Alex Murdaugh’s defense team has asked a judge to send untested DNA evidence to Othram, the forensic lab that worked the Kohberger case. The sample was found under Maggie Murdaugh’s left-hand fingernails. SLED identified it as belonging to an unknown, unrelated male and stopped testing. The defense wants to know who it belongs to.

Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke take on the audience’s most heated questions about the retrial. Can a man who stole twelve million and lied to everyone for years be believed about anything? Does the kennel video — his voice at the scene, minutes before the shots — end the conversation, or does it only prove he was hiding something? And does unknown DNA under the fingernails of his murdered wife change the behavioral read, or is it a distraction the defense is dressing up as a bombshell?

The jury question looms over everything. After three years of documentaries and a global media trial, is a neutral jury even possible? The comments are sure they already know the answer — on both sides. Tony and Robin push past the certainty. A Hidden Killers investigation.

From a jail cell, Nick Reiner has filed a court petition demanding money from the trust his murdered parents established. Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. Their son, charged with killing them, now wants their money to defend himself against the charge.

Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke work through the listener questions that have split the audience. Half say the schizophrenia diagnosis closes it. Half say it’s pure entitlement. Robin says neither holds up on its own — because the money motive collapses when you learn he never claimed what he was owed, and the illness theory doesn’t explain why this man, this house, this night.

Nick’s surviving siblings first agreed to fund his defense, then pulled the money. His father reportedly cut him off after years of indulgence. He reportedly believes he’s the target of a conspiracy. Tony and Robin confront whether the audience’s split between “sick” and “entitled” is a false choice — and what they’re missing by treating it as either-or. A Hidden Killers investigation.

The sheriff leading the Nancy Guthrie investigation went on local radio and said he thinks the FBI has made multiple arrests for fake ransom notes in this case. He’s not sure. The lead investigator on a nationally watched kidnapping doesn’t know what his federal partners have been doing. Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke sit down to take apart what that agency gap tells you.

Nanos is calling the TMZ emailer another fraud while fighting a recall effort over his credibility. The FBI is reportedly spending serious resources to identify that same emailer. Harvey Levin offered to pay the Bitcoin and follow the trail on camera — the FBI went silent for a month, then told him to kill the project because they’re “making progress.”

Five months in with no body, no arrest, and a million-dollar reward sitting untouched. The people exploiting this case are getting arrested. The agencies running it aren’t talking to each other. Tony and Robin work through what’s broken and whether the FBI’s progress is real. A Hidden Killers investigation.

Nothing in the Nancy Guthrie case lines up. The notes disagree with each other. One thread of reporting says investigators are hopelessly stuck; another says they're closing in fast. They can't both be right. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer takes on all three fault lines in one sitting.

She breaks down the contradicting notes — "buried with nature," a TMZ tipster's "time is no longer of the essence," and an apology one outlet reported and TMZ denied. She weighs Air Mail's reporting that agents fear they already blew it, alongside a ransom of millions the kidnapper never collected. And she tests Maureen O'Connell's bombshell to Megyn Kelly that the bureau is 75 percent of the way to "porch guy."

How do two former agents read one case so differently? And is this investigation dead or about to break? All claims are reported and unconfirmed; no one has been charged. A Hidden Killers conversation.

Just as the Nancy Guthrie case seemed frozen, a retired FBI agent dropped a bombshell on national radio: they're closing in. Maureen O'Connell told Megyn Kelly her sources say investigators are nearing an identification of "porch guy," the masked man recorded outside the 84-year-old's home the night she disappeared — and she's 75 percent sure. When they get him, she said, everything opens up.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer puts the claim under the light. How much weight does a percentage carry from outside the investigation? How do you name a man who hid his face, with reportedly little more than eye shape and DNA to go on? And does identifying one masked figure really crack the whole case, or is that wishful thinking?

She also weighs the slow-pace explanation — a case built to beat the best defense lawyer alive — and how that optimism collides with reporting that the trail's gone cold. All claims are reported and unconfirmed; no one has been charged. A Hidden Killers discussion.

What if the honest answer in the Nancy Guthrie case is that no one knows anything? Reporting by Air Mail's Howard Blum says investigators themselves fear they blew their best shot early. NewsNation's Brian Entin describes a trail that simply went cold — the man who took the 84-year-old gone as completely as she is.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer takes the question on without blinking. She unpacks what it means when agents quietly admit they're afraid, why a parade of cleared suspects can leave you back at square one, and how one Bitcoin misstep can set a case back for good. Then there's the detail that breaks the logic wide open: a ransom demand for millions that the kidnapper never collected.

If the money was the point, why walk away from it? How do investigations like this tend to end? And is the silence around this case a sign of failure — or discipline? All claims are reported and unconfirmed; no one has been charged. A Hidden Killers conversation.

Strip the Nancy Guthrie case down to the notes, and you don't get clarity — you get a contradiction. One message reportedly says the 84-year-old grandmother is "buried with nature." A separate person emailing TMZ said "time is no longer of the essence." Same conclusion, two unconnected senders. And the most explosive detail — an apology from the kidnapper — is reported by one outlet and denied by another.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer goes through it line by line. How do you verify a death with no body? Why couldn't investigators confirm it? Does a tipster dropping his own urgency make him credible, or is that exactly what a smart con does? And why can't experienced reporters agree on what these notes actually said?

Coffindaffer separates the real signal from the noise — and explains why a stack of contradicting messages might be telling us more than any single one of them. All claims are reported and unconfirmed; no one has been charged. A Hidden Killers discussion of the documents at the center of it all.

Someone called with a detail about Nancy Guthrie that tips shouldn’t contain: what she was wearing. That kind of knowledge doesn’t come from following the case online. It comes from proximity. The caller either saw Nancy after the abduction, received information from someone who did, or was involved in the operation itself. The FBI has been processing leads since February. This one is different.

And then there’s the pharma exposure theory. Nancy Guthrie participated in pharmaceutical litigation involving powerful interests and significant money. Her testimony created exposure for entities that had every reason to want it to go away. Nobody in law enforcement has publicly connected the two — the abduction and the litigation — but the question this episode raises is whether anyone in that world had a reason to silence an eighty-four-year-old woman.

Robin Dreeke examines the caller’s detail, the behavioral profile it creates, and whether the pharma connection is a credible motive track or a coincidence.

A look back at the most compelling stories of the week.
