Police Raid Home of Savannah Guthrie’s Sister

The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has taken a jaw-dropping turn after deputies descended on the home of Annie Guthrie — the sister of Today host Savannah Guthrie — and stayed for hours in a dramatic late-night search that stunned neighbors and sent the internet into overdrive.

Nancy, 84, vanished on Feb. 1 under increasingly disturbing circumstances. Investigators now say they found blood inside her Tucson home and clear signs of forced entry, fueling fears that the beloved grandmother was violently abducted.

And the timeline only gets stranger. Annie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, were the last people to see Nancy alive after a family dinner on Jan. 31. Hours later, at exactly 1:47 a.m., Nancy’s doorbell camera abruptly disconnected. Moments after that, her pacemaker app went offline too — a chilling digital blackout investigators are treating as a major red flag.

On Saturday night, police swarmed Annie’s home. Cameras captured deputies moving in and out with evidence bags and gear, while NewsNation’s Brian Entin reported seeing bright flashes from inside the house as investigators took photos of potential evidence. Even more unsettling: Annie and Cioni didn’t appear to be living there during the search.

The FBI had already been inside days earlier for a two-hour meeting, and by Sunday, investigators were back at Nancy’s home digging into a nearby septic tank. Hours later, the sheriff’s department confirmed the case had expanded to “multiple locations,” sparking speculation of a widening investigation.

And then came the bombshell: multiple media outlets received ransom notes demanding millions. Authorities have not named any suspects, but they warned reporters not to jump to conclusions — saying any false public speculation could “damage the case” and destroy innocent lives.

Scammers have already started circling the tragedy. The FBI arrested a 42-year-old man who allegedly tried to con the Guthrie family into sending bitcoin ransom payments — just as public panic over the case peaked.

Savannah Guthrie, Annie, and their brother Camron issued a desperate plea in a new video, begging the kidnapper to return their mother alive. “We will pay,” Savannah said, visibly shaken. “We beg you to return our mother to us. This is the only way we will have peace.”

Even President Donald Trump weighed in, claiming the FBI has “strong clues” about what happened to Nancy and hinting that a “solution” might be revealed soon — though he refused to offer specifics.

With raids, ransom notes, scammers, and a national TV star at the center of the storm, the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has become one of the most gripping and unsettling cases in recent memory. Investigators say the next few days will be critical.
