The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC’s “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has gripped the nation since she vanished from her Tucson, Arizona home on the night of January 31, 2026. What began as a missing persons case quickly escalated into a full-scale abduction investigation involving the FBI, Pima County Sheriff’s Office, and multiple agencies. Amid intense scrutiny, a startling new development has emerged: authorities reportedly uncovered disturbing evidence during searches of properties connected to the family, including the garden area behind the home of Savannah’s sister, Annie Guthrie.

Annie Guthrie, a poet and older sister to Savannah, along with her husband Tommaso Cioni, a science teacher, live in the Tucson area. Their residence became a focal point early in the probe after Nancy dined there on the evening she disappeared. Tommaso reportedly dropped Nancy off at her nearby Catalina Foothills home around 10 p.m., watching her enter through the garage. Hours later, surveillance from Nancy’s Google Nest doorbell captured a masked figure in a ski mask, gloves, jacket, and carrying a black Ozark Trail backpack tampering with the camera—attempting to obscure it with brush pulled from the front yard before vanishing into the night.
