Savannah Guthrie’s brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, was identified as a possible suspect in the disappearance of Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, according to Ashleigh Banfield.
Ashleigh Banfield, the former host of News Nation’s “Banfield,” claimed a “highly regarded” law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation informed her that Cioni “may be the prime suspect” in this case.
Investigators have since debunked the rumors, but Cioni’s name continues to circulate.
Who Is Tommaso Cioni?
GettyCioni is married to Nancy Guthrie’s eldest daughter, Annie Guthrie. He was reportedly one of the the last people to see Nancy on Saturday evening during a family dinner.
While not much is known about Cioni, the couple reportedly reside nearly Nancy in Tucson, Arizona.
“My husband Tommaso Cioni is my greatest teacher. He is a great manifester; he writes poetry with his lifestyle,” Annie shared in a May 2013 interview. “I was trained as a reader. My family was book-centered. In junior high I always hid in the library at lunch time to avoid the other kids. I think writing is just what young readers begin to do. There was never a decision. My Mom always made us keep diaries.”
According to a LinkedIn profile attributed to Cioni, he works as a teacher at a charter school in Tucson. A biography seemingly written for Cioni from the Tapirulan Cultural Association, reads: “I was born in San Giovanni Valdarno on June 18, 1975.”
“Since 2006, I have been living in Tucson, Arizona. I write when it happens. I study lizards. I play the electric bass. I make homemade pasta.”
Cioni also plays bass for a local band called Early Black.
“Early Black was born on April 2007, when Dominic Evans (drums) and Tommaso Cioni (bass, vocals) met Walter I. Gonçalves, Jr. (guitar, vocals) over a series of online and newspaper ads (Evans met Gonçalves through a Craigslist posting, Cioni responded to a Tucson Weekly posting),” the band’s Reverb Nation profile reads.
Sheriff Nanos Responds to Possible Suspect Claims
After reports began circulating, pointing to Cioni as a possible suspect in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos released a statement.
“At this point, investigators have not identified a suspect or person of interest in this case. Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie,” the statement, which was shared via social media on Wednesday, February 4, began. “Detectives are working closely with the Guthrie family.”
He added, “While we appreciate the public’s concern, the sharing of unverified accusations or false information is irresponsible and does not assist the investigation.”
Mmmmmm im puzzle about this story too my first guess was the police should investigate the last person who was seen with her that my first guess.🤔 i 🙏🏾 that they find her safe and unharmed 🤞🏾🙏🏾✝️..I will keep her family in my ❤️🙏🏾🤞🏾 for safety return..
Just very sad. People jump to conclusions too fast. Someone out there knows and is guilty. I pray they find her quickly. If this was my mother, I’d be hysterical. What is the mood and facial expressions of this son in law?
First: Always start with the last person to see her alive.
Second: The sheriff would NEVER identify any person as being a “suspect” because if that was to be true, then he must be informed of his rights, before they talk to him. Conversely, if he ISN’T A SUSPECT AT THIS TIME, then they can talk to him all they want, and perhaps he will say something wrong which will incriminate himself, and then they will be able to target him. Right now, they are fishing.
Does anyone in the family have a cottage?
