The unfolding story of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has captivated the nation - not only because of her daughter, Today anchor Savannah Guthrie, but also due to rising public interest in her brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni.
Nancy, 84, was last seen the evening of January 31 near her home in the Catalina Foothills of Arizona. Authorities believe she may have been abducted, though no suspect has been named.
Cioni, who is married to Savannah's sister Annie, has been named in online discussions after reportedly being the last person to see Nancy before she went missing. He had dropped her off at home that night, according to early reports. Police have not confirmed any wrongdoing or labeled him a suspect, but his name trending across platforms has fueled speculation.
Officials continue to urge the public to remain cautious and refrain from spreading unverified claims, emphasizing that facts, not theories, are needed to help bring Nancy home.
Meanwhile, a wave of prayer and support has risen from Christian communities online, with many calling for peace, clarity, and Nancy's safe return.
"We stand in prayerful hope," one user posted, "that light will overcome confusion and truth will prevail."
Authorities are asking the public for any camera footage or tips that could assist the search in and around Tucson. As of today, February 5, the case remains active and deeply troubling - but also surrounded by hope.
