Police share major update on Nancy Guthrie kidnapping suspect

84-year-old Nancy Guthrie has been missing since Janaury 31. The police have not yet shared any information about a possible suspect. But on Monday, police released a statement addressing rumors about her family.

Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on January 31 when she was dropped off at her home near Tucson, Arizona.

Several people have been detained in connection with the 84-year-old’s disappearance, but so far, Nancy has not been found.

The FBI has analyzed a glove found near Guthrie’s home, which appears to match the ones worn by a suspect seen in her home’s doorbell camera footage, CNN reported.

While the investigation is ongoing, police have looked into every possibility in connection with her abduction. One of those that has been investigated is Nancy Guthrie’s son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, the husband of Today show host Savannah’s sister, Annie.

He was the last person to see Nancy alive on Janunary 31, and there have been questions about his involvement.

Police clears Nancy Guthrie’s family in kidnap case in new update
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told the Daily Mail he “did not want Cioni to be wrongly scrutinized just because he was the last person to see Nancy before her disappearance.”

Further, just hours before, law enforcement sources told NBC News that police were “leaning away” from considering family members as suspects.

Now, authorities have released new information about the possible involvement of Guthrie’s family members regarding her abduction. Nancy’s family, including Tommaso has been cleared of any suspicion.

“The Guthrie family – to include all siblings and spouses – has been cleared as possible suspects in this case,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said Monday, per the NY Post.

“The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case,” he added. “To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple.”
