Today show host, Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy, has been missing for days now. But instead of clues to her location, every day, new facts and angles from the case are making headlines. The 84-year-old has been reported missing from her Tucson home, which the investigators describe as a likely abduction in the early hours of Sunday, January 31, 2026. While law enforcement is investigating the case and the forensic department is looking for evidence, the public interest has shifted towards names that surfaced in early reporting, especially, Tommaso Cioni and Walter Goncalves.
Why is Tommaso Cioni’s nationality being discussed in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance case?
Tommaso Cioni is married to Nancy Guthrie’s eldest daughter, Annie, and has been in the limelight since the disappearance of his mother-in-law. He has been one of the names discussed in the case because he was reportedly the last person to see Nancy before she vanished. According to reports, Tommaso drove her home around 9:45–9:50 p.m. after a family dinner on the night of her suspected abduction.

Since he has been linked in the media reports related to the case, there has been an online discussion about his Italian origin. For those unaware, Tommaso was born in San Giovanni Valdarno, Italy, and moved to Tucson in 2006. Subsequently, social media users have raised speculation about his citizenship status and past posts. Incidentally, the speculation comes despite the law-enforcement agency not indicating it. Rather, they have clarified that interviewing family members is standard practice in abduction cases.

Why was Walter Goncalves’ name linked to the case?
Walter Goncalves’ name has entered online discussions because of his connection to Tommaso Cioni through the local band Early Black. According to screenshots shared on social media, Walter is listed as a band member on music sites. Some posts also claimed he is a federal public defender, though this has not been confirmed. Meanwhile, according to the band’s archival description, Tommaso handles bass and vocals, while Donomic Evans is the drummer.

The couple reportedly lives close to Nancy’s residence, which is a key reason for their frequent visits; he met her the night before she disappeared. His name surfaced after independent journalist Ashleigh Banfield reported that a source had identified Tommaso as a “person of interest”. However, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI emphasised that no suspects or persons of interest have been officially named.

What developments have happened in the Nancy Guthrie case so far?
The federal investigators have gradually established a precise timeline of the case where Nancy’s doorbell camera was disconnected at 1:47 a.m., and at 2:12 a.m., her pacemaker monitoring app lost connection. But, her phone has been found inside her home and DNA confirmed that the blood found on the porch belonged to Nancy.
At the same time, new outlets such as TMZ and KOLD-TV received ransom notes demanding Bitcoin, which were sent to them. One message reportedly contained unreleased details, which has made authorities believe that it could be linked to her disappearance. Even seperate California individual, Derrick Callella, was arrested for sending fake ransom texts to the family. Furthermore, the FBI is offering a USD 50,000 reward for information on her.
