Nancy Guthrie Case: Annie Guthrie Shared Route Map in Neighbors’ Group Chat Shortly After Mother’s Disappearance

In a recent revelation in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance case, investigative reporter Dave Mack said Annie Guthrie had shared a map in a neighborhood group chat shortly after her mother's disappearance. She asked residents to review surveillance footage from homes and businesses along a possible route connected to the case.

Mack noted that the area includes numerous residences and commercial properties, increasing the likelihood that someone may have captured suspicious activity on security cameras.

Sheryl McCollum, founder of the Cold Case Investigative Research Institute, said the suspect may have been waiting for Nancy Guthrie to return home on the night of January 31.

“She asked neighbors to check their doorbell and dashcam footage for any “suspicious activity” or vehicles along specific routes around the time Nancy vanished,” shared the X account Missing Lost Trafficked.

“The map reportedly featured a route highlighted in blue that was described by experts as ‘desolate,’ with few lights and no traffic signals—making it a potential path for a suspect to leave the area undetected.”

Previously, investigative reporter Jonathan Lee Riches shared the map on his X account.

“I’m told Annie Guthrie sent this map out to a neighborhood group chat asking neighbors to check their camera footage for suspicious activity right before and after the suspected kidnapping,” Riches wrote.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have reportedly reviewed surveillance footage collected from nearby homes.

Authorities described the possible suspect as a man of average build standing approximately 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10. A Ring doorbell camera allegedly captured an individual outside Guthrie’s home wearing a ski mask and carrying a black 25-liter Ozark Trail hiking backpack.

Nancy Guthrie, the mother of television host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing after attending a family dinner on January 31. She was later dropped off at home by her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni.

Relatives arrived at Guthrie's home around 11:56 a.m. on Feb.1, after a churchgoer called Guthrie's family to report that Guthrie did not attend church.

In the early days of the investigation, Annie and Tommaso’s car was seized for more than 30 days. Law enforcement, the FBI, and forensic investigators were reportedly at their home multiple times, including taking photos inside the house at night. According to Jonathan Lee Riches, Cellebrite and ICAC personnel were also seen at the home, and neighbors were questioned during the investigation.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos later said Annie and Tommaso had been cleared in the case.

As of May 4, Guthrie has not been located, and the investigation remains ongoing.
