A self-styled investigator shared Tommaso Cioni's photo from his Early Black band days, amid the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie. The picture led netizens to ask questions about the drummer, with many pointing out the person looked somewhat familiar.
The photo was shared by Jonathan Lee Riches or JLR, who has focused on Tommaso and his wife, Annie Guthrie, amid the octogenarian's disappearance. Nancy Guthrie, mother of TODAY show host, Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing on February 1 and authorities believe she was taken from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson, Arizona, the night before.
While no suspect has been publicly named seven months since, a lot of speculations have surrounded Tommaso and Annie. This comes after former NewsNation journalist Ashleigh Banfield reported that Tommaso might be considered a suspect in the case. Notably, authorities have clarified that none of the Guthrie family members are suspects. However, public interest in Annie and Tommaso has continued after reports emerged that Nancy had had dinner at Annie's house the night before she was reported missing and Tommaso then reportedly dropped her home, making them among the last two people to see the 84-year-old before she was taken.
This interest in the married couple, who live near Nancy's place, has extended to Tommaso's past, including the time he spent in a local band. Members of that band also came up in public speculations though there is nothing concrete to tie them to Nancy Guthrie's disappearance.

JLR shared Tommaso's photo on X and wrote “Tommaso Cioni with an unidentified bandmate playing in Tucson Arizona years ago. Where's Nancy Guthrie?”.
The photo showed Tommaso performing on stage. He was seen in a black shirt with red tie, playing the guitar. A drummer was also visible behind him.
Tommaso Cioni's photo raises questions about drummer
Several people reacted to the photo of Tommaso Cioni during his band days. “The drummer looks like someone who works at El Charro,” one wrote. Another added “Who is that drummer?”. Yet another said “His bandmate looks like someone I've seen before...”.
Meanwhile, one remarked that the drummer looked somewhat like actor Danny Trejo, known for movies like Machete.
The photo also sparked a larger conversation about Annie and Tommaso, with one saying “…her poetry makes me feel creepy. I had to shut it off. Something is very wrong with these people.”
