Are Annie And Tommaso Cioni Linked To Nancy Guthrie's Disappearance? Sheriff Says, 'The Family..'

The mystery around the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has gripped the US since February 1, 2026. The 84-year-old mother of TODAY show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie disappeared from Tucson, Arizona, on January 31, 2026. Along with putting the investigation agencies on its toes, it has also placed the whole of Guthrie under public scrutiny. Investigators have been treating the case as a suspected kidnapping, which has made the internet speculate Nancy's daughter, Annie Guthrie, and her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni. After a long silence, the authorities have now addressed these theories directly and asked the public to avoid concluding without evidence.

What did the Pima County Sheriff say about online scrutiny of Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni? 

Pima County Sheriff, Chris Nanos recently spoke about the growing speculation about the Guthrie family's possible involvement. According to Fox News correspondent Matt Finn, Sheriff Nanos firmly defended the Guthrie family against scrutiny. He emphasised that they have fully cooperated with the investigators in every possible way throughout the probe. His statement seemingly contradicted the widespread online rumours about Annie and Tomasso that emerged after the case details became public. Sharing his views, he said:

"The family has been fully, 100% cooperative, whatever we asked for."

Sheriff Nanos also strongly called out the unverified accusations circulating online. He highlighted how the online accusations are being made without any proof, which is unjustified in such a serious case. Although he officially mentioned that investigators have not officially ruled anyone out, he made it clear that no family member has been named as a suspect or person of interest. Meanwhile, the authorities have maintained that the investigation remains open-ended, and detectives are following leads rather than speculation. In his words:

 "You can't accuse people of a horrific crime like that and not have any facts behind it."

According to reports by Fox News and other outlets, he was the last known person to see Nancy after he and his wife, Annie, had dinner with her the night before she disappeared. He dropped her off at home. Additionally, the physical similarities between the masked man seen in Nancy Guthrie's surveillance footage and Tommaso have fueled online speculation. However, authorities have not confirmed any connection between Tommaso and the suspect.
