  Nancy Guthrie was seen by anyone in her family just before ten PM on January 31st, when a family member dropped her off at her home. Police now believe that she was abducted from her home by an unknown assailant. This case has made headlines for weeks now, with new details coming out daily. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the disappearance and alleged abduction of Nancy Guthrie. Nancy's daughter, Savannah, is known to millions of people as a host on the popular Today show. That may have been one of the causes initially of the media frenzy. But now, people have been swept up by the emerging details, such as doorbell camera footage of the suspected perpetrator. There have been multiple ransom demands, some proven to be hoaxes, but no proof of life has been offered, and no credible demands have been made. The public is clamoring to find out what happened to Nancy and what her current status is.     You can help support the show through Patreon. We'd love to connect with listeners on social media.

We're excited to share a preview of a new podcast we think you'd enjoy: Mind Games. What if you could hypnotize yourself into a better you? Or…. secretly hypnotize others into giving you anything you want? That's the promise of NLP. Mind Games is an investigation into the world of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP, a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology that has quietly shaped industries, institutions, and belief systems around the world. Part science experiment, part investigation, part true crime thriller, Mind Games tells the story of NLP and its crazy cast of disciples, including the fake doctor who invented it at a New Age commune, took it to Fortune 500 boardrooms, and whose gruesome murder trial did little to stop its rise. Find Mind Games on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get podcasts. New episodes out Tuesdays. Listen here: swap.fm/l/listen-to-mind-games

Although we are off for a holiday break, we wanted to bring you this replay episode from the Criminology vault. It's the case of Rhonda Hinson which originally aired on 237 in December, 2022.  We will be back with all new episodes starting January 3, 2026. Happy holidays!   On December 22nd, 1981, 19-year-old Rhonda Annette Hinson headed to an office Christmas party. In the early morning of the 23rd, she was found about a half mile from her home lying outside her car on the should of the road. The police determined that Rhonda had been shot by a high-powered rifle that went through her trunk, back seat, and into the driver's seat. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the baffling death of Rhonda Hinson. Witnesses came forward the descriptions of cars seen near Rhonda's car. Police had to figure out if these were people involved in Rhonda's death or people who stopped to see what was happening. What clouded the waters even more was that it was revealed that Rhonda was not supposed to come home that night, and only a few people knew of her change in plans. The police looked closely at Rhonda's boyfriend, Greg, and a friend named Mark, whose girlfriend said she saw Rhonda's sweater in his car before Rhonda was killed. That sweater was later found in Rhonda's car. 41 years later, two big questions remain. What exactly happened in the death of Rhonda Hinson, and who was involved?
