Three FBI sources. Same day. Three different answers about whether the ransom notes in this case are real. Reuters was told every note is fabricated. The Phoenix field office said some may be…
Jennifer CoffindafferGuestTony BruschiHostRobin DreekeHostAnd two days ago, former FBI agent went on camera and said out loud what nobody in an official capacity has been willing to say.
Is Steve Wright, is this case completely cold, as he said to Brian Anton the other day, Jen? Has the train derailed? Robin, how about you? What's your take on it? Do you think that this case is completely cold? We have not had any sort of updates in any sort of official capacity.
That doesn't necessarily mean there's not things going on in the background, though.
Yeah, anytime you see a former agent saying it's completely cold or not cold, that they aren't currently in, I always approach that with a good dose of maybe.
But at the same time, though, I'm leaning towards there's not a lot of momentum is a good way to put it.
And that's why we're in a real gray area of we think there's something going on, like research in certain areas or not, but on the large-scale investigation, there's not a lot to be done right now, I wouldn't think, because who else are you going to interview? So if you look at it, what else— could be going on.
Digital forensic analysis, well, if we're not getting any new things in, then there's nothing more to investigate there.
If there's no new leads on people calling in tips or anything, then there's no more people to interview there.
Again, it's hard to judge it because if we're not seeing it in the public venue, then is there more going on? I personally don't think there's a whole lot going on.
Do I think it's cold? No, but do I think there's a lot of momentum? Definitely not.
If there was things going on behind the scenes, if there was momentum, if there was, you know, traction being made and the plow is being moved down the field, like Jeremy Clarkson on the farm.
That's a good one, isn't it? What would we be seeing right now in the public? Would we be seeing anything? Obviously, the FBI, they're going to keep everything very close to the vest until anything actually comes out.
