Nancy Guthrie: FBI Spy Recruiter on Why Key Witnesses Stay Silent

Nancy Guthrie: FBI Spy Recruiter on Why Key Witnesses Stay Silent

Eighteen thousand tips. But someone out there still hasn't called.

A neighbor who saw something. A coworker who's noticed something off. A family member protecting someone. A friend who heard something and told themselves it was nothing. The tip that breaks the Nancy Guthrie case is probably sitting in someone's head right now — and they haven't made the call.

Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke spent his career getting people to talk. He served as Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He recruited spies. He built trust with people who had every reason to stay silent. He knows why people hold back — and what finally opens them up.

In this interview, Dreeke breaks down witness psychology. The different reasons people don't call. The person who doesn't realize what they know is important. The person scared of the spotlight. The person protecting someone they love. Each barrier is different. Each requires a different approach.

What makes someone finally break their silence? What tips the scale from protection to confession? How do investigators reach the person who has information but hasn't connected it to this case?

Dreeke speaks directly to whoever's out there with a piece of this puzzle. What would it take to get them to call today?
