Sheriff Pushes Back on Ashleigh Banfield Report That Savannah Guthrie's Brother-in-Law Suspected in Mom's Disappearance
"The Pima County Sheriff's Office is pushing back on a report from former NewsNation anchor Ashleigh Banfield that Savannah Guthrie's brother-in-law is the prime suspect in the disappearance of her mom, Nancy Guthrie. At this point, investigators have not identified a suspect or person of interest in this case, the sheriff's office said in a statement on Wednesday. Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie."
"And my law enforcement source tells me that Tommaso Cioni is the prime suspect in this case. Banfield then tried to walk back her own statement in real-time, saying, At the very least, let me tamp that down, because sometimes it's the first person you're looking at, not prime as in there's no one else, OK? So, let's be really mindful of that. Families are always looked at first as well. It doesn't mean right away."
Pima County Sheriff's Office stated investigators have not identified a suspect or person of interest in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance and detectives continue to interview anyone who may have had contact with her. Former anchor Ashleigh Banfield asserted on her podcast that Tommaso Cioni, Annie Guthrie's husband and Savannah Guthrie's brother-in-law, is the prime suspect, citing a law enforcement source and alleging a connection to Annie's car. Banfield partially retracted that characterization, noting families are often initial subjects of investigation. Annie Guthrie is believed to be the last person to see Nancy, having dined with her and dropped her off just before 10 p.m.
