Nancy Guthrie: Kidnapping mystery deepens

It has been nearly two weeks since Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie, vanished from her Arizona residence under mysterious circumstances. She was last seen on the evening of January 31, 2026. Authorities are now focusing on a masked individual captured on doorbell camera footage outside her home, with the FBI releasing photos and videos of a person of interest.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has stated that while the Guthrie family has been cooperative, no one has been officially cleared in the ongoing investigation. This includes the family members, Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni, who were present the night of the disappearance. A delivery driver, Carlos Palazuelos, was detained and questioned, and his home and vehicle searched, but he was later released without charges.

Investigators recently discovered DNA evidence on Nancy Guthrie's property that does not match her or individuals in close contact, adding another layer to the mystery. Public speculation has centered on Nancy's son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, and his bandmate, Dominic Evans, due to perceived similarities between their physical profiles and the masked suspect. However, no suspects have been formally named as the investigation continues.

The FBI and Sheriff's Department are actively working to identify the masked suspect. The recovered DNA is currently undergoing analysis. The Guthrie family continues to await hopeful news regarding Nancy's whereabouts, with no updates received twelve days after her disappearance.
