The video was recovered from residual data located in back-end systems.”

Has a suspect been named in the Nancy Guthrie case?
No, as of press time, authorities have not identified the suspect. A man identified only as Carlos was detained during a traffic stop in Arizona for questioning on February 10, but was immediately released. He spoke to reporters later, insisting he was not a suspect and did not even know about the Guthrie family.
By the 12th, officials asked neighbors in the Tucson area to share any surveillance footage from their homes to Gateway in order to track the suspect.
Later that week, authorities briefly arrested three people at a home two miles from Nancy’s home. They were released shortly afterwards. Additionally, a man was arrested during a traffic stop near a restaurant, though he was also released. Sheriff Nanos told reporters that he was their “person of interest.”
By the fourth week of the investigation, the name of the suspect had not yet been revealed.
Why did people assume that Annie Guthrie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni, was a suspect?
Unfounded rumors have emerged about Savannah’s brother-in-law, Annie Guthriehusband, Tommaso CioneDuring the first week of the investigation. CNN reported that police were seen at Annie’s house amid the search for Nancy, but authorities did not reveal why they were there.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office shut down all speculation about possible suspects in a public statement shared on February 4.
“At this point, investigators have not identified the suspect or person of interest in this case,” the statement said. “Investigators continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Ms. Guthrie. Investigators are working closely with the Guthrie family. While we appreciate the public’s concern, sharing unverified accusations or false information is irresponsible and does not assist the investigation.”
