Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield

Breaking: A body matching Elena Moore’s clothing was found in a wooded area after newly obtained surveillance video showed the missing 39-year-old walking near Old Cherokee Road the night she vanished. Elena Katherine Moore disappeared in Lexington, South Carolina after she was last seen leaving Planet Fitness on Whiteford Way on June 11, wearing an olive-green zip-up hoodie and black athletic pants. Police later obtained surveillance video showing Moore walking through the Publix parking lot at 100 Old Cherokee Road around 9:17 p.m., still wearing the same clothes. Days later, investigators say a tip helped lead them to a search area near Old Cherokee Road, where a body was found wearing clothing that matched Moore’s last known outfit. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the strange and troubling timeline surrounding Elena Moore’s disappearance and the unanswered questions now surrounding the death investigation being handled by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. Ashleigh also speaks with NewsNation National Correspondent Mills Hayes, who obtained bombshell Ring camera footage from about a week before Moore disappeared. The video appears to show Elena Moore confused and disoriented at a Lexington apartment complex, picking up someone else’s DoorDash order, trying to follow a homeowner inside, and later telling the homeowner, “I don’t know what I’m doing.”

Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson, Arizona home more than 135 days ago, and investigators have released almost nothing about what happened to the 84-year-old grandmother. But now, a new cybersecurity report on so-called “wrench attacks” and “proxy target attacks” has raised a disturbing possibility in the case: was Nancy taken not because of what she had, but because of who she was connected to? In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the new report, the brutal rise of crypto-related kidnappings and torture-for-password crimes, and why Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says the task force is aware of the report and has flagged it to investigators. Ashleigh also speaks with security expert Spencer Coursen, a former U.S. Army Ranger and former special deputy U.S. Marshal, about how these attacks work, why criminals are moving from hacking to physical violence, and what families can do to protect themselves from ransom, extortion, and proxy targeting.

Anna Kepner was found dead under a bed on a Carnival cruise ship, and now the 16-year-old stepbrother who shared that cabin with her has been sent to jail. Timothy Hudson, the 16-year-old accused in the death of Florida cheerleader Anna Kepner aboard the Carnival Horizon, has been ordered into U.S. Marshals custody after prosecutors pushed to have him detained. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh walks through the newly unsealed court documents, the cruise ship surveillance timeline, the phone evidence, and the DNA details prosecutors say are central to the case. Former Florida State Attorney Dave Aronberg joins Ashleigh to break down the federal charges, the adult prosecution, and what happens next for a teenager facing life in prison.

A chilling new tip has pushed the Nancy Guthrie case across the border and into one of the darkest possible search areas yet. After 131 days with no sign of the missing Arizona grandmother, a volunteer search group in Nogales, Mexico says it received a specific anonymous tip claiming Nancy Guthrie may be buried near Mariposa, an area where searchers have previously found 25 unmarked graves. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the new Mexico search, the anonymous tip, the 25 unmarked graves, the Pima County response, and then sits down with Dr. Tracy “Trace” Sargent, a forensic criminologist, victimology expert, law enforcement officer, canine handler, and missing persons specialist, to talk about what this tip could mean.

Breaking: Brian Hooker is refusing to cooperate in the suspected murder investigation into his missing wife, Lynette Hooker. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh breaks down the latest turn in the Bahamas case and sits down with famed criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos to talk about what it means when a husband at the center of a suspected murder probe refuses to cooperate with investigators. Brian says Lynette “bounced” off the back of their dinghy in the Sea of Abaco, but the Coast Guard has now searched key areas tied to his timeline, taken possession of the dinghy, and continued following evidence in the case. Lynette Hooker is still missing. Brian Hooker has not been charged with a crime.
