00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.919
Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm read Carter Tuesday, February seventeenth,
2
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.120
twenty twenty six. Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. Courts
3
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.719
were closed yesterday for President's Day, but the news didn't stop.
4
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.399
Let me catch you up on three major stories from
5
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:28.039
last week. Savannah Guthrie's mother is still missing. Nancy Guthrie,
6
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.239
eighty four years old, vanished from her Arizona home on
7
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:36.880
February first. Over two weeks now, FBI analyzing DNA from
8
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.479
a glove found near the home that appears to match
9
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.880
one worn by a masked suspect captured on doorbell camera footage.
10
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:49.000
Savannah posting video after video on Instagram pleading with whoever
11
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.520
took her mother to do the right thing. No leading theory,
12
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.200
no suspects identified. An eighty four year old woman with
13
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.640
a pacemaker who needs daily medication gone. Friday was verdict
14
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.920
day in two major cases. Paul Knaro, fifty nine, convicted
15
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.159
of four counts of first degree murder in the Colt's
16
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.359
Neck Mansion murders. Shot his brother Keith in the front yard,
17
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.439
stabbed his sister in law Jennifer, stabbed his eleven year
18
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.719
old nephew Jesse and eight year old niece Sophia, then
19
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.840
set both homes on fire to cover it up. All
20
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.359
over stolen business money. Jury deliberated five hours guilty on everything,
21
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:31.439
same day, same courtroom, energy, different state. Juliana Paris Magilhays,
22
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.040
the Brazilian ou pair who helped her lover Brendan Banfield,
23
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.640
murder his wife and an innocent stranger, sentenced to ten
24
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.879
years in prison maximum under her plea deal. Judge Penny
25
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.599
Askarat rejected prosecutor's recommendation of time served and told her
26
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.000
she deserves nothing other than incarceration and a life of reflection.
27
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.480
Prosecutors wanted her to walk free. The judge said absolutely not.
28
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:03.000
I'm read Carter today. A missing mother, a mansion murderer,
29
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.879
and an o pair who thought cooperation would set her free.
30
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:15.039
This is Celebrity Trials. February first, twenty twenty six. Somewhere
31
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.919
in Arizona, Nancy Guthrie, eighty four years old, mother of
32
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.879
Today's show co host Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her home
33
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.599
over two weeks later. Nobody knows where she is, whether
34
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:31.000
she's alive, who took her, or why. Here's what we know.
35
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.879
Doorbell camera footage from Nancy's home captured a masked person
36
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:39.759
outside the residence the morning she vanished, wearing gloves face covered.
37
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.280
The FBI released that footage publicly, hoping someone would recognize
38
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:48.360
the build, the gait, the clothing. So far, nothing definitive,
39
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.280
but there's a break in the evidence. A glove was
40
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.159
recovered near Nancy Guthrie's home. FBI says it appears to
41
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.919
visually match the gloves worn by the suspect in the
42
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.360
doorbell camera. Footage from that glove is now being analyzed.
43
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:06.560
The DNA will be run through CODIS, the FBI's combined
44
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:11.439
DNA index system, which holds more than nineteen million offender profiles.
45
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.240
If whoever touched that glove has a criminal history, there
46
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.960
could be a match. If not, authorities will also submit
47
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.120
the evidence to third party DNA mapping services, the same
48
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:26.840
genealogical approach that helped identify Brian Koberger in the Idaho murders.
49
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.479
Even if the suspect never submitted their own DNA, a
50
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.840
family member might have and that's enough to start narrowing
51
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.560
the field. How fast will results come? Former Fort Worth
52
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.759
Police Chief Jeffrey Halsted told CNN. It could be anywhere
53
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.080
from twenty four to forty eight hours, depending on the
54
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.840
quality of the sample. The urgency of this case could
55
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.159
expedite testing, but even touch DNA the kind you'd leave
56
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.759
on a glove, can be significant if it ties directly
57
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:56.840
to the person on camera. Meanwhile, Savannah Guthrie is doing
58
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:02.080
what any daughter would do, fighting publicly, painfully. She's posted
59
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.479
at least nine videos on Instagram since her mother disappeared,
60
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.000
each one more heartbreaking than the last. The latest video,
61
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.759
posted late last week, speaks directly to whoever has her mother.
62
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.360
It is never too late to do the right thing,
63
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.560
she said. You're not lost or alone, and it is
64
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.800
never too late to do the right thing. Former FBI
65
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:27.839
crisis negotiator Kyle Vowinkle analyzed the video, said Savannah is
66
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.279
trying to give whoever took her mother a psychological off ramp,
67
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.000
an appeal to whatever shred of decency might still exist
68
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.480
in the person holding an eighty four year old woman.
69
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.160
Vowinkel said she's appealing to the isolation of the captor
70
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:43.920
while offering them a way to end this without making
71
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:50.160
it worse. Earlier videos humanized Nancy showed childhood photos, family
72
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:54.360
memories reminded whoever is watching that this is a real person,
73
00:04:54.920 --> 00:05:00.199
a mother, a grandmother, someone who matters to people. Later
74
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.839
videos pivoted to asking the public for help, asking anyone
75
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:07.920
who noticed anything strange around February first to contact law enforcement.
76
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.959
Three major challenges are complicating this investigation. First, Nancy's safety.
77
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:18.480
She's eighty four, has a pacemaker, needs daily medication. Every
78
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:23.160
day that passes without those medications increases the danger. Investigators
79
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:27.120
are operating blind on her condition and location. Second, the
80
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.000
sheer volume of leads. Tens of thousands of tips have
81
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.480
poured in. That sounds like good news, and it is,
82
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.319
but it also buries investigators in information that has to
83
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:43.079
be sorted, verified and pursued. Sometimes the most important tip
84
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.639
is buried under ten thousand useless ones. The only way
85
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.839
to find it is to go through every single one
86
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.480
third the fish bowl. This is the mother of one
87
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:58.240
of the most recognizable television journalists in America. Media attention
88
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:02.279
is enormous, public in interest is intense, and that makes
89
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.759
it incredibly difficult for investigators to hold back information that
90
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.240
needs to stay behind the curtain. Every detail that leaks
91
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:13.519
could compromise the investigation. Every press conference could tip off
92
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.759
whoever has Nancy. Investigators have not identified a leading motive.
93
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:22.879
They're looking at all possibilities, kidnapping for ransom, targeted attack,
94
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:27.759
random crime. Nothing has been ruled out. Nothing has been confirmed.
95
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.279
Nancy Guthrie is eighty four years old. She should be
96
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.040
watching her daughter on the Today Show, should be enjoying
97
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:37.399
her grandchildren, should be safe in her own home. Instead,
98
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.199
she's been missing for over two weeks, and her daughter
99
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.399
is on Instagram speaking into a camera begging a stranger
100
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.839
to show mercy. If you have any information about Nancy
101
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:52.360
Guthrie's disappearance, contact the FBI. Any detail, no matter how
102
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:56.480
small a car, You saw a person who seemed out
103
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.959
of place, something you overheard. It might be the tip
104
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.040
that brings her home. Someone has to say her name.
105
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:09.759
Nancy Guthrie, eighty four years old. Missing. We'll be right
106
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.120
back with Friday's guilty verdict in the Colt's Neck Mansion murders.
107
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.439
Paul Canero convicted of slaughtering his brother's entire family over
108
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:31.079
stolen money, then setting both homes on fire. Welcome back
109
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:36.759
to celebrity trials. I'm reed, Carter Friday, February thirteenth, Monmouth County,
110
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.199
New Jersey. After five hours of deliberation, a jury convicted
111
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.480
Paul Caniro of four counts of first degree murder, two
112
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.639
counts of aggravated arson, weapons charges, theft, and hindering his
113
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.959
own apprehension, guilty on everything. The victims Keith Caniro fifty,
114
00:07:54.480 --> 00:08:00.920
Jennifer Caniro forty five, Jesse Caniro eleven, Sophia Canaro row eight,
115
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:06.360
an entire family wiped out November twentieth, twenty eighteen, just
116
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:11.560
days before Thanksgiving. Coltsneck, New Jersey, wealthy community, horse country
117
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.680
sprawling estates Keith Canaro's mansion on Willowbrook Road. Fire trucks
118
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.399
responding to a blaze at the home around twelve thirty
119
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.439
in the afternoon. Keith was found in the front yard,
120
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.360
face down, shot once in the back, four times in
121
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.920
the head. Inside the burning house, Jennifer shot and stabbed.
122
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:34.559
Their children found on different levels of the home. Jesse
123
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:39.919
near the staircase, Sofia on the landing between floors, both stabbed.
124
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.480
Sofia had a stab wound to her left eye. She
125
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.279
was eight years old. And here's the detail that will
126
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.919
haunt you, Prosecutors said, the children were still alive when
127
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:54.039
the fire started. Smoke inhalation was a contributing factor in
128
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.759
their deaths. They survived the stabbing long enough to breathe
129
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.799
in the flames. Their uncles to cover his crimes. While
130
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.159
firefighters were still battling the Colt's neck blaze, police were
131
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.120
already at another scene, Paul Kaneiro's home in Ocean Township,
132
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.159
about thirty minutes away. A fire had started there around
133
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:17.000
five am that same morning. Paul, his wife, Susan, and
134
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:22.720
their two adult daughters escaped no injuries. Convenient, prosecutors said,
135
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:25.679
Paul set his own house on fire, first made it
136
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.720
look like the whole family was being targeted, then drove
137
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.919
to his brother's mansion, disabled the electrical service box and
138
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:36.759
turned off the backup generator to lure Keith outside. When
139
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.519
Keith came out to check why the power failed, Paul
140
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.279
shot him in the front yard, then went inside, killed Jennifer,
141
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:47.120
killed the children, set the house on fire, drove home.
142
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:51.559
The motive was money. Keith and Paul were business partners,
143
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:55.639
co owned Square One, a technology firm in Asbury Park,
144
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:59.480
and Eco Star, a pest control company. The Doris Duke
145
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.799
Foundation contract made up more than ninety percent of Square
146
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:07.039
One's revenue, and Paul was stealing from both companies. The
147
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:10.720
day before the murders, Keith discovered that premium payments for
148
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.360
his three million dollar Canada life insurance policy, held in
149
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.559
a trust with Paul as trustee, had never been reaching
150
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:22.240
the insurance company. Paul was pocketing them. Keith called Paul
151
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.480
that afternoon. Home security cameras recorded Keith's side of the conversation.
152
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.679
I need to know where the money went, Keith yelled,
153
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:35.080
gave Paul a deadline eight pm that night. Paul never responded.
154
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:40.200
Eight hours later, he started killing. Detective Debbie Bassenger from
155
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:45.519
the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office traced the finances. Found sixteen
156
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:50.279
transfers from Keith's trust account into Paul's personal account, no
157
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.399
payments going back. Bank statements Paul provided to the family
158
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.320
accountant had been altered compared to official records from the bank.
159
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.080
Paul was cooking the book looks and stealing from his
160
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:06.039
own brother. The evidence was overwhelming. Surveillance video showed Paul's
161
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:10.720
Porsche may Can, identifiable by its distinctive tail lights, leaving
162
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:14.120
his home and returning the mourning of the murders. Neighbors
163
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.639
heard gunshots. One neighbor testified he heard the shots and
164
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:22.759
thought someone just got whacked. A container found in Paul's
165
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.200
basement held clothing in a latex glove with blood consistent
166
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.240
with the victims. A nine millimeter unspent cartridge was found
167
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.480
in the clothes, same ammunition type used to kill Keith
168
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:38.639
and Jennifer. Paul's hands were injured. A fire marshal noticed burns.
169
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.240
Paul claimed he'd hit his hand on a door while evacuating.
170
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.799
Nobody believed him. The defense tried to point the finger
171
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.200
at a third Caniro brother, who was never investigated. Said
172
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.720
police developed tunnel vision, said two men were spotted near
173
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.120
Keith's home before first responders arrived. Prosecutors dismantled both theories.
174
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.919
The two men were first responders. The third brother wasn't
175
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.960
the one Keith called demanding answers about missing money the
176
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:08.679
night before he died. Paul Kniro rejected a plea deal
177
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:12.679
in twenty twenty four. Prosecutors offered life without parole in
178
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:18.240
exchange for guilty Please, he gambled on trial lost. Caniro
179
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.120
sat motionless as the jury foreman read the verdict. His
180
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:27.120
family cried, friends cried, He showed nothing. The judge had
181
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:32.039
him taken into custody immediately. Sentencing is May twelfth. He
182
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:36.000
faces multiple life sentences without the possibility of parole. His
183
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:39.080
defense team says they planned to pursue all available post
184
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:45.320
trial remedies translation appeals, but the evidence was overwhelming. Five
185
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.440
hours of deliberation for a case this complex tells you
186
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:51.759
everything about how the jury viewed it. Smart enough to
187
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:55.799
plan murder, sophisticated enough to tamper with electrical systems and
188
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:59.000
stage a cover up fire, too stupid to realize that
189
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:03.320
surveillance camera would catch his car, that bloodstained clothing hidden
190
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.039
in the basement would be found, and that altered bank
191
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:09.840
statements would be compared to originals. Keith Kniro was fifty
192
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.879
years old, business owner. Family man Jennifer was forty five. Wife, mother, Jesse,
193
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.960
was eleven. Sophia was eight. They were children, stabbed by
194
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.519
their uncle, left to die in a fire he set
195
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:27.960
days before Thanksgiving. All because Paul couldn't stop stealing, All
196
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:31.720
because Keith finally asked where the money went. All because
197
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.559
greed and desperation turned a brother into a monster. The
198
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.600
call is coming from inside the house, Keith, Jennifer, Jesse, Sophia.
199
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:45.279
Someone has to say your names coming up the opair
200
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.159
who helped murder her lover's wife gets the maximum sentence.
201
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:53.240
Judge tells Juliana Mogilhayas she deserves nothing but prison. Prosecutors
202
00:13:53.240 --> 00:14:08.200
wanted her to walk free. Welcome back to celebrity trials.
203
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:13.120
I'm reed, Carter. Also Friday, Fairfax County, Virginia, Chief Judge
204
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:17.840
Penny Askarat sentencing hearing for Juliana Paris Maggle Hays, the
205
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.399
twenty five year old Brazilian o pair who helped her
206
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:24.200
employer and lover, Brendan Banfield, murder his wife Christine and
207
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:29.200
an innocent stranger named Joseph Ryan. Prosecutors recommended time served.
208
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:33.639
Mogglehis had been in custody over two years. She'd cooperated,
209
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:38.039
testified at Banfield's trial helped secure the conviction. The deal
210
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:42.559
was plead guilty to manslaughter, testify against Banfield, walk free.
211
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:48.039
At sentencing, Judge Askarot had other ideas ten years maximum
212
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.279
sentence under the Plea agreement plus two years suspended. After that,
213
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:57.039
the judge looked at Magglhayes and said, your actions were deliberate,
214
00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:02.080
self serving, and demonstrated a found disregard for human life.
215
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.919
Let's get it straight. You do not deserve anything other
216
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.840
than incarceration and a life of reflection on what you
217
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:11.600
have done to the victim and his family. May it
218
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:17.159
weigh heavily on your soul. Prosecutors were stunned they'd made
219
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:22.240
the deal, recommended time served. The judge overruled them. Let
220
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:27.240
me remind you what happened. February twenty fourth, twenty twenty three, Herndon, Virginia,
221
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:32.799
the Banfield Home. Brendan Banfield was an IRS criminal investigator.
222
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.000
Christine Banfield was a pediatric intensive care nurse. They had
223
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.559
a four year old daughter and they had a no pair,
224
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.879
Juliana maglehis who arrived from Brazil and began a sexual
225
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:47.679
affair with Brendan. Within a year, the affair became serious.
226
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.240
Banfield wanted out of his marriage, but didn't want a divorce,
227
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:54.960
didn't want to split assets, didn't want to share custody,
228
00:15:55.639 --> 00:16:00.080
so he devised a plan. According to Magglhays's testimony, Banfield
229
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.240
used Christine's laptop to create a profile on fet Life,
230
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:08.679
a fetish dating website. The profile name Anastasia nine. Posing
231
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.480
as his wife, Banfield connected with Joseph Ryan, a stranger
232
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:16.000
who was interested in violent role play. They exchanged messages
233
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:19.679
for weeks arranged a meeting at the Banfield home. Ryan
234
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.279
was told to bring restraints, a knife, and lubricant. He
235
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.399
thought he was meeting a willing participant for consensual fantasy.
236
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:31.120
The morning of February twenty fourth, Banfield left for McDonald's.
237
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.000
Maggal high Has pretended to take the couple's four year
238
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.799
old to the zoo. Christine was home alone when Ryan arrived.
239
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.320
He went upstairs to the master bedroom brought exactly what
