LIVE: FBI Expert Robin Dreeke on the Danger of Millions Playing Detective
Description
What happens when the whole country becomes an investigation unit?
Eighteen thousand tips. Every family video dissected. Body language analyzed by millions of people who've never interviewed a witness or worked a case. The Nancy Guthrie investigation isn't just being run by the FBI — it's being judged in real time by an audience that thinks watching true crime makes them experts.
Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us live. He ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He spent his career learning how to actually read people — not from videos on social media, but through years of training and real-world application. Tonight he explains what mass observation does to a case like this.
What happens when the family knows millions are watching their every word? Why self-consciousness makes innocent people look guilty. How investigators sort through thousands of tips from amateur analysts who are certain they've cracked the case. And what the perpetrator is experiencing right now, watching themselves be dissected by strangers.
The public thinks it's helping. Dreeke explains when it does — and when it makes everything worse.
