One week after Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, mysteriously went missing, law enforcement returned to one of her children’s homes to conduct a late-night search.
On Saturday, February 7, around 10:30 p.m., police were seen going in and out of Annie Guthrie and her husband Tomasso Cioni’s Arizona abode over the course of several hours, according to NewsNation’s Brian Entin. While it’s been reported an agent was spotted carrying a silver briefcase into the house, it is still unclear why investigators were conducting another search of the property or if they found any additional evidence related to Nancy’s potential whereabouts.
The home is one of the last places that Nancy, 84, was seen after having dinner with Annie and her husband on January 31. Her son-in-law allegedly drove her to her own house in Catalina Foothills just before 10 p.m. that night. The next day, she was reported missing after she failed to show up at church..
Her disappearance has since been treated as a crime investigation and a potential kidnapping. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos also exclusively told Us that it’s believed Nancy was taken while she was asleep.
“Something unusual at that house occurred that made us go, ‘Wow, something’s wrong here. Something doesn’t fit,’” he said on Monday, February 2. “We’re gonna pull all the stops and go at all angles. We really do hope it’s a search-and-rescue mission and we find her and she’s safe and sound. But it would be unjust if we didn’t look at what’s in front of us and go, ‘We need to act.’”
On Sunday, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department additionally confirmed the investigation into the 84-year-old’s shocking disappearance is ongoing with no major leads into who or why they may have taken her.
“Follow-up continues at multiple locations. No suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles have been identified,” a post shared to X read. “No scheduled press briefings. If any significant developments occur in the case, a press conference will be called.”
In the wake of Nancy’s disappearance, an alleged ransom note was sent to several media outlets. As Us previously reported, the person or people who supposedly took Nancy are allegedly demanding $6 million in bitcoin for her safe return, according to Tucson ABC affiliate KGUN9.
On Saturday night, Nancy’s children —Savannah, Camron and Annie — pleaded with her alleged abductor or abductors to let her go in a heartbreaking video shared to Instagram.
“We received your message and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her,” Savannah said while holding her siblings’ hands. “This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay.”
Their latest video message comes days after the Guthries publicly stated they were “ready to talk” with the alleged kidnappers and begged for proof their mother was okay.
“We live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated,” Savannah said at the time. “We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us.”
