Search for Nancy Guthrie Continues as Family Cleared of Suspicion
The days since January 31 have been marked by agonizing uncertainty. Nancy Guthrie, 84, vanished near her Tucson-area home, sparking national concern and intense public attention. Rumors circulated online implicating her family—but authorities have now confirmed that every Guthrie relative has been cleared, refocusing the search entirely on Nancy herself.
Ongoing Investigation
Nancy, mother of NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie, was reportedly dropped off at her residence that afternoon and has not been seen since. Law enforcement confirms that several individuals have been questioned, but no suspect has been publicly identified, and Nancy remains missing.
Investigators examined a glove found near her home, which may match gloves worn by someone captured on a doorbell camera. While this detail has drawn interest, authorities have not confirmed the identity or arrest of the individual seen on the footage. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos emphasized that every plausible lead is being pursued.
Family Cleared of Suspicion
Because Nancy’s son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni—husband to Savannah Guthrie’s sister Annie—was reportedly the last person to see her, online speculation emerged about his involvement. Sheriff Nanos moved quickly to dismiss these rumors:
“We do not want Mr. Cioni wrongly scrutinized just because he was the last person to see Nancy before her disappearance.”
Law enforcement sources confirmed investigators are “leaning away” from considering family members as suspects. Authorities stated formally:
“The Guthrie family—including all siblings and spouses—has been cleared as possible suspects. They have been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case. To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims, plain and simple.”
This statement redirects public attention toward locating Nancy and discourages unfounded speculation.
Reward Increased
To encourage new leads, the FBI has doubled the reward for information regarding Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, raising it from $50,000 to $100,000. Officials stress that even small details could prove critical in solving the case.
A Family in Waiting
Nancy’s loved ones remain anxious but cooperative with investigators. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities pursuing all avenues. For now, the focus is clear: safely locating Nancy Guthrie and uncovering the circumstances of her disappearance on January 31.
Conclusion
Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance is a painful mystery, but her family is not at fault. Authorities have confirmed the Guthries are fully cooperative and themselves victims of this troubling situation.
As the search continues and the reward grows, the priority remains finding Nancy safely and providing answers to her loved ones. Her story underscores the importance of truth, patience, and supporting those affected by tragedy.
