SAVANNAH'S MOM MISSING 50 DAYS, TIMBERLAKE'S DWI BODY CAM DROPS & BACHELORETTE AXED OVER CHAIR ATTACK VIDEO

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media, Good morning, I'm Garrett Fisher. Tuesday, March twenty fourth, twenty twenty six. Fifty days. That's how long Nancy Guthrie has been gone. Fifty days since she was last seen being dropped off at her home near Tucson, Arizona. Fifty days since a masked man appeared on her doorbell camera, disconnected it, and vanished into the desert night with an eighty four year old woman. Fifty days, no arrest, no suspect, no proof of life. Today her family is back in front of cameras. Not because there's a break in the case, because there isn't one, and they need you to care again.

0:49 Let me walk you through this. Over the weekend, Tucson's local news station KVOA aired a special broadcast called Bring Her Home, The Disappearance of Nancy Guy. The family released a statement during the broadcast, and it is one of the most quietly devastating things I have read in a long time. We miss our mom with every breath, and we cannot be in peace until she is home. We cannot grieve, We can only ache in wonder. They can't grieve because grieving requires knowing, and they don't know anything. They thank Tucson told the community we are all family now, and then they made a direct ask, go back to January thirty first. Search your memories, check your camera footage, look at your journal notes, your text messages, your observations, anything from the night of January thirty first and the early hours of February first. Someone knows something. They said, It's possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant. That's the ask.

1:59 Not a dramatic press conference, not a new lead. Just please look again. Please remember there's another piece of this story worth noting. Savannah Guthrie, the Today Show anchor Nancy's daughter, broke nearly three weeks of social media silence over the weekend. She didn't post about the case. She reposted a clip from Friday's Today Show about Best Buddies International, a nonprofit she's been involved with for years. The clip showed Savannah's best buddy, a woman named Tara who has down syndrome, standing outside the Today Show studio holding a sign that said we love you Savannah. Three yellowheart emojis. That's what Savannah added to the post. That's all she said. She visited the studio on March fifth, got a warm welcome from colleagues. NBC has confirmed she doesn't plan to stay away permanently, but she hasn't come back to air. And honestly, how do you sit across from a camera and talk about the news when your mother is missing and every day without an answer is another day of not knowing whether she's alive. I don't know how you do that.

3:10 I genuinely don't. Now let me talk about where the investigation stands, because the picture is not flattering. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is leading this case. On March twelfth, he told NBC News he believes he knows the motive behind Nancy's kidnapping, but wouldn't share what that motive is. That's an extraordinary claim to make and then sit on. The family is begging for answers, the public is waiting, and the sheriff says he knows why this happened and is keeping it to himself. Of course he did. There's also the matter of what happened in the first hours after Nancy was reported missing. According to reporting from The Daily Mail, the Sheriff's department failed to deploy their fixed wing Cessna aircraft equipped with high resolution thermal imaging for roughly half a day after she went missing, half a day in the Arizona Desert, thermal imaging cameras that could have scanned vast areas of terrain on the tarmac because there weren't enough qualified pilots, a staffing shortage that sources close to the department blamed directly on Nanos. And then there's the crime scene tape. Nanos himself acknowledged it was put up and taken down around Nancy's house multiple times.

4:23 When a reporter asked about contamination, he said, I'll let the court worry about it. We follow the rules of law. Someone should have said something. Someone should have said something a long time ago about how this department has been run. Investigators are now asking Nancy's neighbors for surveillance footage from two specific dates before she disappeared, January eleventh and January twenty fourth. Nobody has explained why those dates matter. The FBI is offering one hundred thousand dollars reward. Savannah's family has put up one million dollars of their own money and donated another five hundred thousand the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The money is there, the attention is there. What there isn't is Nancy. Nancy Guthrie is eighty four years old. She has a pacemaker. She needs medication.

5:13 She was taken from her home in the middle of the night by a mask stranger, and fifty days later, the Sheriff's department is still getting the basics of this investigation sorted out, while her family is on local television in Arizona asking strangers to search their memories remember her. Welcome back. I'm Garrett Fisher. I've spent enough time around the entertainment industry to know this. There are two kinds of celebrity scandals, the kind of good PR team can manage, and the kind where there's video. Justin Timberlake now has the second kind again. Let's go back to June twenty twenty four. Timberlake is in the Hampton Sagarbor, New York.

6:01 He gets pulled over in his twenty twenty five bmw X seven after midnight. The officers observe signs of impairment. They ask him to perform field sobriety tests. The bodycam footage, which was released on March twentieth, after Timberlake tried to block it shows what happened next, and it is something. He stumbles through the tests, calls them really hard, says his heart is racing. When officers explain that between their observations and his performance on the test, they've decided to place him under arrest, his response is, you boys are treating me like a criminal. He told police he had one martini and was following his friends home when they handcuffed him at the station. He tried to stay respectful, thank the officers for doing their job, then spotted the race field on his arrest paperwork white and made a joke about it, laughing handcuffed at his own DWI arrest. Look, look, I understand nerves. I understand people do strange things under pressure, but I'm justin Timberlake as an explanation for why you're in the Hampton's at midnight is not the vibe you want on bodycam footage. He refused the breathalyzer, was placed into custody, then reached a plea deal. In September twenty twenty four, less than three months after the arrest, he stood outside the courthouse and delivered what I will generously describe as a teachable moment. I try to hold myself to a very high standard for myself, and this was

7:33 not that. He told reporters, even if you've had one drink, don't get behind the wheel of a car. He listed alternatives, a friend, a taxi uber, travel apps. He called them travel apps. Fine lesson delivered, case closed, or so it seemed. The reason we're talking about this now is that Timberlake went to court to try to block the bodycam footage from being made public. He argued he had been in an acutely vulnerable state during a roadside encounter with law enforcement. The court disagreed. He reached a settlement with the sag Harbor Village Police Department, and the footage went public on March twentieth, And now his wife has feelings about it.

8:14 Jessica Biel, actress, mother of their two sons, wife since twenty twelve, is reportedly not happy about the footage being released. According to a source who spoke to People magazine, she is supportive of justin she finds the incident stressful she would prefer to move past it. The source added that she is not afraid to express when she's disappointed in certain decisions. This was one of those moments. Following what the source called several challenging moments, Beale is focused on moving forward and on family life, his Forget Tomorrow World tour, the Britney Spears memoir, fallout, now this footage. There have been a lot of moments. Here's what matters beyond them, celebrity gossip. He got behind the wheel of a car after drinking. He refused a breathalyzer. A man with the resources to call any car service in the world at any hour, decided to drive himself home through the Hamptons after midnight on a Saturday. The roads are shared, the risk is shared. The legal system worked eventually, but it took nearly three months to reach a plea deal on what should have been a straightforward case, and then he spent additional time and money trying to keep the bodycam footage private. This is a mistake that I made, but I'm hoping that whoever is watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake. That's what he said outside the courthouse. Whoever is watching is watching justin They just.

9:45 Got a lot more to watch. Welcome back. I'm Garrett Fisher and I want to start this segment with a word about what we are and are not going to do here. This is a crime and justice show. Taylor Frankie Paul is a reality television personality. Normally those two worlds don't meet, but they've met here in a way that involves assault charges, a child witness, domestic violence in front of a toddler, and the biggest network cancelation of the television season. So we're covering it. Let me walk you through this. Taylor Frankie Paul is thirty one years old. She rose to fame as one of the stars of Hulu's reality series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

10:37 She was announced as the lead of season twenty two of ABC's The Bachelorette back in September. Filming wrapped. The season was set to premiere this past Sunday. It did not premiere. It was canceled, and the reason it was canceled is now a matter of public record, a criminal case and a restraining order. Last Thursday, TMZ published surveillance footage from twenty three previously sealed as part of a criminal case, showing Taylor Frankie Paul in a physical altercation with her then boyfriend Dakota Mortenson. She attempts to put him in a headlock. She then picks up a metal barstool and attacks him with it. Her daughter, Indy, who is five years old at the time and is now eight, is visible in the footage. She is on the sofa.

11:22 She is sobbing. According to the police report from that night, Indy was struck during the altercation. She had what the report described as a goose egg on her head. I need to sit with that for a second. A five year old curled up on a sofa crying while her mother attacks someone with a metal barstool. This is what was on the tape that formed part of a felony prosecution. Paul was charged with aggravated assault, a felony. She entered a plea deal three years probation expiring this August. Four. Additional charges, including domestic violence in the presence of a child and child abuse were dropped as part of the agreement.

12:03 On Friday, Mortensen went to a Utah court and was granted a temporary restraining order against Paul. He told the court she posed an immediate threat to his physical safety. The order bans any contact with Mortensen and their two year old son, ever until a hearing scheduled for April seventh. Let me be clear, Paul was not acquitted. She did not fight these charges and win. She entered a plea, she accepted probation. The footage of what she did exists. Her daughter was in the room. ABC and Disney moved fast. Three days before The Bachelorette was supposed to air, they pulled the entire season. Their statement, in light of the newly released video just surface today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family. The cancelation is estimated to cost AB up to twenty eight million dollars. Paul was in New York promoting the season when it was pulled. One of the men cast as a contestant, Doug Mason, who according to reality television insider Steve Carbone, was reportedly the season winner, posted a message saying he was sending prayers to Taylor because that was her moment and her moment was blocked.

13:22 Paul responded, writing, oh my heart goes out to him so sweet. I understand the instinct to be gracious in a bad moment. I do. But her moment was not blocked by the footage. Her moment was blocked by what happened in twenty twenty three. Those are different things. A child was in that room, a child was struck. A child is now eight years old, and that footage is public, and her name is in every article about this story. I'm not gonna tell you what to think about Taylor Frankie Paul's public career or whether she deserves a second chance in the spotlight. What I can tell you is that a little girl named Indy was on a sofa sobbing while her mother swung a metal barstool, and nobody stopped it before it started.

14:06 That child deserved better remember her. That's Tuesday, March twenty fourth. Three stories a missing grandmother, the system is failing, a pop star who thought bodycam footage would stay private, and a little girl who deserved better than what she got. If you have any information about the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, call the Pima County Sheriff's Department or the FBI tip line. The reward stands at one. Million dollars from the family and one hundred thousand from the FBI. Someone in Tucson knows something. I'm Garrett Fisher. Do better.
