Days after police confirmed that all of Nancy Guthrie’s relatives were cleared in the case, new claims have emerged

Days after police confirmed that all of Nancy Guthrie’s relatives, including her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, have been cleared in the kidnapping case, a new claim has emerged. Journalist and attorney Megyn Kelly recently said that it would be ‘inappropriate’ to not cover Cioni, who was the last person to see the 84-year-old mother of ‘Today’ host Savannah Guthrie on January 31. Police believe that Nancy was abducted from her Tucson home in the early hours of February 1. No suspects have been named in the case yet.

When did Nancy Guthrie go missing?
Nancy Guthrie was at her other daughter Annie’s home on January 31. Her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, dropped her off at her residence around 9:50 PM local time. The 84-year-old was reported missing the next morning when she skipped church.
Search, evidence and ransom notes
Pima County Sheriff’s Department has been searching for Guthrie since. A major piece of evidence, the gloves found near the Tucson house, did not get a DNA match. A doorbell camera footage shows a man entering Nancy’s home. The man, believed to be the suspect, has not been identified yet.
Several media outlets and the Guthrie family received ransom notes, with demands of millions in Bitcoin.
Tommaso Cioni claims
Meanwhile, journalist Ashleigh Banfield suggested that Cioni could be a ‘prime suspect’ in the case. The claim was rubbished by authorities. Now, Megyn Kelly has backed the theory.
The search for the mother of “Today” show cohost Savannah Guthrie is in its seventh week.

Investigators are analyzing additional images recovered by the FBI from security cameras at Nancy Guthrie’s home in Tucson, Ariz., according to ABC News
The images were recovered in recent weeks from motion-activated cameras that covered the pool, backyard and side yard of the property. The images are only thumbnails, and no video has been recovered from the cameras.
The photos captured people in the yard area during an unspecified time period before the abduction, but nothing appeared suspicious, ABC News reported, citing sources briefed on the investigation. The cameras also caught police officers on camera after the kidnapping, but there were no images taken the night of Nancy Guthrie’s abduction.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement Friday, “At this time, we will not comment on the details or status of this analysis.”
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told NBC Nightly News last week that investigators believe they know why Nancy Guthrie’s home was targeted — and didn’t rule out the possibility that her kidnapper could strike again.
The desperate search for Today cohost Savannah Guthrie’s mother is in its second month. Nanos added in the interview that they remain hopeful that the “mixed” DNA found at Nancy’s house will lead investigators to “somebody.”
There have been no significant breakthroughs in the search for Nancy Guthrie. The Pima County Sheriff and the FBI have not publicly named a suspect, and her relatives have been ruled out as potential suspects.
The family of Nancy Guthrie, 84, is offering $1 million for information leading to her “recovery.”
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Pima County Sheriff’s Department tip line at 520-351-4900 or the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

The FBI has recovered additional images from security cameras at Nancy Guthrie’s Arizona home, according to ABC News. The cameras covered the pool, backyard and side yard of the property.
The images are thumbnails only — no video footage has been recovered. ABC News reported that the images captured people in the yard area before the abduction, but nothing appeared suspicious.
On Friday, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said it “continues to analyze various forms of evidence in the Nancy Guthrie case, including material from laboratories as well as images and videos captured by cameras.”
“At this time, we will not comment on the details or status of this analysis,” the statement added.
