Sheriff’s Department Denies Car Seizure, Names Suspect in Guthrie Family Kidnapping (Image: File)
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has clarified that there is no suspect or person of interest in the kidnapping of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, directly refuting online reports about her daughter Annie Guthrie and son-in-law Tommaso Cioni. Authorities also disputed a claim that Annie Guthrie’s car was seized as part of the investigation.
The update aims to correct speculation surrounding the family of TODAY show co-host Savannah Guthrie, whose mother, Nancy, was reported missing on Sunday after failing to attend church. Investigators stated they are awaiting forensic results and are in contact with anyone who had contact with Nancy, including family members.
Who Is Involved in the Investigation?
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on Saturday night having dinner with her daughter, Annie Guthrie. Annie was the last known person to see her mother. Annie is married to Tommaso Cioni; the couple wed in 2006 and have one child. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department stated explicitly that Cioni is not a person of interest but that detectives have likely spoken with him as someone who may have had contact with Nancy.
Was Annie Guthrie’s Car Seized by Police?
Authorities directly disputed a report from independent journalist Ashleigh Banfield that claimed Annie Guthrie’s car was seized. “We are not confirming the car being seized, we are unsure where that reporter is getting that information,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Department told TMZ. Banfield, a former NewsNation host, had also reported that Cioni might be a suspect, a claim the sheriff’s department also refuted.
What Is the Latest on the Search for Nancy Guthrie?
Investigators believe Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped in the middle of the night and say time is of the essence due to her age and poor health, which requires daily medication. The sheriff’s department is now working with the FBI to assess the authenticity of an alleged ransom note sent to TMZ demanding money for her release. Official updates state detectives continue to speak with potential contacts and are “awaiting additional forensic results.”
How Has the Family Reacted?
Public statements from Annie Guthrie about her husband, from a 2013 article, described Tommaso Cioni as her “greatest teacher” and a “great manifester.” The family has not released a new statement following the police update. The investigation remains focused on locating Nancy Guthrie.
