True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

The FBI released the surveillance footage. We brought it to the man who ran the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program and asked him what he sees.
Robin Dreeke spent 21 years at the FBI specializing in counterintelligence behavioral analysis — reading people in high-stakes situations and predicting what they'll do based on how they move, react, and decide under pressure. We put the Nancy Guthrie Nest camera footage in front of him and asked every question the investigation should be asking.
What does the behavioral sequence at the front door — the approach, the reach, the hesitation, the turn, the improvised plant — reveal about this person's stress state and capability? What does forensic concealment paired with reactive improvisation typically indicate about who you're looking at? What does a penlight in the mouth instead of a headlamp tell you? What do reflective jacket elements in a dark-sky community say about planning?
And the question that should be at the center of every conversation about this case: the operation that took Nancy Guthrie required a specific target, specific knowledge, camera removal, and the silent extraction of a mobility-limited 84-year-old woman. Does the person in this footage match that operation — or is the most important person in this case someone who isn't on camera at all?

Every parent of an addict runs the same equation — if I find the right variable, the answer changes. The right rehab. The right therapist. The right diagnosis. The right medication. Rob and Michele Reiner ran that equation for more than fifteen years, changing the variable every time the answer stayed the same. They never questioned the equation itself.
This episode examines the Reiner case through a lens no one else is using — the parents' perspective. Not with the benefit of hindsight, but from inside the logic that made every decision feel rational in real time. From spending sixty thousand dollars a month on rehab while attending every family session personally, to publicly blaming the professionals who warned them their son was manipulating them, to bringing a visibly unstable Nick to Conan O'Brien's Christmas party because they were reportedly afraid to leave him home alone — every choice had its own internal coherence. And every choice moved them closer to the night of December 14th.
Rob Reiner once told the LA Times he regretted listening to counselors with "diplomas on their wall" instead of trusting his son. Michele said the same. They reversed years of boundaries in a single public confession of guilt. When Nick was later diagnosed with schizophrenia, it gave them one more framework — illness, not character — that made staying close feel like the responsible thing to do. Seventy thousand dollars a month in psychiatric care. Their son in the guesthouse a hundred feet from their bedroom. And two parents serving as the only daily supervisors of a man the state had once deemed gravely disabled.
Tony Brueski breaks down the psychology of enabling at its most devastating — when the enablers aren't negligent, but devoted.

Two of the biggest cases in the country. One defense attorney who sees what the public does not. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins True Crime Today to break down the Nancy Guthrie investigation and the Alex Murdaugh appeal — and what both cases reveal about the gap between official narratives and investigative reality.
In the Guthrie case, Motta walks through a crime scene that was released and re-entered four times, digital evidence with no video to support it, a sheriff saying no suspects while deputies conduct forensic photography at a family member's home, and a ransom situation that has already been contaminated by confirmed imposters. The Guthrie family has posted four escalating video pleas and offered six million in Bitcoin. CNN's Andrew McCabe says the tone suggests they have heard nothing. Trump previewed a coming "solution." Motta explains what the evidence and the silence tell a defense attorney.
On Murdaugh, oral arguments hit Wednesday with Becky Hill's perjury in the record and the defense arguing the wrong legal standard was applied. If the conviction is reversed, the defense has the full first trial transcript. The financial crimes motive evidence may be excluded. The forensic case has gaps — no DNA, no prints, no blood. And Murdaugh is already serving 67 combined years on financial crimes. Motta explains whether the AG's office actually retries.
Bob Motta gives the defense attorney's read on both — and explains what you are not being told.

After fifteen days and four weeks of prosecution evidence, the state has rested in the Paul Caneiro quadruple murder trial in Monmouth County, New Jersey. The case they built is anchored in forensic evidence, financial motive, and devastating autopsy testimony. Jurors heard a medical examiner describe eight-year-old Sophia Caneiro's injuries in clinical detail — stab wounds across nearly her entire body, defensive wounds on her legs, and a carbon monoxide level of forty-nine percent, confirming she was still alive when the fire started. The autopsy photos were so disturbing that one juror was pulled aside by Judge Lemieux and questioned about whether he could remain fair.
The prosecution's case included DNA from both Caneiro children found on jeans and a glove in Paul's basement, evidence of a contact-range gunshot through Keith Caneiro's hood, a cut Verizon line that disabled the fire alarm, approximately seventy-eight thousand dollars missing from a family trust Paul managed, and Keith's final calls demanding answers about stolen funds. They also presented items found in a backpack in the family Porsche — a knife, gun barrel, firearm parts, a thermal camera, and two passports.
Now the defense has opened with a strategy centered on character and an alternate suspect. Friends and neighbors testified that Paul was easygoing, gentle, and deeply bonded with his brother — though none knew about the financial crisis unfolding between them. Paul's daughter Katie gave tearful testimony calling the victims her second parents, then described her father screaming and crying when he learned of the Colts Neck fire — contradicting investigators who said he was quiet. The defense continues to press its theory that the youngest brother, Corey Caneiro, should have been investigated. Corey lived in the victims' basement months before the murders and his DNA was never collected. A legal issue halted court Monday when prosecutors objected to the defense's questioning, prompting the judge to demand emergency briefs from both sides. This trial is now in its most pivotal phase.

The South Carolina Supreme Court hears oral arguments Wednesday on Alex Murdaugh's appeal — and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta says the question nobody wants to ask is whether the state even retries this case if the conviction is reversed. On True Crime Today, Motta walks through the legal reality facing both sides and explains why a retrial may be worse for the prosecution than the appeal.
Becky Hill's perjury conviction is in the appellate record. Three jurors corroborated the tampering allegations. The state investigated, interviewed all jurors, and chose not to charge Hill with jury tampering. Motta reads that prosecutorial decision as a signal about how confident the state actually is in this verdict's integrity.
The defense argues Justice Toal applied the wrong legal standard — requiring proof a juror changed their vote instead of applying the Remmer presumption of prejudice. Motta explains why appellate courts often treat the wrong standard as reversible error regardless of the strength of the underlying evidence.
If reversal happens, the defense has every advantage. The full transcript is their roadmap. They know every witness and every prosecutorial strategy. The prosecution faces potential exclusion of the financial crimes testimony that formed their entire motive theory. Without it, this is a purely circumstantial case with forensic gaps — no DNA, no fingerprints, no blood linking Murdaugh to the killings.
Murdaugh is already serving 27 years state and 40 federal for financial crimes. He is not walking out regardless. Motta explains the calculus: does the AG retry a case where the defendant is already locked up for life, a second trial risks new problems, and the original conviction is already stained?
