Nancy Guthrie: Did Savannah’s Sister Annie & Husband Tommaso Move Into House?

As the Nancy Guthrie investigation enters its seven-month mark, with no updates on her whereabouts or potential suspects, a YouTube investigator has sparked a new debate after he saw “lights on” in the missing 84-year-old’s Arizona home.

Amateur sleuth Jonathan Lee Riches, better known as JLR Investigates, has been closely following the case from the start, including frequent reports from the Tucson, Arizona, area where Nancy lived. In his latest video, Riches is seen driving past what he claimed to be Nancy’s home, where it looked like lights were on inside.

“Oh, there’s lights on in the house,” he said as he drove up in the dark. “What the…? Bro, there’s lights on in there. Who in the heck is in Nancy’s home? Breaking news: there is lights on inside Nancy Guthries’ home.”

Nancy, the mother of Today’s Savannah Guthrie, went missing on February 1, when police believe she was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona, home. Investigators have released doorbell camera footage of a masked suspect and sent DNA for testing at the FBI lab in Quantico, but no suspects have been named publicly.

In his video, Riches speculated that the lights could be on due to a ‘timer.’ However, other commenters suggested it could be family members in the home, including Annie Guthrie, Savannah’s sister, and her husband, Tommaso Cioni.

Last week, Nancy’s friend Lauren Serpa confirmed that Annie and Tommaso had returned to town. “Annie and Tommaso are back in town and their son is back in school,” she wrote on Facebook. “I am asking everybody to please leave them alone. This has been a long six months for them.”

She added, “They have a right to be able to live their lives normally without the feeling of being stalked and watched all the time. Please be respectful and leave them alone.”

The couple faced scrutiny early on in the case after police impounded Annie’s car. The vehicle remained in law enforcement custody for weeks, likely to collect DNA evidence. In March, it was reported that the car was in the process of being returned to the family. At the time, former NewsNation journalist Ashleigh Banfield claimed Tommaso was a suspect.

In a February press conference, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos ruled out any involvement from the Guthrie family. “To be clear… the Guthrie family, to include all siblings and spouses, has been cleared as possible suspects,” he said. “The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case. To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims, plain and simple.”

Social media users shared their reactions to Riches’ latest video, with many offering ideas about why the lights were on in the home.

“Probably because Annie Nancy’s daughter & her husband & children may be living there. I moved into my mother’s home when she passed away,” said one X user.

“Someone was there last week as well. Makes sense, family has to be back from their time away,” another added.

“Could’ve been family members checking on the house…,” another wrote.

Another added, “Maybe the daughter or son moved in.”
