Nancy Guthrie's Son-In-Law Tommaso Reaches A Breaking Point With Media Outside His Home

Savannah Guthrie's brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, is sick of the media and influencers camping out in front of his home in Tucson, Arizona, amid the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case, and he's letting them know it. An account on X (formerly Twitter) posted video footage of Cioni telling a content creator to stop filming him and his house. His words aren't audible in the video, but Cioni is clearly visible in a zoomed video in the X thread.

"Just filming the road," someone says in the 25-second clip, filming across the street from the home of Cioni and his wife, Annie Guthrie, which is about 10 minutes away from the home Nancy was abducted from. "That was Tommaso," the person exclaims at the end of the video, adding, "Holy s***, that's the first time I've seen Tommaso..." Nancy was reported missing on February 1, 2026. Although internet sleuths were naming Annie, Tommaso, and people connected to them as potential suspects in her disappearance, Pima County police never named any of them and cleared family members of involvement in the crime.

On February 16, Sheriff Chris Nanos released a statement on X about the case, announcing, "The Guthrie family — to include all siblings and spouses — has been cleared as possible suspects in this case. The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case." The sheriff continued by literally pleading for people to stop harassing and accusing the family members, stating, "The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple...please, I'm begging you the media to honor your profession and report with some sense of compassion and professionalism."

The Guthrie family, including Savannah Guthrie, her brother Cameron Guthrie, her sister Annie Guthrie, and Annie's husband, Tommaso Cioni, ha maintained a united front in public, even as speculation swirled about them online. On March 2, 2026, Savannah, Annie, and Tomasso were visibly emotional when they visited the memorial in front of Nancy Guthrie's home, putting those painful rumors to bed for many. They added flowers to the site, and both women leaned on Cioni for support. 

The accusations against Cioni made by journalist Ashleigh Banfield have reportedly made Savannah angry. "I have not been able to confirm that the Guthrie family wants to sue Ashleigh Banfield, but I have confirmed that Savannah is livid about that report and definitely does not suspect her or her brother-in-law,"  Megyn Kelly said on SiriusXM's "The Megyn Kelly Show" in March (via the New York Post). Cioni's reaction to the content creator and Savannah's response to speculation about her brother-in-law are understandable. After all, Annie and Cioni have a young son living in the house, and the family has been navigating media attention for 44 days, as of March 16, 2026.

Although she hasn't returned to her hosting position on the "Today" show yet, Savannah did go back to New York in March after being with her family in Arizona for much of the investigation. "Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning to be with and thank her 'Today' colleagues," NBC News said in a March 5 statement (via Variety). "While she plans to return to the show on air, she remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home."
