Annie Guthrie and Her Husband Tommaso Cioni’s Home Searched for the Second Time — What We’ve Learned

Investigators searched the Arizona home of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie's sister again late at night, focusing attention on what they may have taken away.

As the search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie moves into its second week, focus has turned to Anne Guthrie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, with authorities offering little explanation for the renewed attention.

That focus became visible on Saturday night, February 7, 2026, when investigators returned to the Arizona residence for a second time and remained inside for several hours.

Authorities photographed multiple rooms while law enforcement vehicles surrounded the area, remaining inside the home until about 10:30 p.m. local time, according to NBC Montana. During the search, agents were also seen carrying a silver briefcase into the residence.

The renewed search follows earlier unexplained activity at Nancy's own home, where a vehicle was towed and a camera removed.

But attention sharpened as the search wrapped up. According to People, officials were seen exiting the home carrying a white case and a brown bag, with one investigator wearing blue gloves.

"All that white case is — is evidence processing tools. The brown bag is for evidence," former CIA and FBI agent Tracy Walder said.

She added that the investigators' repeated movement during the search stood out. She added, "The back and forth is of course odd and we don't see that a lot."

According to the Daily Mail, authorities searched a septic tank at Nancy's Tucson residence.

Footage published by the outlet showed law enforcement using a pole to inspect inside a manhole behind the property. Images shared on X by JLR Investigates appeared to show investigators examining a large drainage pipe near the home.

Former Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) captain Josh Schirard told the newsoutlet that investigators may be examining how septic systems function as part of the search.

"So, somebody may have flushed something thinking that would get rid of it, but instead it would actually just be deposited in the septic tank. It is a possibility that [investigators] are now trying to make sure that there's nothing in there that could indicate any kind of guilt," he said.

As investigators continue their work, attention has also turned to publicly available details about Tommaso.

On her podcast, Ashleigh Banfield stated that Cioni was born in San Giovanni Valdarno, Italy, on June 18, 1975, and has lived in Tucson since 2006, citing a biography from the Tapirulan Cultural Association. His biography states, "I write when I have the chance. I study lizards. I play the electric bass. I make homemade pasta."

He is also listed as a member of the band Early Black, formed in 2007, according to ReverbNation.

An apparently now-deleted 2015 Facebook post from BASIS Oro Valley Primary described him as a 6th-grade and AP Biology teacher, according to Fox News.

The profile stated that if he were not a teacher, he would be a "rock star," before adding he would likely be a herpetologist, a zoologist who studies amphibians and reptiles.

Nancy previously shared a Facebook post celebrating Annie and Tommaso's relationship, writing, "Annie and Tommaso. 14 years." Based on that 2020 post, the couple have now been married for 19 years.

Annie has publicly praised her husband, writing, "My husband Tommaso Cioni is my greatest teacher. He is a great manifester; he writes poetry with his lifestyle," according to Women's Quarterly Conversation.

Nancy has been missing since January 31. The search activity comes as investigators continue reviewing surveillance footage tied to Nancy's disappearance.

As previously reported, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released on X surveillance images and video of an individual described as "armed" in connection with the kidnapping of Nancy, as federal authorities continue efforts to locate the missing woman and identify the suspect believed to be involved in her disappearance.

The images and video were shared publicly by FBI Director Kash Patel, who urged members of the public to carefully review the footage and report any information that could assist investigators.

According to the FBI, the individual shown in the surveillance materials is considered dangerous, and the public has been warned not to approach the suspect.

In the released footage, the individual appears wearing dark clothing and is seen moving through what authorities believe may be a residential area.

The FBI has not disclosed the exact location where the footage was recorded, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation. Officials have confirmed, however, that the material is part of a broader effort to track the suspect's movements.

Additional images were later shared through the FBI Most Wanted account, which again described the individual as armed and urged anyone with information to contact authorities immediately. The agency stressed that the suspect should not be confronted under any circumstances.

The case has also drawn attention at the federal level. Posting on X, the White House amplified the FBI's appeal for assistance by sharing the surveillance materials and encouraging the public to help identify the individual shown in the footage.

Officials did not provide further details but echoed warnings about the suspect's potential danger.

Following the release of the surveillance images, Savannah addressed the case, sharing a message on Instagram as the search for her mother continues. In her post, the "Today" show co-anchor expressed hope that Nancy is still alive and urged anyone with information to contact authorities:

"We believe she is still alive. Bring her home."

In the same post, Savannah asked the public to come forward with any information, sharing contact details for the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department (PCSD).

Federal authorities have not released information about Nancy's current condition or the specific circumstances surrounding her disappearance. Investigators have confirmed only that her case is being treated as a kidnapping and that all available resources are being used to locate her safely.
