    Nancy Guthrie abduction: Are we any closer to knowing what really happened? (edited)

    The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie escalates. Just hours after Savannah Guthrie issued a public plea, the FBI released disturbing doorbell footage showing a masked, armed suspect disabling Nancy’s camera the night she disappeared. Overnight, a man detained near the Mexican border in connection with the case was released after authorities carried out a court-ordered search of the property where he had been staying in Rio Rico, Arizona. Federal officials say they are reviewing multiple persons of interest. Meanwhile, a Bitcoin account referenced in alleged ransom letters showed minor activity after a $6 million deadline passed. So what does this latest turn mean? Was the detention a real lead — or a dead end? And what does the suspect’s behavior on camera reveal? Kayla Brantley is joined by retired homicide detective Chris McDonough to break down the latest developments and what could come next.

    The Mysterious Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie

    In this episode of The Trial USA, we bring you everything we know so far about the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, who police say was abducted from her home in the middle of the night.  Investigators have confirmed forced entry and blood at the scene, and say this is now being treated as a crime. We speak to senior investigative reporter Steve Helling, who has been covering the case all week, about the timeline, the evidence, the alleged ransom note sent to TMZ - and what police believe may have happened. We then bring you an update on a case we previously covered in depth: Brendan Banfield, the former IRS agent accused of orchestrating his wife’s murder and killing a stranger as part of an elaborate cover-up. A Virginia jury has now found Banfield guilty on all major counts, and we break down the verdict, the prosecution’s case, and what happens next. And finally, we cover the stunning new charge involving Jill Biden’s ex-husband, who has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his wife in Delaware.

  3. Ellen Greenberg: Fifteen Years of Questions

    Ellen Greenberg: Fifteen Years of Questions

    In this special episode of The Trial: USA, we examine one of the most hotly contested death investigations in recent history - the case of Ellen Greenberg. Ellen was a 27-year-old teacher from Philadelphia who was found dead in her apartment in 2011, having suffered twenty stab wounds - many to the back of her head. Despite the circumstances, her death was ruled a suicide. That conclusion has been questioned for more than a decade. Ellen’s case has since become a defining story within the true-crime genre, inspiring countless podcasts, a book-length investigation by Nancy Grace, and widespread public scrutiny over how suspicious deaths are investigated - and how law enforcement is held to account. In this episode, we begin by hearing directly from Ellen’s parents, Joshua Greenberg and Sandee Greenberg, in an interview conducted by senior reporter Laura Collins, who has covered the case for nearly fifteen years. They speak about who Ellen was, the unanswered questions surrounding her death, and the impact of the suicide ruling on their family.

After years of being ruled a suicide, federal prosecutors are now moving to reopen the case, reigniting questions that have haunted her family for more than a decade.

    The Maduro Case: Power, Prosecution, and a President in Chains

    The Trial: USA breaks down the criminal cases dominating American courtrooms — and the national conversation. In this episode, we focus on the capture and prosecution of former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, following a covert U.S. operation that stunned the world.

We also cover key developments in the Nick Reiner double-murder case and the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis, as 2026 begins with major legal questions around accountability and power.

    America in shock at Rob Reiner murder and Brown University killer found dead

    In Los Angeles, Nick Reiner, the son of filmmaker Rob Reiner, has appeared in court accused of killing both of his parents inside their Brentwood home. Prosecutors are laying out what they say was a brutal attack, as investigators examine warning signs, family dynamics, and whether the death penalty could be in play. We also bring you a major update from Brown University, where police say the suspect in last week’s campus shooting has been found dead after a multi-state manhunt. We walk through the timeline — from the shooting during finals week to the killing of an MIT professor days later — and the unanswered question at the center of the case: why. And a significant verdict in Massachusetts. Brian Walshe has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for murdering his wife, Ana Walshe, nearly three years after she vanished.
