FBI reviews evidence before disappearance
Federal investigators are reviewing Nancy’s The Tucson community is specifically asking residents to provide home security footage from Jan. 11 to Jan. 24, weeks before she disappeared.
Agents specifically requested footage from those dates and even saw neighbors checking their camera archives, NewsNation reporter Brian Entin reported.

Savannah Guthrie ‘furious’ over accusations about brother-in-law
During the ongoing search, Savannah found herself dealing with another painful situation, reportedly upset that her brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, was connected to the case. Sione was one of the last people to see Nancy, having hosted her for dinner with his wife, Annie Guthrie, the night before she disappeared.
Shortly after Nancy disappeared, journalist Ashley Banfield claimed on the show that Sione was considered a suspect, citing what she said were law enforcement sources.
Savannah’s former NBC colleague Megyn Kelly said the host was “outraged” by the claims and may consider legal action, the New York Post reported.
“I can’t confirm that the Guthrie family wants to prosecute Ashley Banfield, but I have confirmed that Savannah is outraged by the report and has absolutely no doubts about her or her brother-in-law,” Kelly said late last week on SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show.”
“Can you blame her? I mean, of course, she loves her sister, I’m sure she loves her brother-in-law, and I’m sure she really doesn’t believe they had anything to do with this,” she added.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office firmly refuted the speculation, making it clear that Savannah and her entire family have been ruled out as suspects. “The family has been cooperative and amicable and they are victims of this crime,” the Sheriff’s Office said in an official statement.
Sheriff Nanos further said at the press conference that “implying that family members were involved is not only wrong, it’s cruel.” He later told NBC News that his office issued the statement because people have been “attacking innocent people.”
