Jennifer CoffindafferGuestRobin DreekeHostWho do you think would be more coherent and competent? Nancy Guthrie after a frying pan to the head being pulled out of her house? Or Sheriff Nanos on a Tuesday saying things
I think Nancy could probably deliver a more coherent, competent statement than Nanos after while coughing up blood being drug out of her home than Nanos on a Tuesday.
I'm not trying to be funny, but I mean, it is it's darkly comical in a way of just how fucking bad Nanos is.
um literally saying um to cbs i don't have any note indicating that she's dead a day before the department releases that exact note saying that she's dead

This is the biggest damn case in the country probably right now that's active in terms of attention.
I know that was like a big thing at the beginning that he had to say aloud that I'm not used to people listening to me.
What the hell is going on in this man's mind, Robin? I mean, it's all conjecture here, but I mean, I'm not aware of any note.

I mean, there hasn't been a case we've ever covered or I've ever researched because I did this when we were starting Covered Nanos.
I said, you know, when you do the research, is there ever someone that's the front man, the sheriff, the chief, or, you know, the colonel in charge of state police, whatever it is, has there ever been a front man or woman out in front on the first day something major like this breaks that everyone says, that was a great job? No, they all stumble.
They all fall down because you never know what the impact of your words is going to be.
