American broadcast journalist and Today Show host, Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing from her Tucson, Arizona home since February 1, 2026. After initial investigation, the Pima County Sheriff's Department transitioned the 84-year-old Nancy's missing-persons case to a criminal investigation, alleging kidnapping. Recent reports suggested that Tommaso Cioni, the husband of Nancy's daughter, Annie Guthrie, was being investigated in relation to the case. Amid that, Tommaso's alleged power of attorney documents surfaced online.

The alleged information about Tommaso raised eyebrows among some, who wondered whether he made the move to pin the blame for some real-estate-related fraud on his wife, Annie. "Some people want to blow off the power of attorney as a simple real-estate transaction, but what if some kind of disagreement came up about real estate investments, transactions? I don't dismiss anything," a concerned X user wrote. People have already made up a negative impression of Tommaso since journalist Ashleigh Banfield named him a suspect in Nancy Guthrie's kidnapping, leading to the wariness regarding the surfaced document.

Is Tommaso Cioni's power of attorney document linked to Nancy Guthrie's kidnapping?

Some netizens suspect Tommaso Cioni's power of attorney to have something to do with the recent allegations of his involvement in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. Their views are primarily shaped by the timing of the document's surfacing. However, official sources and legal experts have clarified that the document is not linked to the criminal investigation. Even some online users defended Tommaso saying, "He named Annie as his agent for purposes of the listed property only. It is very common and used all the time in real estate and other transactions." Another wrote, "No big deal. This was just used for a mortgage loan closing between him and Annie. They are used all the time when one party can't attend the loan closing."

Tommaso Cioni's bandmate, Dominic Evans, is under the spotlight amid Nancy Guthrie's disappearance

Dominic Aaron Lee Evans, a bandmate and close friend of Tommaso Cioni, has come under public scrutiny after Nancy Guthrie's son-in-law was allegedly involved in her disappearance. Tommaso and Dominic are members of the band, Early Black, which was formed alongwith Walter I. Goncalves, Jr. Dominic is currently making it to online discussions due to his past criminal record. Following journalist, Ashleigh Banfield's claims that Tommaso may be a "prime suspect" in Savannah's mother's kidnapping, social media users began calling for those in his "inner circle" to be vetted, specifically naming Dominic Evans.

An X (formerly Twitter) user, @JLRINVESTIGATES shared a screenshot which included the crime record of Dominic Aaron. It showcased felony charges of burglary, robbery, theft, and embezzlement levied against the Early Black member. The source of the information was attributed to the Az Pima Court. His crimes and his close ties with Tommaso Cioni, an alleged suspect of Nancy's kidnapping, brought unwanted attention to him. Notably, both men are based in the Tucson, Arizona, area, near where Nancy Guthrie resided, putting them under suspicion. The post calling out Dominic could be read as:
