Public interest regarding Tommaso Cioni heightened after footage of Savannah Guthrie's mom, Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper, was released by the FBI.
Savannah Guthrie is currently navigating an extremely tough phase as no traces of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, have been found for over a week now. The Today Show host's 84-year-old mother has been missing from her Tucson, Arizona home after being last seen at midnight on January 31, 2026. Recently, after about ten days of investigation, the FBI released a security camera footage of a masked person of interest. The public suspects Nancy's son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, as the potential face behind the mask. Amid the intense scrutiny, many are wondering where he is and what he is up to.
According to various media reports, Tommaso Cioni is currently in Arizona, where he is staying with his wife, Annie Guthrie, and their child at a "nearby mansion" while cooperating with authorities in the investigation into the disappearance of his mother-in-law, Nancy Guthrie. While Tommaso typically lives in the Catalina Foothills area of Tucson, he has largely disappeared from the public eye since a journalist alleged that he was a "prime suspect" in Nancy Guthrie's kidnapping. A few days ago, Annie and Tommaso's house, approximately four miles from Nancy's, was searched, and, according to unverified X reports, the couple was not present at the time.
Some social media users claim the recently released footage of a masked person of interest in Nancy Guthrie's case matches Tommaso Cioni's physical profile, specifically citing his build and facial hair (moustache and beard). "I've been suspicious about this guy for a week. Intruder has the same slow shoulders, oaffy build & dark facial hair too," an X user wrote. The public also based their prediction on the fact that "the intruder sure knew the area around the Nest camera," since it had been concealed effectively.
NewsNation journalist, Ashleigh Banfield claimed on her podcast that Tommaso Cioni was a "prime suspect," citing an unverified law enforcement source. Annie Guthrie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, are under intense scrutiny as they were among the last people to see Nancy Guthrie before she disappeared from her Tucson home on January 31, 2026. Tommaso reportedly drove Nancy home after a family dinner on Saturday night, ET, and confirmed she was safely inside at approximately 9:30 p.m.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department has repeatedly stated that there are currently no named suspects or persons of interest in the case. Sheriff Chris Nanos emphasised that they are "looking at everyone" who had contact with Nancy as a standard procedure. Authorities have interviewed family members and reportedly impounded a vehicle as part of the investigation. On February 4, 2026, the FBI searched the Tucson home of Annie and Tommaso.
The FBI released high-resolution surveillance photos and video clips of a person of interest in the kidnapping of Savannah's mom, Nancy Guthrie, on February 10, 2026 (ET). According to FBI director, Kash Patel, the footage was recovered from residual data in her home's backend systems after the recording device was removed. The clip shows an armed individual outside her Tucson residence on the morning she vanished. Key details from the visual evidence reportedly include the subject wearing a full-face ski mask (balaclava), dark gloves, a zip-up jacket, khakis, sneakers, and a backpack with reflective strips on the straps.
The man in the video is visibly armed, appearing to have a handgun and a flashlight in their mouth to keep their hands free. Investigative experts noted that the person's eyes and eyebrows are visible through the mask and that the person may have dark facial hair or a moustache. The individual was seen approaching Nancy Guthrie's front door, staring into the doorbell camera, and then covering it with plants he pulled from the victim's garden. As the footage surfaced, some investigators shared their theory that two suspects were present in the case.
Investigators have not received any updates on Nancy Guthrie's whereabouts, even ten days after her disappearance. The Guthrie family still awaits some hopeful news.
