Three cases. One former FBI agent. And a question that keeps coming up no matter which one you look at: is the system actually working for the people it's supposed to protect? Tony Brueski sits down with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer for a long-form conversation across three stories that have gripped the country — the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the cruise-ship death of Anna Kepner, and the stunning reversal in the Alex Murdaugh murder case. Start with Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of a TODAY show host, taken from her own home in the middle of the night. A masked figure at the door, a pacemaker that lost its signal at 2:28 a.m., a fast response — and still no arrest, with the sheriff now no longer even speaking to her family. Then Anna Kepner, the 18-year-old cheerleader found hidden in a cabin she shared aboard a Carnival ship. Unsealed records lay out footage, a phone smashed in the trash, and DNA testing the government calls overwhelming. Her stepbrother is charged as an adult and facing life — and a judge let him stay free until trial. And finally Alex Murdaugh, whose double-murder convictions were overturned over a court clerk's misconduct. He's still in prison for stealing millions, but the murder case is wide open again — two guns never found, no blood on him, and a defense that's never named another suspect. Coffindaffer worked cases like all three for a living. We walk through what each one says about how investigations succeed and fail, and what ties them together. If you've followed any of these stories, this is the conversation that connects them. Press play.
