## Resource

Thirty-four verified crypto kidnappings in four months. A 41 percent increase. Roughly $101 million in losses. Handlers overseas directing disposable operatives through encrypted apps to force their way into homes and extract digital currency. The model has a name — a wrench attack — and a blockchain security firm has put Nancy Guthrie’s case on its official list. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke for a detailed examination of the crypto kidnapping theory. She’s been the most prominent expert voice connecting this model to Nancy’s disappearance and has said publicly it “checks a lot of boxes.” But this conversation puts the theory through questions it hasn’t faced. Why is Nancy on the list when no crypto trail connects her family to a targeting pipeline? Why does the person at her door look nothing like the Scottsdale operatives who showed up in FedEx uniforms the day before? If the crypto ransom demands came from opportunists and not the people who took her, does the classification hold? Robin Dreeke applies behavioral analysis to the wrench attack operative profile and what the doorbell camera evidence does — and doesn’t — match.
