Questions have circulated online in recent days about whether Annie Guthrie's husband, Tommaso Cioni, is being investigated in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
At this time, law enforcement officials have not identified any suspects or persons of interest, and authorities have not publicly named Cioni in connection with the case.
Why Is His Name Being Mentioned?
Speculation intensified after the FBI released surveillance footage showing a masked individual approaching Nancy Guthrie's home in the early morning hours of February 1. The footage, recovered from backend systems after the home's security camera was reportedly disconnected, shows an armed individual wearing a ski mask, gloves, and a backpack attempting to interfere with the doorbell camera.
Following the release of the images, some social media users began comparing visible features of the masked individual - including eyebrows, facial hair, and body shape - to Cioni, who is Nancy Guthrie's son-in-law.
However, these claims remain unverified and are based solely on online speculation.
Police Activity in the Neighborhood
Law enforcement presence in Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni's neighborhood has also contributed to public curiosity.
According to reports, FBI agents and members of the Pima County Sheriff's Department were seen going door to door in the Tucson, Arizona area. Authorities also conducted searches in the neighborhood and took photographs outside the couple's property.
Officials later clarified that the investigation remains ongoing and that officers are conducting follow-ups at multiple locations. A public statement from law enforcement emphasized that no suspects have been identified at this stage.
What Authorities Have Said
Deputies have stated that:
-
The case remains active and ongoing.
-
No persons of interest have been publicly named.
-
Investigators are continuing to analyze recovered surveillance footage.
-
The public is encouraged to come forward with information.
FBI officials have also released images of the masked individual in hopes that someone may recognize them.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on January 31 after being dropped off at her home. Investigators believe she was abducted, though details surrounding the circumstances remain under review.
There is no public evidence at this time linking Cioni to the crime.
The Bottom Line
There is no official confirmation that Annie Guthrie's husband is being investigated as a suspect.
While social media discussions have drawn attention to perceived similarities between the masked individual and Cioni, authorities have not verified those claims. Law enforcement agencies have reiterated that the investigation is ongoing and that no individuals have been formally identified in connection with the crime.
As with any active case, officials are urging the public to rely on confirmed information rather than speculation.
The investigation continues.
