Guthrie family – Today show hosts Savannah and siblings Annie and Cameron, have repeatedly pleaded for their mother’s safe return. However, the alleged appointment of PI indicates that they want to move things at a faster pace. This is understandable as it has been more than a week since the 84-year-old has been missing Investigators believe time is of the essence in this case because Guthrie is unlikely to fare well without his daily medication. His medication was found at his home and reports indicate he has heart problems, high blood pressure and uses a pacemaker.
The Guthrie Family Detective: What to KnowThe man, who identified himself as PI, was seen driving a white car, possibly a Toyota. A local journalist shared a video of the man.
“Shortly before, a man who tells us he was a private investigator in the family came to Nancy Guthrie’s home and spoke with a sheriff’s deputy on site. He also dropped what appeared to be some additional security signs,” Person X wrote.
The clip shows a man wearing sunglasses driving a car with a shaved head. The PI’s name is still unknown although some at X claim it is ‘Steve’. One person also claimed that the shirt the PI was wearing was worn by their son, a Marine. HT.com could not independently verify these claims Notably, this does not mention Steve Fisher, another PI, who came into the limelight when asked to look into the Celeste Rivas-D4VD case.
However, the Guthrie family hired a PI to set the tongue wagging and garnered a lot of backlash.
Guthrie Family PI ResponseOne person wrote on X “Now the family is bringing in the investigators? This is probably getting out of hand at this point. I believe the family knows a lot more then what is being said!!”.
Another added, “Tells you a lot about how the family feels about the investigative skills!! A lot!”. “They should have done it that day,” said another.
The family’s move comes as there has been a lot of public attention for the Guthrie’s daughter Annie and her husband Tommaso Cioni. They were among the last people before Guthrie was taken away. The Octobnarian had dinner with his daughter on the night of her disappearance and reports indicate that Sioni dropped her off at home. Authorities are also canvassing Annie’s neighborhood, which is close to where Guthrie was taken.
Authorities visited their home multiple times during the investigation and took items they believed could help find Guthrie. However, contrary to social media speculation about the couple, neither Annie nor Sioni have been involved in the matter.
