  • CRIME CAPSULE DAILY: The search for Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's mother, continues
    Feb 5 2026

    Welcome to CRIME CAPSULE DAILY where we examine national crime stories making headlines. As former crime reporters, Chelsea Donovan and I (Amanda Lamb) can't help but investigate every high-profile crime case in the news. It's in our DNA. It's the kind of curiosity that never leaves you after spending 50+ combined years in the business. Some people might call it an obsession. We are using our expertise to discuss what we know, what we don't know, and what we hope to learn. The goal is to shed some new light on this case based on our years in the trenches.

    This episode focuses on the abduction of Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, and the continued search for her five days after she was reported missing. We recorded this show Thursday afternoon right after the Pima County Sheriff's latest press conference. We are sharing what we learned, dispelling myths, and examining the powerful and emotional video made by Savannah Guthrie and her siblings where they are pleading for their mother's kidnappers to reach out to them. This is a case that has captivated the country not just because the victim has a famous daughter, but because she is someone's mother, someone's grandmother, someone we could all imagine knowing and loving.

    If you have information that could help solve this case please call: 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or the Pima County Sheriff's Office at 520-351-4900.

  • CRIME CAPSULE: Bizarre love triangle leads to murder
    Feb 4 2026

    In January 2008, drivers on their morning commute saw something horrible—a body along the side of a major highway in Wake County, North Carolina. When investigators arrived, they thought they would find a hit-and-run victim, but instead, they found a murder victim. A 21-year-old accounting student from a local university had been stabbed to death thirty times and left on the side of the road to die. Immediately, their attention turned toward Latrese Curtis' husband, Darin, and the man she was having an affair with, Steven Randolph. But both men quickly cooperated with authorities and were ruled out as suspects. Still, investigators suspected there might be some connection between her affair and her death. What they discovered was something no one ever expected. Investigators pieced together the puzzle of a bizarre love triangle that included jealousy, rage, and unrequited obsession in order to find justice for Latrese.

    In this interview the lead investigator on the case shares his memories of what would turn out to be the most bizarre case he ever investigated.
