The search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, co-anchor of the Today show, continues after her abduction. Theories circulating online suggest that Annie Guthrie and her husband Tommaso Cioni sought a loan from Nancy prior to her disappearance. These claims were made by Jonathan Lee Riches, a figure associated with the true crime YouTube channel JLR Investigates, who did not disclose his sources. Riches stated that Nancy refused the loan, igniting speculation that this financial dispute may have led to her abduction. Despite the lack of verification, the narrative has gained traction among followers, leading to various theories about family dynamics. Notably, journalist Ashleigh Banfield has labeled Cioni a 'prime suspect,' although law enforcement has not officially identified any suspects in the case. The situation has drawn significant public attention, with reactions ranging from disbelief to accusations of familial betrayal over money.
