In a major development in the search for Nancy Guthrie, the missing 84-year-old mother of NBC Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, federal investigators were seen arriving at the Arizona home of her daughter, Annie Guthrie, on Tuesday afternoon, as the case entered a more complex phase.
Meanwhile, unverified claims made by a US journalist have drawn attention to a possible family angle. In a recent episode of the podcast Drop Dead Serious, journalist Ashleigh Banfield said a law enforcement source had told her that a vehicle belonging to Annie Guthrie had been seized by authorities and that investigators were exploring a possible connection involving her husband, Tommaso Cioni.
