On Tuesday, police intensified their search efforts in the neighborhood of Annie, the sister of Savannah Guthrie, as the investigation into the disappearance of their mother, Nancy, continues.
FBI agents were observed conducting a door-to-door inquiry, engaging with residents in the Tucson, Arizona, community where Annie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, reside.
This marks the second police search at the couple’s residence. Authorities were seen capturing photographs at their home late into Saturday evening, with activities reportedly extending until about 10:30 p.m. Mountain Time.
A significant development in the case emerged on Tuesday when FBI Director Kash Patel released surveillance footage depicting an armed individual breaking into Nancy’s home. The images and videos capture the masked intruder approaching Nancy’s front door during the early hours of February 1.
The suspect, clad in a jacket and gloves, moved with their head lowered. The individual also carried a backpack, and an unspecified weapon was visible in a holster at their waist.
The footage captured a clear view of the culprit’s eyes while they attempted to disarm the home’s security camera, which was disconnected at 1:47 a.m MT, investigators previously revealed.
A statement released to the press Tuesday noted that the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department had been working together to “recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors — including the removal of recording devices.”
The footage of the suspect was recovered from residual data located in backend systems, according to the statement.
Savannah shared the footage on her Instagram Tuesday, pleading again for help in finding her 84-year-old mother.
“Someone out there recognizes this person,” the “Today” anchor wrote. “We believe she is still out there. Bring her home.”
Former CIA member and FBI special agent Tracy Walder exclusively told Page Six that one detail in the new photos and videos of the suspect released could give away their identity.
“I think [the suspect’s] gait is interesting,” Walder pointed out. “While [their] walk is not overly distinctive, I do think that’s something the FBI could look at.”
Walder also noted how the suspect’s eyes were exposed despite wearing a mask, telling us, “I’m shocked [they] didn’t have some kind of night vision glasses to deter [their] eyes.”
Nancy was last seen on Jan. 31 by Cioni, who dropped Nancy at her home after having dinner with her and his wife.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement Sunday that Nancy’s disappearance remains “an active and ongoing investigation” and that they are continuing to “conduct follow-up at multiple locations.”
“Investigators have not identified any suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles connected to this case,” the statement reads.
