Linguist Analyzes The Black Box Audio From American Flight 11

Twenty-five years after September 11, questions remain about what U.S. intelligence agencies knew before the attacks—and why critical information may never have reached the investigators who needed it. Ray Carr and James R. Fitzgerald examine the unsealed sworn declaration of Military Commissions defense investigator Donald Canestraro and its explosive allegations surrounding pre-9/11 intelligence. The discussion examines CIA Alec Station, hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, their time in San Diego, Operation Encore, alleged Saudi connections, and testimony from former FBI investigators who believe crucial intelligence was withheld or suppressed. Ray and Fitz also explore the difference between bureaucratic failure, deceptive omission, and active obstruction—and ask the question that remains 25 years later: Was this simply an intelligence failure, or was critical information deliberately kept from investigators? This is Part 1 of Cold Red’s investigation into the Canestraro Declaration. Subscribe to Cold Red Podcast and visit coldredpodcast.com for more.

The One Detail in Nancy Guthrie's Ransom Letters the FBI Can't Ignore

Nancy Guthrie's ransom letters have been picked apart by armchair detectives for weeks — but what does the language actually reveal? On this episode of Cold Red, retired FBI Special Agent Ray Carr and former FBI Supervisory Special Agent and criminal profiler James Fitzgerald — the same forensic linguist whose work helped identify the Unabomber — break down the ransom letters line by line using real forensic linguistics and behavioral analysis techniques. Is this the work of one person, or does the evidence point to multiple authors? Fitz and Ray walk through word choice, sentence structure, and behavioral markers the way the FBI actually analyzes questioned documents in an active investigation — not speculation, not theory-crafting, but the real tradecraft behind identifying who's really behind the letters. If you want to understand how investigators actually read a letter like this, this is the episode. 🔴 New episodes every week.
