Nancy Guthrie Case: Family Defended Amidst Kidnap Fears
14 Feb
Summary
- Sheriff defended Guthrie family against online scrutiny.
- Son-in-law last seen with Nancy before her disappearance.
- FBI seeks suspect, offering $100,000 reward for info.

The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, 84, on January 31, 2026, from Tucson, Arizona, has prompted an extensive investigation and significant public attention. Authorities are treating the case as a suspected kidnapping.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has addressed rampant online speculation, particularly concerning Nancy's daughter, Annie Guthrie, and her husband, Tommaso Cioni. Sheriff Nanos firmly stated that the family has been 100% cooperative and criticized the baseless accusations circulating online, asserting that no family member is currently a suspect.
Netizens focused scrutiny on Tommaso Cioni, who was reportedly the last person to see Nancy before she vanished. His physical resemblance to a masked man in surveillance footage, captured disabling Nancy's doorbell camera, has fueled these theories. However, authorities have not confirmed any link.
The FBI is actively seeking a suspect, described as a male between 5'9" and 5'10" with an average build, seen carrying a black backpack. They have increased the reward for information to USD 100,000, and investigators are diligently pursuing the thousands of tips received.
Concerns are mounting for Nancy Guthrie's health due to her reliance on a pacemaker and daily medication.
