Dawn says she prays for Savannah Guthrie, the entire Guthrie family and law enforcement searching Tucson for any signs of Nancy Guthrie. Britt's National Foundation for the Missing and Forgotten
