Annie Guthrie is facing renewed interest after her home was searched amid mother Nancy Guthrie's kidnapping. The 84-year-old was reported missing on Sunday and authorities believe she was taken from her home between Saturday night and Sunday morning. While cops have not named any suspects or persons of interest yet, they searched Annie's house today, sparking questions of whether she'd been arrested.
Notably, former NewsNation journalist Ashleigh Banfield had earlier reported that Annie's husband Tommaso Cioni was a ‘suspect’ in the case, but authorities contradicted her account. While the investigation continues, the developments have definitely put Annie Guthrie and her husband in the spotlight.
Moreover, the Guthrie family has received an alleged ransom note seeking $6 million for the octogenarian's return. This has led to talk about individual net worth as well. Notably, Annie's sister and TODAY show host, Savannah Guthrie, has a whopping $40 million net worth.
