This Journalist’s Dad Went Missing When She Was 12— She Tried Solving The Mystery 20 Years Later
4/12/2026
Kate Crane had what she described as a normal childhood growing up in Baltimore with her parents and sister — but that changed in an instant the day her father vanished. Eddy Crane, who owned a trucking business with his former best friend, always called home to say he was leaving work, and then he would show shortly after, like clockwork — until he never walked through the door again. Her father went missing when Kate was 12, but from the moment her mother told her on that September morning in 1987 her father didn’t come home, Kate felt in her bones he was dead. As the days turned into months, and eventually years, few questions were answered, and mentions of Eddy Crane and the investigation into what happened to him were fleeting. This tragedy loomed large over Kate’s life, but as the 20th anniversary of Eddy Crane’s disappearance neared, she felt that she had to do something. In 2007, she was a journalist in New York City, and began an investigation of her own to find the answers to questions that have haunted her since childhood. Kate Crane, author of ‘What Ever Happened To Eddy Crane,’ joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss her memoir.

This Is How The Nancy Guthrie Case Will Get Solved: Retired FBI Special Agent
4/11/2026
Follow Forbes True Crime The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie has stretched into its second month. The mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie went missing from her Tucson home over 60 days ago. Authorities know that her doorbell camera was disconnected in the early hours of February 1st, and 41 minutes later, her pacemaker app was disconnected from her phone. Ten days into her disappearance, authorities seemed to catch a break when recovered Google Nest footage showed what appeared to be an armed and masked suspect outside of her door the morning of her disappearance, tampering with the doorbell camera. But over 60 days since Nancy Guthrie disappeared, she still hasn’t been found and no suspects have publicly been named. Dr. Raymond Carr, a retired FBI Special Agent, joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the status of the case.
