Savannah Guthrie's Sister, Brother-in-Law Seen in Public for First Time Since Mother's Disappearance

As investigators expand their search, new images are drawing attention at a sensitive moment. They appeared as authorities continued working through unanswered questions surrounding Nancy Guthrie's disappearance.

Savannah Guthrie's sister, Annie Guthrie, and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, were photographed in public for the first time since the TODAY anchor's 84-year-old mother vanished from her Arizona home.

First Public Sighting Since Nancy Vanished

The photos were taken on February 3, 2026, two days after Nancy was reported missing.

In the images, Annie is seen pulling a pink hoodie up around her face. Tommaso raises his sweatshirt over his nose and wears sunglasses as they sit inside their vehicle.

The sighting marked the first time either had been photographed publicly since the investigation began.

Public Reaction Was Immediate

The images quickly spread online, prompting a flood of reactions. "This is getting more and more strange," one commenter wrote. Another added, "I mean, why do you have to cover your face so much and hide if you have nothing to hide🤔."

Others asked bluntly, "Why are they covering their faces?" and "Why are they hiding?" One commenter went further, writing, "It's such a guilty look. IMO."

Not everyone agreed with the criticism. One person pushed back, saying, "Geeeeez leave them alone they want privacy, obviously." Another described the sighting as "Strange behavior."

FBI Activity Raises Questions

The photos surfaced just one day after federal agents were seen at Annie's Arizona home.

According to Page Six, FBI agents and sheriff's deputies arrived at the residence on Tuesday afternoon and remained there for roughly two hours.

Law enforcement officers were photographed leaving the property. Officials did not respond to questions as they exited. Savannah was also believed to be at the home during the meeting.

Around the same time, TMZ reported that additional law enforcement units were involved at the same address.

Photos showed a deputy wearing an ICAC badge, associated with the Internet Crimes Against Children task force, arriving with what appeared to be a forensic extraction device.

The device is reportedly capable of retrieving data from smartphones, SIM cards, and deleted or encrypted material. Reporters outside the home said agents appeared to remove items, though authorities have not confirmed what, if anything, was taken.

Pima County officials later stated that detectives from multiple units are assisting and stressed that "this does not mean an acronym or unit name on the shirt is indicative of a particular crime associated with this case."

What Authorities Have Said So Far

Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on Sunday, February 1, after officials received a 911 call from a concerned family member that morning.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos described the situation as alarming from the outset. "This is very concerning to us," he said during a press conference. "We don't typically get the sheriff out at a scene like this."

Detectives from the homicide team were dispatched after investigators found troubling evidence at the home.

Nanos later confirmed Nancy has no cognitive issues, though she is not in good physical health. Authorities have said they do not currently have a suspect or person of interest.

The Initial Version of Events That Was Later Revised

In the early days of the investigation, authorities publicly stated that Annie was believed to be the last person to see her mother before she went missing.

As first reported by Us Weekly, that assessment was based on initial information about the family dinner and Nancy's return home. That account was later corrected.

According to the New York Post, investigators clarified that it was actually Nancy's son-in-law, Tommaso, who last saw her. The correction reflected a refinement of the timeline as investigators gathered more information.

Sheriff Nanos also stated that the family has been cooperative throughout the investigation.

"We have a start point," Nanos said. He also stated Annie did not raise any "red flags" about her mother's behavior during their last interaction.

How the Events Unfolded

As the investigation continues, authorities have outlined a sequence of events that begins with Nancy's final confirmed outing and ends with the launch of an intensive search.

On the evening of Saturday, January 31, Nancy had dinner in Tucson, Arizona, with her daughter, Annie, and son-in-law, Tommaso.

After dinner, between about 9:30 and 9:45 p.m., Tommaso drove Nancy back to her home and ensured she entered safely before leaving.

What happened in the hours that followed remains unclear. Authorities have described the period between late Saturday night and Sunday morning as a critical window in the investigation.

The following morning, Sunday, February 1, she did not attend church, which family members said was part of her regular routine. Church members noticed her absence and contacted her family.

When relatives were unable to reach her, concern grew. By about 11 a.m., family members realized she was missing. They called the police at 12:15 p.m., who promptly responded to her Tucson-area home.

Later that day, Sheriff Nanos said investigators found "something at the home that didn't sit well," prompting the deployment of detectives, including members of the homicide team.

Ongoing Investigation, Limited Answers

As officials remain tight-lipped, public discussion continues.

"There is more to this story… They, the authorities and family are remaining tight lipped. So many conspiracy theories… Hoping they find her safe and unharmed. Heartbreaking 💔."

Authorities say the investigation remains active and ongoing. For now, the newly released photos have added visibility, but not clarity, to a case still defined by unanswered questions.
