Savannah Guthrie, anchor of "Today," is furious over initial allegations that her brother-in-law was a key suspect in the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, as revealed by her former NBC colleague Megyn Kelly.
Kelly disclosed that Guthrie was outraged after journalist Ashleigh Banfield suggested that Savannah’s brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, was linked to the February 1 kidnapping in Tucson, Arizona. Reports indicate that Guthrie is considering legal action against Banfield for the false accusation, especially since the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has publicly cleared the family of any involvement.
According to Kelly, Savannah Guthrie is upset over the false reports implicating her brother-in-law in the investigation into her missing mother. While it is not confirmed that the Guthrie family plans to sue Ashleigh Banfield, Savannah is indeed angered by the allegation and does not suspect her sister or brother-in-law of any wrongdoing.
Cioni and his wife, Annie Guthrie, were the last individuals known to have seen Nancy after having dinner with her the night before her disappearance, according to investigators. Shortly after Nancy went missing, Banfield mentioned on air, based on a single law enforcement source, that Cioni was a potential suspect.
Despite Sheriff Chris Nanos stating that there were no persons of interest in the case, Banfield stood by her reporting.
