A shocking development has emerged in the high-profile kidnapping case of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of ‘TODAY’ anchor Savannah Guthrie. According to reports cited by journalist Ashleigh Banfield, police have identified Nancy’s son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, as a potential suspect. Cioni is married to Nancy’s daughter, Annie, and the couple were the last known individuals to see the elderly woman on Saturday night. The family reported Nancy missing on Sunday morning after she failed to attend her regular church service. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has confirmed finding “concerning” evidence of foul play at the home, emphasizing the critical timeline due to Nancy’s poor health and need for daily medication.

Investigators in Tucson, Arizona, discovered a trail of blood—later confirmed to be Nancy’s—leading from the front steps of her residence, alongside damaged security cameras. Crucial evidence emerged from Nancy’s health devices: her pacemaker stopped syncing with her Apple Watch at approximately 2 a.m. Sunday, suggesting she was moved out of Bluetooth range around that time. Further deepening the suspicion surrounding the potential suspect, police towed Annie’s car, citing a connection to Cioni. Authorities, including the FBI, are also reviewing the authenticity of an alleged ransom note received by TMZ demanding payment for Nancy’s safe release.
