Nancy Grace Talks Suspects in Nancy Guthrie Case & Shoots Down Son-in-Law Theory
What To Know
- Nancy Grace gave her take on Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping case.
- She weighed in on the rumored theory that Savannah Guthrie’s brother-in-law may be a suspect in the case.
- The journalist insisted that the ransom note sent to various media outlets will be the key to cracking this case.
Nancy Grace is weighing in on the mysterious disappearance and apparent kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie‘s mother. The journalist appeared on Entertainment Tonight to give her take on the situation, revealing her thoughts about possible suspects and more.
First, Grace, who knows Savannah from their time working together at CourtTV, dissected the video of the Today host and her siblings, Annie Guthrie and Camron Guthrie, pleading for their mom’s safe return. In the video, the siblings addressed the ransom note allegedly written by their mother’s apparent abductors and said they needed proof of life before making any trades.
“There’s something in that ransom note that’s accurate,” Grace discerned. “There’s reportedly two, some people say three, ransom notes that are the same thing sent to different [news] outlets. You have to look at who would send the ransom note to the local station there, obviously a local, and to TMZ.”
Grace pointed out that Savannah and her siblings are working with law enforcement, and said she doesn’t think they would’ve issued a public plea if they “did not find something believable in the ransom note.”
She also said she is certain that the person who allegedly abducted Nancy is a man because of “statistics.” The blood outside of Nancy’s door also “struck” Grace. “It’s not a bludgeoning,” she guessed. “It’s not a gunshot wound. It’s not a cohesive amount of blood from a knife wound. It looks like Nancy Guthrie was walking out and that she was upright.” Grace called this “encouraging.”
Grace specifically weighed in on a theory, first reported by Ashleigh Banfield, that Annie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni, is a suspect in this case (police have made it clear they do not have a person of interest at this time). She does not believe Cioni is a suspect. “I could be wrong, but I find it very hard to believe that the sister and Savannah and Camron are going to make a public plea to an unknown kidnapper when they all think it’s the brother-in-law,” she explained. “It just doesn’t make sense to me.”
The former HLN host urged law enforcement to “focus on the ransom note,” as there is “a lot to be gleaned” from it, including the manner it was sent, which she believes was probably digital. She said there should be focus on “people in the local area that knew where Mrs. Guthrie lives, that knew she’s connected to Savannah.” She continued, “If the ransom note is real, we have indications that it may be, then this is all about money. Who has a money problem and who has a connection to Mrs. Guthrie? There!”

It could definitely be the son-in-law in the context of someone who knows him or is/was an acquaintance with him. This does not make the son-in-law guilty but it definitely can be someone who is in some way connected to him. Either way, it's definitely someone connected to the family and the timeline tells it for the 41 minutes from the time she woke up to the time they left the house. If it's a stranger then 41 minutes is too long. She knew the person she left with. Plus, the no forced entry.

Why do these people reporters lawyer’s police people forever continue to discourage the kidnappers from doing anything further because they discredit everything they do in other words don’t tell them that bitcoin can be traced. Why would you tell them that you try to prove your intelligence because that’s not smart to tell them what they’re doing is wrong telling them to not do the ransom note because of the IP addresses they might not be smart enough to know these things and you’re discouraging them you’ll give them information

Annie is a jeweler. The biggest gem show is going on in Tucson with many international people in the area. Could be someone nefarious that has met Annie in the past, knows her connection, knows the area (dark skies make for an easy escape), and needs money be involved? Collect the ransom and leave the country as you came in.

Just along shot, but, could be someone associated with Savannah through her job network. They talk of how precise the writing of these notes are.. is it a journalist associated with Savannah in some capacity?
Such heartless people!

Well, somebody knew she had a pacemaker because they disconnected it from her apple watch. The pacemaker is under the skin so most people wouldn't know. Somebody knows somebody to have this info.

Pacemakers disconnect on their own when they are out of range of the Apple watch. They continue to function but no longer have the ability to transmit data to the watch.

Somebody didn't disconnect her pacemaker from her apple watch. The disconnect came when she was out of range of the watch.
