Search details at Annie Guthrie's residence

"Part of the normal course of the case", said a spokesperson of local police deputy to NBC's morning show, as reported by E! News. Law enforcement officials, including FBI agents, spent about three hours at Annie Guthrie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni's home on February 7, 2026. NewNation reports documented deputies departing at night and posted online, "Deputies are beginning to leave Annie Guthrie's home after a three-hour stay."


Officers used blue gloves to carry brown bags from the property, according to the report. This followed a search at Nancy Guthrie's nearby home, where her car was towed from the garage.

Fox News Digital's noted personnel exiting with bags, writing on X, "After several inside, enforcement left three vehicles. One individual who entered with just a white case left with a bag."

Nancy Guthrie's last known moments

Nancy Guthrie was last seen when Tommaso Cioni dropped her off at her Catalina Foothills home around 9:50 p.m. on January 31, 2026, after family time. Her pacemaker disconnected from her phone at 2:28 a.m. on February 1, and her family found her missing by 11:56 a.m. after she skipped church. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said, "At this point, investigators believe she was taken from her home against her will, possibly in the middle of the night. Taken against her will includes possible kidnapping or abduction. She couldn't walk 50 yards by herself." After days of searching and finding every possible clue there is, the sheriff said in a statement posted to social media Feb. 4 that they have "not identified a suspect or person of interest."

Signs of forced entry included a removed security camera and blood identified as Nancy Guthrie's through DNA. Sheriff Chris Nanos posted on February 4 that no suspect or person of interest has been named.

Family's desperate appeal

Savannah Guthrie, Annie Guthrie, and brother Cameron Guthrie posted an emotional Instagram video on February 7 addressing potential captors. They stated, "We received your message and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay." Savannah Guthrie urged, "We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen. Please reach out to us."


As of February 10, 2026, the case shows no named suspects, with investigators treating some ransom notes as credible.
