Feb. 10, 2026 (ET) — The investigation into the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie continues to draw national attention. With interest focused on the family, many are asking about her daughter Annie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni, and how he factors into the timeline. Here is the latest, using Eastern Time and limited to developments confirmed publicly in recent days.
Annie Guthrie is married to Tommaso Cioni, an Italy-born poet and educator who has lived in Tucson for years. Public profiles and prior biographical notes describe interests in literature, biology, and music. The couple lives in the Tucson area with their child. Annie, a writer and artist, has shared over the years that her extended family—including her sister, a prominent morning-show journalist—remains closely knit in southern Arizona.
Investigators say Nancy Guthrie was taken from her Catalina Foothills home against her will during the overnight hours between Saturday, January 31, 2026, and Sunday, February 1, 2026 (ET). The home has been treated as a crime scene. A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered for information that leads to Nancy’s recovery and/or to arrests in the case. Officials have emphasized that, as of Tuesday, February 10 (ET), they have not identified any suspects or persons of interest and continue to ask the public for actionable tips rather than condolences on tip lines.
Multiple alleged ransom communications have been received by media and reviewed by law enforcement. Officials have stated they are evaluating such material while also processing forensic evidence and electronic data. Authorities have reiterated that no theory is off the table, but have also cautioned against drawing conclusions in the absence of verified proof.
Family members, including Annie and Cioni, spent part of Saturday evening with Nancy before she was dropped off at home later that night. In public briefings, officials have consistently described family cooperation with the investigation. Recent activity by detectives at the residence shared by Annie and Cioni occurred over the weekend; commentary from former investigators has indicated at least one visit was conducted with consent rather than through a search warrant. To date, authorities have not alleged wrongdoing by Annie or Cioni and have repeatedly said no one has been designated a suspect.
Separately, the family’s public appeals for Nancy’s safe return have continued. In the past 24 hours, online attention also noted changes to Annie’s social media privacy settings that reduced the visibility of older family photos. That move has been framed by observers as a response to intense, often speculative scrutiny rather than a signal about the investigation itself.
Given the high-profile nature of the case, misleading narratives have circulated online. Officials have urged the public and press to distinguish between verified facts and unverified claims and to refrain from contacting emergency communications lines with messages of support rather than tips.
Authorities want timely, specific information that could place Nancy or identify individuals who interacted with her, her devices, or her property between late Saturday, January 31, and Sunday, February 1 (ET). Residents in the Catalina Foothills and greater Tucson area are encouraged to review any overnight home-security video, dashcam footage, or unusual observations from those dates and share relevant details with investigators. Tipsters are reminded that even seemingly minor information—such as a vehicle seen idling, unfamiliar footsteps, or unusual noises—can help establish a more complete timeline.
As the search enters a second week, the family continues to appeal for Nancy’s safe return and for anyone with credible information to come forward. While public interest has naturally extended to loved ones like Annie and her husband, the central focus remains unchanged: bringing Nancy home and identifying whoever is responsible.
