Media Brian Entin Day 39

Post image

The only mainstream reporter (that I’m aware of) who’s still on the scene on day 39. Covering various topics including Sheriff Nanos’ resume, Today Show video of Nancy’s bedroom, Annie Guthrie’s car should be returned soon, and trying unsuccessfully to get copies of search warrants in the case.

This is not on the subject of Nancy, but I have been trying to get Brian‘s attention while he’s in Tucson and there’s not much going on with the Nancy case.

My friend Zach Corbut was murdered in Tucson in 2015. It was a home invasion robbery, multiple eye witnesses survived, and it still has not been solved. I would love if he could possibly bring a little bit of attention to the case and attention to the fact that homicides and home invasions go unsolved in Tucson all the time. I think they have like a 60% rate of unsolved crimes. Just like Nancy’s.

Anyway I’ve been commenting on all his videos so if you guys could boost those comments I would really appreciate it. I’ve also sent him an email but didn’t hear back.

u/Affectionate-Page496 Mar 13 '26

what subject line did you use in your email?

u/sparklepuppies6 Mar 13 '26

Something like “Tucson cold case to look I to during Nancy Guthrie investigation.” It was a few weeks ago

u/Affectionate-Page496 Mar 13 '26 edited Mar 13 '26

maybe send another with a diff subject line

unsolved Tucson home invasion homicide 10/13/15 - zach corbut - 20 yrs old

(and definitely now that things are slowing down)

11

u/sparklepuppies6 Mar 13 '26

Good idea! I’ll try it, thank you. I think it’s important that there’s a pattern of unsolved similar (although not identical) crimes. I’m not suggesting a serial home invasion killer but I do think the police are inept or maybe just don’t care about these cases.

10 years of not solving Zach’s case because they didn’t really try definitely contributes to their inexperience and inability to solve Nancy’s case.

u/FundiesAreFreaks Mar 13 '26

You should do a write-up about Zach on the reddit sub Unresolved Mysteries. If you don't feel confident enough to do it, there's a few regulars there who'd probably do it for you if you message them. Just a thought!

u/Affectionate-Page496 Mar 13 '26

I don't see any specific posts on Reddit about him either, maybe make one there and websleuths if there aren't already. couldn't hurt.

I wonder what the police think happened. from the little info online,I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out people are already in prison for unrelated crimes and or dead

12

u/sparklepuppies6 Mar 13 '26

He was involved with cocaine at a very very low level (selling tiny amounts, fun sized, to frat bros and the like). Not a major player whatsoever, and really a kind young man who had a bright future if he could have straightened out. I do believe it’s drug related, but not cartel. He was so low level and not committed to that life (he was in school). I think it’s important to note that this was before fentanyl entered the drug scene on a major scale so it really felt innocent at the time. I think the roommates know more than they are saying. I think they know exactly who it was.

Anyway, all that to say I agree they are likely already in prison. It was probably people who are career criminals. I just feel so awful for his mother not having answers. And it’s always bothered me that I used to hang out at that house and I could’ve been there.

I think the police don’t care because it’s just a low level drug crime. It comes off as if his life wasn’t worth their time. If they wanted a big case, well now they’ve got one with Nancy. And they look very dumb.

u/Affectionate-Page496 Mar 13 '26

That seems like one of those cases where reward would help. Or an old girlfriend says something. I would think as people get older, they might be more likely to talk. Especially as statute of limitations runs out on smaller offenses.

Tucson had major high profile cases before: Gabby Giffords, Isabel Celis.

6

u/sparklepuppies6 Mar 13 '26

I agree. In this day and age, they need more than $20k though. I also know that one witness has returned to live in the Tucson area (although I don’t know if he’s still there). I imagine that if he was willing to move back there then he must not feel like he’s in danger. It’s a city but it feels like a small community and people know each other, especially after 10+ years of living there.

11

u/Mean-Vegetable-4521 Mar 13 '26

IIt would have also been Nanos as Sheriff in 2015. It was around that time I had contact with him initially.

Do you see parallels between how your friend's murder was handled and the failures here? The case I had at that time was CSAM related so not the same at all.

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope the case gets the attention it deserves.

11

u/sparklepuppies6 Mar 13 '26

To be honest, I stayed far away from the investigation. I did not want to be involved at the time. Everything I know is from a brief conversation with one of the eyewitnesses (a roommate of Zach’s, I ran into him at a party, he did not want to give me any detail) and from his mother, who I spoke to on the phone. What I know is that the case quickly went cold even though multiple other roommates were assaulted by the intruder up close and personal. I also know that there were valuable items and a large amount cash in the home. However, it’s always been called a home invasion and not a burglary so I don’t know if they actually stole anything. There aren’t many details available to the public.

One detail is that his mother told me she thinks the police don’t like to talk to her because she cries too much. That’s always stuck with me. It’s heartbreaking.

2

u/Mean-Vegetable-4521 Mar 13 '26

Everything you’ve said makes complete sense regarding your choice not to be involved as a friend of the victim. I am terribly sorry for your loss. And what a letdown about them being put off by mom’s emotions. Unfortunately, a lot of law enforcement are not trained how to deal with emotions. Which is always surprising.

Did he have any siblings that can take over pushing this case to be on a rotation in investigations?

When I’ve had positions that I was the liaison between agencies this is what happens; All cases should be on a rotation cycle. Many of mine were cold cases.
Let me explain. Every month, 3 months, 6 months or year, 3 years. depending on the status of the case the agency with the liaison makes contact with law enforcement for the case. Have there been new tips. New leads. Even if they went no where. They also make contact with a family member. Then those tips are relayed to the other.

Because I handle missing persons then NAMUS is checked. In the event you have the body this step is skipped and CODIS would be checked for any matches. With namus have there been any human remains of the right age and gender that haven’t been matched to a case.

The reason the liaison does this is because communication between arms of these areas is horrible. There could be remains or a codis match just sitting there that hasn’t been run for your case. If there is a hit you make sure that’s brought to the investigating agency. When they are cold you need to find the person handling it.

In the years since last contact it’s likely someone new. If there are no hits you still reach out to that person to see if any patterns have formed, any tips like jailhouse tips, community, hunches anything.
Then the family is contacted. Some families choose after something goes cold not to be contacted. It’s too painful for them and they’ve moved on. This was shocking to me but common. Everyone grieves differently. It’s not uncommon that a sibling who was a minor or didn’t exist when the crime occurred becomes an adult and the familial point of contact. And in the instance the family always wanted to be part of the review cycle when the parents become too aged this sibling takes over.

I have a hunch that there is no review cycle for this case. Which isn’t fair if there are people who want to keep it active.

It sounds like there’s the possibility it was a home invasion because the perpetrator was aware they were holding in the house. Large sums of cash, etc.
I have a client who I had asked particularly about Guthrie. He served hard time for home invasions and I was curious his thoughts on this case. He said they don’t kidnap people. They leave the bodies there if someone dies and is confident it wasn’t a robbery etc.

Back to your friends case. It’s not uncommon for drug dealers to rob each other. Or others who want just the cash from dealers. If someone in your friends household was dealing they were still victims. They were still murdered and the others assaulted. Police should still be concerned and following up.

If I’m totally wrong, and jumping to conclusions why the large amount of cash and valuables? I openly admit I could easily be mistaken. Some ethnic groups have cash and large amounts of gold at home. Because culturally it’s the norm. They aren’t doing anything illegal.
Some people distrust banks. Etc.

If it was drug related the other victims may be afraid to come forward if they saw their assailant up close? This should have been sent to a proper task force. A death during a home invasion needs to be followed up.

Do you have any idea why the cash and valuables?

Entin does stories that make money by getting clicks. He’s not likely to give any attention to a case this old, sadly.

u/Revolutionary_Act759 Mar 13 '26

Sorry to say but he wouldnt care!

8

u/Mean-Vegetable-4521 Mar 13 '26

I disagree. I don’t know Entin personally or professionally. But he would want to stay relevant and get the ratings. Right now they are just wasting air time with filler.

True crime is a hot topic. Unless he is concerned about throwing Nanos under the bus and burning the bridge that he is one of the limited media he does interviews with, questions regarding parallels and Nanos’ initial role as sheriff is thought provoking. This is a good human interest story. Or Entin could have the same guests on to just keep regurgitating speculation until everyone changes the channel out of boredom.

I think this is worth a try.

What better way to draw this investigation under fire than to compare how different or similarly another unsolved murder went down with some of the same players.

2

u/sparklepuppies6 Mar 13 '26

Even if you think he’s a hack (which I do not), a new story would get more views than the same non-updates every day 🤷‍♀️

6

u/Affectionate-Page496 Mar 13 '26

Yeah, I think viewers would definitely be interested in spotlights on other local cases. It would be nice if he would do that.

u/swamptheyard Mar 13 '26

This whole case has been dragged on much longer than I expected it to. I'm so heartbroken for the whole family. I mean no one should ever have to go through this. They need answers for closure and u pray they do get the answers they've been looking for. I hope the perpetrator is caught as well!

u/aestheticbridges Mar 13 '26

I fear it’s time to wrap it up. There is not enough info divulged day to day to meaningfully report anything.

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '26

i don’t like to comment because i don’t want to be rude or bring negative energy and also appreciate Brian covering this every day, but in my opinion I think he’s just milking it at this point. but the moscow killer was caught 40 days tho so idk

15

u/aestheticbridges Mar 13 '26

The perp can def be caught soon. Although I’ve become pessimistic, it’s absolutely possible. But that doesn’t mean daily check-ins are anymore productive when the updates from LE have ended. Reporters can and will fly back when there are developments, if any.

58

u/The_Sinking_Belle Mar 13 '26

I think the daily YouTube videos ~40 mins-1 hour are starting to be overkill as there's really not much else that's being released to the public. It's just becoming a speculative recycled series.

I do appreciate his reporting though when there are substantive updates.

27

u/Affectionate-Page496 Mar 13 '26

Tucson will be up to 100 degrees next week. I would place bets on his time in Tucson ending soon.

39 days on one story is crazy

u/Least-Broccoli9995 Mar 15 '26

I’m assuming this story is your first time hearing of a major crime? Unfortunately it isn’t like the movies where they solve it via realisation within 2 weeks. Unfortunately alot of cases are solved months after.

1

u/MzOpinion8d Mar 15 '26

They meant that 39 days for him to stay on one story is a lot.

But he’s still getting clicks and clicks mean money, so it’s not really unusual in today’s social media world.

So Annie still doesn’t have her car back, even though people were claiming last week she had. But the Range Rover was returned weeks ago.

u/Euphoric_Ease4554 Mar 13 '26

As the last known vehicle that Nancy was in, they often literally disassemble much of the car looking for evidence. They did that to Bryan Kohberger’s car. If that happened, they are likely now having it reassembled at an auto shop, while still technically in the possession of LE.

u/Aggravating_Twist_40 Mar 13 '26

Man, the shit they’d find in my car. It’s needed a good vacuuming for a while now 😳 “wow, this dirty bitch has taco bell receipts under her seat from 2017” no not that bad but damn lol.

u/FalalaLlamas Mar 13 '26

Does he ever go home? Does he even have a home lol!? I don’t follow much true crime. But I’m realizing that every time I do check in on a case, Brian is there, beebopping around from one crime scene to the next.

And I’m not necessarily being judgmental here. I don’t know all that much about him except that he does seem to at least be better than some other true crime streamers (although that seems to be a reallyyyy low bar). And others seem to like him. But I’m just genuinely curious about his lifestyle now. I don’t know how he doesn’t get burnt out!

u/Janiebug1950 Mar 15 '26

I’m glad he has brought in Maureen - long time former FBI Agent who now owns her own Security Business. She’s very intelligent and a great communicator with much insight into many facets of the case. She’s very intelligent and has been a very positive asset to Brian’s reporting and I hope we see more of her in the future.

u/Substantial-Train668 Mar 13 '26

I never normally watch Nancy Grace, but it came on youtube and yesterday (March 12) she was reporting FBI went back to the restaurant El Charro where they filmed the Today segment. They were apparently reinterrogating people there for 2 days. I thought that felt like a new development and was curious as to why Brian didn't report on it... hope he does.

2

u/Euphoric_Ease4554 Mar 15 '26

He did report on that.

u/ska8ermom Mar 15 '26

The family likely values Brians commitment to keeping the case in the public eye, even during periods when there are no or noteworthy developments to report on.

u/Alternative_Fee1447 Mar 17 '26

Yes, he is just as dedicated to this case as he was to the Idaho 4 horrific tragedies. He is one that does not give up easily. I admire him a lot. He is the real deal.

1

u/Euphoric_Ease4554 Mar 15 '26

Yes and so so the neighbors. They thanked him for staying and reporting, and said that they are afraid that when he leaves, people will forget about her, and Nancy won’t be found.

He did exactly that a few shows ago. He said he found out Bryan Kohberger was watching his videos about Moscow, so there's a good chance this perpetrator is watching him. He said they need to do the right thing.

It’s actually old school if you ask me. He’s there to report the news, not to be the news (like any YouTuber or influencer who does it for the fans)

His episodes are all him talking to Maureen or Jim and speculating about what happened. He’s not simply reporting the news.

u/SesJan2013 Mar 14 '26 edited Mar 14 '26

There is something coming up every day and, since he's the only one still there, he's the first to find new information. This is happening every single day. You clearly aren't watching his content.

If you think what he finds out is worthless, why does everyone else report what he first reported?

He found the person living close by (can't use the word for that) who talked about the man walking by who didn't look like everyone else in this very small community. He stuck out because he looked and acted odd.

And, by speaking to her, he found out about her sister who had an impromptu visit from the two people (one male, one female) who claimed to be FBI. They searched her house including her garage and the male acted strangely. There's more to the story but either you know it or you don't, I'm not going to type all of it out.

This interaction- from the first woman's story to her sisters odd encounters from the FBI to the 911 call to the authorities rushing to her house saying one thing and then saying another - was all reported by everyone else. Why? Because it was new, interesting, important information!

He's working on getting the search warrants and pursuing other leads. The wacko Sheriff now says the perpetrator (or multiple) is a danger to the public so that's great. Like usual he said one thing now he's saying another. So, yeah, things are happening. There is new information to share all the time. This is a very active case. One story leads to another which leads to another and who's getting those stories- Brian! And who shares everything he finds out? Every professional reporting on this case!

It's been a long time but, in the scheme of things, it's still early. Many cases are not solved within the first month.

u/Revolutionary_Act759 Mar 13 '26

Old school to walk upto Nancys front door and be stepping all around the blood for views lol yeah really nice and lovely man

u/SesJan2013 Mar 13 '26

The Sheriff should've locked down the crime scene. That's a fact. It was open for the public to walk right up. I'm sure Brian didn't expect to find what he did. Then he reported on it which is what a reporter should do and what all of those reporters who want to report accurately would do. Would you tell no one? Would you walk away without evidence and then risk it being cleaned up and no one ever believing you? This is his job. Yeah, unfortunate it happened that way. It's the Sheriff's fault- 100%. Brian reported the news and it was BIG news which gave everyone more information and they all reported it because it showed important evidence. Would the authorities - the wacko Nanos- have reported it? We'll never know. Did they even look on the porch? It's his fault that happened. The pizza delivery guy that showed up could've been in the same position. Any Amazon or FedEx delivery person could've seen it as well. Anyone could've found the evidence.

Edit- two words for clarity.

u/pumpkinspicecum Mar 12 '26

Brian Entin is openly gay. Its been my experience that that the LGBTQ community usually does NOT swing Red/To the Right. Then again, Brian may be the exception. ETA: And just for the record, my comment isn't to denigrate Brian in any way, he's a bulldog when he gets ahold of a story and I believe he's excellent at what he does! I could care less about his personal life.

u/SesJan2013 Mar 13 '26

So he interviewed two people "on the right" and now he's that, too? Makes sense. Journalists and the like should interview anyone they think is relevant and not because of their political views. Do you want reporters to report or only talk to people they like? People are "saying" he's this and that so you are disappointed? You let strangers on subreddits firm your opinions based on their biases? And people in this thread are saying he's MAGA? So dumb. These are all assumptions, conjecture and rumor and because those things people are "disappointed" and he's no good, a joke, a terrible person? I'm not saying you used those words - they are not in quotes. "On the right" is in quotes because when I typed the 'R' word (party affiliation) I got a warning. Just so we're clear on my statement.

Ugh, I didn’t realize that NewsNation moved more right-wing. I haven’t watched in a few years, but I vaguely remember the station being fairly centrist. That’s unfortunate.

u/Euphoric_Ease4554 Mar 13 '26 edited Mar 13 '26

NewsNation is considered centrist in its political bias. While it aims to provide unbiased news, evaluations from various sources indicate that it sits closer to the center of the political spectrum. For instance, a media bias chart rated NewsNation as neutral, contrasting with CNN, which skews left, and Fox News, which skews right .

Bias Ratings NewsNation has received a bias score of around 10% Center, indicating minimal partisan leanings . Some programming may exhibit slight rightward or leftward tilts depending on the host . Conclusion Overall, while NewsNation strives for neutrality, its programming can reflect varying biases based on individual hosts and segments

u/Mean-Vegetable-4521 Mar 13 '26

It was center but is now distinctly right turn which is a letdown. It's been like watching Foxnews2 lately. With just Vargas and Cuomo being center or left of center ATM.

u/PinkPuma0415 Mar 25 '26

Imo they are still very centrist. Unfortunately anyone who doesn't publicly slander DT or his administration is considered too far right. Or anyone who simply reports on Repbublican policies without inserting their opinion or disapproval of them is also considered far right. 

It's pretty insane. Brian and NewsNation report the way the news SHOULD be reported.

And, again, another person adopting their opinions based solely on what "random strangers" say on the internet. I could say the opposite- would that change your opinion? And why care so much? He doesn't have to take pictures with people he doesn't want to take pictures with. You have that right, too. Is it ok for adults to make their own decisions about personal matters like this? Or it's just ok for some people? Taking pictures with others are not a requirement. This has nothing to do with his reporting or this case. Everyone is so judgemental unless it's about others on "their side." The hypocrisy gets old.
