They're scared to go straight to law enforcement.

So TMZ's Harvey Levin offered the person writing this note a little deal.

He said, you can tell us who Nancy's kidnappers are and we'll tell law enforcement, but we just need to confirm that you are legit.

So if you're legit, come forward and we'll make sure you get the money.

It just seems unlikely because there's been no proof of life at all that this is going to lead to whoever has Nancy Guthrie.

FBI, they're the ones looking into all this and really playing a pivotal role in this investigation.

That's why I was so excited to bring in Chris Hinkle, the former supervisory special agent with the FBI.

He is going to break down the DNA evidence that is being collected right now.

plus go into his theory of what actually happened the night Nancy vanished.

And we're going to get into why he thinks there are so many conflicting reports surrounding this case.

Chris, thank you so much for joining us.

Okay, based on what we know, what kind of crime do you think took place?

So if the glove went to Quantico, there'd be a faster result.

And then is there another delay potentially if this profile is put in CODIS and it turns up nothing, then the FBI has to go down the genealogy trail?

I know people have been frustrated with these narratives coming out.

One thing's being said, the sheriff says that's not the case.

The FBI says that's not the case.

And one thing that Hinkle and I agreed on is if there were press conferences, if there were media briefings where the people running this investigation would say what is happening, and we're not saying reveal anything.

the secrets of what's going on, anything that would harm the investigation, but simply provide more clarity on the matter, there wouldn't be all these rumors flying around.

Hinkle said it best.
