It’s been five months since Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today Show host, Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her Arizona home under mysterious circumstances. Nancy was last seen at night on January 31, 2026 (ET) by her daughter, Annie Guthrie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni. Ever since the FBI released photos and videos of a masked person of interest in Nancy’s case, the internet has been buzzing with theories regarding Tommaso Cioni being the kidnapper. Recently, an unseen photo of him reading a book surfaced, raising eyebrows and sparking chatter among social media users.
Why did Tommaso Cioni’s photo of reading a book spark online chatter?
Annie Guthrie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni has been a subject of constant discussion ever since Nancy Guthrie disappeared without a trace. The reason for it is that Tommaso was the last person to see his mother-in-law before her alleged kidnapping. Recently, in July 2026, journalist, Jonathan Lee Riches (popularly known as JLR) shared an unseen picture of Tommaso on X (formerly Twitter) in which he was seen peeking through a book. As to why the seemingly simple picture became a major talking point is that the book her was reading was Absolute Watchmen by Alan Moore, which is a murder mystery.
Tommaso’s intense staring into the camera creeped out many who came across the post. One wrote, “What A Creepy Pic… Would hate to run into him in a Dark Alley!” Another stated, “Him and his wife are not right. I know everyone thinks that.” A third commented, “He is so creepy!!! Actually frightening! WOW!” A forth echoes similar sentiments, claiming all of Tommaso Cioni’s shots scare them or make them uncomfortable. They stated, “Every picture I see of him is eerily creepy.” As popular public theory about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance suggest that Annie and Tommaso might have killed her, him reading a murder mystery adds on to the suspicion.
