Sheriff's Department Gives Update on Nancy Guthrie Case 9 Months After Kidnapping

Investigators met with Florida lab scientists as they pursue new DNA and ransom-note leads in the months-long search, officials said.

  • On Friday, the Pima County Sheriff revealed investigators traveled to Florida to meet with "lab scientists" to explore "what more could be done to advance the case" regarding Nancy Guthrie's disappearance.
  • The 84-year-old mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie vanished from her Tucson home nearly nine months ago after Tommaso Cioni, her son-in-law, dropped her off on January 31.
  • FBI agents discovered "potentially critical" new DNA at the home in April, yet fake ransom notes involving AI-generated images have complicated efforts; Savannah Guthrie publicly stated, "We are ready to talk."
  • Sheriff Nanos told KVOI that fake ransom notes "disturb" the family and neighborhood for media attention, as the Pima County Sheriff continues working with partners despite public interference.
  • A massive search launched in Mexico this June expanded international efforts to locate Guthrie, with The Buscando Corazones collective having previously discovered more than 25 unmarked graves in that region.
