Nancy Guthrie stepped out of her son-in-law’s car and into the dark — and was never seen again.
Minutes earlier, she’d been laughing over dinner with family.
Now her empty Tucson home is a crime scene, her celebrity daughter shattered, and the last man to see her alive is reliving every second of that drive, every word, every glanc…
Investigators say Tommaso Cioni did what any devoted son-in-law would do: he drove Nancy home, watched the 84-year-old walk safely through her front door, then pulled away, believing the night was over. Within hours, everything changed. When Savannah Guthrie’s mother didn’t answer calls, worry turned to panic. Deputies arrived to find no signs of forced entry, no struggle, just an unsettling stillness inside the Tucson house.
Now, with no suspects and no clear trail, the focus has narrowed to those final, ordinary moments: a family dinner, a short drive, a goodbye at the curb. Savannah, Annie, and Tommaso are trapped in a loop of what-ifs, clinging to the hope that Nancy simply walked into the wrong car, the wrong house, the wrong turn — any explanation but the unthinkable. Somewhere, they believe, those last quiet minutes still hold the key.
