As the search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie continues, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said during a Thursday afternoon news conference there are no suspects or persons of interest in the case.

In response to a question about online rumors that a Guthrie family member was a suspect, Nanos replied that authorities are looking into anyone and everyone who could have had contact with the missing woman, who disappeared early Sunday morning from her Tucson, Arizona, home.

“We’re actively looking at everybody we come across in this case, everybody. We would be irresponsible if we didn’t talk to everybody — the Uber driver, the gardener, the pool person, whoever. Everybody — it’s so cliché — but everybody’s still a suspect in our eyes. That’s just how we look at things and think as cops,” said Nanos.

“And the family’s been very cooperative. They’ve done everything we’ve asked of them. And we want that relationship to continue.”

Here is a look at Nancy Guthrie’s family:

Annie Guthrie

Nancy’s older daughter is Annie Guthrie, a poet and jeweler who was once the marketing director at the University of Arizona Poetry Center, according to a 2013 profile in Women’s Quarterly. She is the author of “The Good Dark,” a collection of poems published in 2015 by Tupelo Press.

From her poetry and her Facebook page, Annie’s specific interest is in Oracular writing, a form of divination script that positions the poet as a medium between humanity and the supernatural or non-human world.

Tommaso Cioni

Annie is married to Italian-born Tommaso Cioni, an AP biology teacher at BASIS Oro Valley in Tucson. According to his LinkedIn page, he has worked at the school for more than 15 years.

He also is, or at least was, a bassist and vocalist in a local band, Early Black, which describes its genre as rock, post punk and shoegaze. Nine years ago, the band released an album, “Lifelovelovemurder.”

An apparently now-deleted 2015 Facebook post from BASIS Oro Valley features a profile about Cioni, who says he loves working at the school because he is able to share his passion for learning with students.

The profile says that if he was not a teacher, he would prefer to be a rock star and adds, “but wait… I am a rock star! …So I guess I’d be an [sic] herpetologist.” A herpetologist is an amphibian zoologist.

Zach Lind, drummer in the band Jimmy Eat World, spoke kindly of Annie and Tommaso on X earlier this week.

“Annie and Tommy are amazing people, dedicated parents who also love and care for Nancy on a daily basis,” he wrote.

Savannah Guthrie

Nancy’s second daughter is prolific journalist and NBC’s “Today” host Savannah Guthrie. Throughout the 1990s, Guthrie was a broadcaster at local cable affiliates in Montana, Missouri and, eventually, Tucson, where she grew up. She spent five years working at the city’s NBC affiliate, KVOA, before accepting a position at NBC’s local affiliate in Washington, D.C.

After returning to school and becoming a lawyer, she worked briefly in white-collar criminal defense and later as a clerk in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before returning to journalism.

Guthrie began as a legal analyst at the network in 2007. She served as a White House correspondent between 2008 and 2011 and briefly co-hosted an MSNBC show called “The Daily Rundown” between 2010 and 2011.

Since then, she has anchored “Today.”

Charles Camron Guthrie

Charles Camron Guthrie is the brother of Annie and Savannah. He is a retired military colonel who flew F-16s, according to a 2018 Instagram post from Savannah.

“Col. Charles Camron ‘ARLO’ Guthrie on his final flight as an F-16 pilot. He retired from military flying this weekend and we were so honored to see his last flight,” she wrote in the post.

“I have never been more proud of my big brother. He has flown for our country for 26 years, and continues to serve proudly in the ‘Green Mountain Boys’ – the Vermont Air National Guard. He is the pride of our family and one of this country’s finest.”

The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has taken another deeply personal and chilling turn with a painful confession from one of her daughters: Nancy had warned her, “If he comes back, Mom, you won’t have time to call anyone” — a foreboding statement now haunting the family amid revelations about strange call activity on the night she vanished.

The warning, reportedly shared in conversations with close relatives and now emerging publicly, adds to the growing unease surrounding Nancy’s abduction from her home in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills neighborhood. According to family sources, Nancy expressed fear about a specific man—possibly linked to the earlier reports of an old neighbor returning after 11 years or the person she referenced in a 12-second audio clip days before disappearing, mentioning “someone who used to have a key to the house.” The exact identity remains unconfirmed by authorities, but the daughter’s account suggests Nancy anticipated a rapid, dangerous encounter if this individual reappeared.

Compounding the distress, call history from Nancy’s phone reportedly shows a strange, unidentified number appearing exactly three times during the early morning hours of February 1, 2026—the night she is believed to have been taken. These calls, occurring around the time her Ring doorbell camera disconnected (1:47 a.m.), motion was detected (2:12 a.m.), and her pacemaker app disconnected from her phone (2:28 a.m.), have raised questions about whether they were attempts at contact, threats, or related to the abduction. Investigators have not publicly confirmed details of the call logs or traced the number, but digital forensics—including phone records, pacemaker data, and camera timestamps—are central to building the timeline. No forced entry has been definitively established, and authorities continue to explore whether the perpetrator was known to Nancy or had prior access.

This latest revelation comes as the search enters its sixth day (February 6, 2026), with no confirmed proof of life and growing concern over Nancy’s health. She relies on a pacemaker for heart issues and requires daily medications she left behind, along with her cellphone, wallet, and car keys. Her vehicle remains in the driveway. Blood droplets on the front porch have been DNA-tested and confirmed as hers, solidifying the belief she was taken against her will in what Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos describes as a “grave” and “very concerning” situation.

The family—Savannah, sister Annie, and brother Camron (Charles Cameron)—has issued multiple emotional pleas. In a tearful Instagram video on February 4, Savannah addressed any potential captor: “We are ready to talk,” but demanded undeniable proof Nancy is alive, noting the ease of manipulating voices and images today. Camron followed up on February 5, saying the family is “waiting for contact” and emphasizing, “We have to know that you have our mom.” They describe Nancy as a “kind, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness and light”—funny, spunky, and strong in her faith.

The case has been complicated by purported ransom notes sent to outlets like TMZ, KOLD (Tucson CBS affiliate), and others. These unverified emails demanded millions in Bitcoin, included deadlines (one passed on February 5 without follow-up), and referenced specific home details. The FBI is analyzing them, has arrested at least one alleged imposter, and announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy’s recovery or arrests. Officials warn against hoaxes and urge tips through official channels.

Other leads include:

A suspicious unmarked white van spotted by neighbor Brett McIntire in the days prior.
Nancy’s fear of the returning old neighbor, with his name allegedly in a notebook the night before she vanished.
The abrupt 12-second recording expressing concern about a former key holder.

No suspects or persons of interest have been named. The affluent, low-crime Catalina Foothills area has seen extensive searches with over 100 detectives, FBI agents, K-9 units, and volunteers. Neighbors remain on edge, with some installing new security measures.

The daughter’s painful confession—Nancy’s warning about having “no time to call anyone”—combined with the three mysterious calls, underscores the terror of the final moments. Was “he” the key to the crime? The strange number a desperate outreach or something sinister? As hope persists that Nancy—described as God’s precious daughter—is still “out there,” the family and nation cling to the possibility of answers and her safe return.

Authorities urge tips to the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or Pima County Sheriff’s tip line. Every detail, including warnings from the past and unexplained calls, may hold the key to bringing Nancy home.
