The search for Nancy Guthrie continues after over three months of the 84-year-old going missing. Now, a self-styled investigator has tried to focus attention on the situation with the vehicles in the Guthrie family. Jonathan Lee Riches, or JLR, who had been covering the Guthrie case from on-ground in Tucson, also asked about how events went down the night before February 1.

Guthrie, the mother of TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing on the fateful morning. However, authorities believe she was taken from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson, Arizona, the night before.

That night, Guthrie had reportedly had dinner with her other daughter, Annie, at the latter's place. Their houses are reportedly close and Annie's husband, Tommaso Cioni is believed to have dropped Guthrie home after dinner. This had earlier raised questions among some online, about why Guthrie chose to take an Uber to Annie and Tommaso's place that night.

JLR spoke about the same on X. Here's what the self-styled investigator said.

What JLR said about Nancy Guthrie's car

JLR wrote “Caller said today that maybe Nancy Guthrie took an Uber that evening to Annie & Tommaso's cause someone else was driving her Subaru. Like Camron.”

He was referring to Savannah and Annie's brother, Camron, who's had a military past. “Camron has been seen many times driving her car,” JLR added. Notably, JLR, who's among the streamers tracking the Nancy Guthrie case, has earlier questioned the timeline of Camron's arrival to Tucson as well.

Questions asked about Annie and Tommaso's car

Another person on X posted an alleged screenshot of Annie Guthrie apparently trying to sell a vehicle. As per the alleged image, the post was made on the NW Tucson Cars for Sale page back in June 2025. “One owner, low miles, no accidents, clean title, leather seats, sunroof, seat warmers”, the alleged description read. Photos of a vehicle were attached below.

HT.com could not independently verify this information.

However, the person who posted it also questioned the need for Nancy Guthrie to cab it to Annie's place the night before she was reported missing. “So does this mean that Annie and Tommaso only have one car between the 2 of them? Maybe they borrowed Nancy’s car all the time. Maybe that’s why they towed Nancy’s car too? Maybe that’s why she had to take an Uber that night, and then they put the car back?,” the person wrote.

Notably, authorities had seized one vehicle from Annie and Tommaso, which they tested for DNA since Tommaso had dropped Nancy Guthrie home after dinner. There was a delay in returning the vehicle, which had only led to more speculations around the couple.

Annie and Tommaso have been under public scrutiny ever since former NewsNation journalist Ashleigh Banfield had reported that Tommaso might be a suspect in the case. Nancy Guthrie's movements the night before are also such that Annie and Tommaso are among the last people to see her before she was taken. However, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, whose department is investigating the matter, has cleared all Guthrie family members from being suspects – which includes Annie, Tommaso, and Camron, despite whatever speculations have been directed towards them. Savannah also spoke out in support of Annie and Tommaso, noting that the duo loved Nancy Guthrie very much.
