Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s show, we’re joined by Mary Ellen O’Toole, a former FBI senior profiler and professor of forensic science, who discusses the latest developments in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie and how profilers aid in the search for missing people.
Then, we talk with Dr. Marianne Cusick, a colorectal surgeon at UTHealth Houston, who provides insight into colorectal cancer, risks to be aware of, and why rates are increasing among people younger than the age of 50.

And, as always, Ernie, Celeste, and Frank discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including the passing of civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth joins in at the top of the show to answer questions about early voting for the 2026 primaries, which begins today.
