Nancy Guthrie’s son-in-law Tommaso Cioni disappears from public view as quirk in law could mean his home is being searched without his consent

Nancy Guthrie’s son-in-law hasn’t been seen in a week, but police and the FBI can search his home without his consent, even without a warrant.

Tommaso Cioni was the last person to see the missing mother of NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie before she disappeared in the early hours of February 1.

He and his wife, Guthrie’s sister Annie Guthrie, live in a spacious $675,000 ranch-style home about four miles from Nancy’s home in Tucson, Arizona.

Annie constantly appears alongside Savannah in the videos, pleading with Nancy’s kidnappers to bring her back unharmed.

He was with Guthrie when she appealed for more information on Tuesday and shared terrifying new footage showing a masked figure wearing latex gloves outside Nancy’s door on the night she disappeared.

But Cioni, 50, has not been seen since the Daily Mail spotted him leaving with Annie on February 3 and returning home.

The Italian teacher is believed to be hiding out with Guthrie and his siblings in a nearby $1.2 million mansion in a gated, residents-only compound, away from prying eyes.

Despite his absence, Pima County Sheriff’s deputies searched Cioni’s home multiple times, including an overnight inspection on Saturday.

Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy, was kidnapped from her $1 million home in the Catalina Hills neighborhood of Tucson, Arizona, in the early morning hours of February 1.

Officers inspecting the home were seen going through the house again, Annie said, but Cioni was not seen.

However, as long as Annie is there to give them access, the police do not need her permission to search the house, even if they don’t have a warrant.

Two U.S. Supreme Court cases ruled that police can search a shared home, such as a military residence, if one of the occupants is there and gives consent.

If another resident had been present when police arrived to conduct a search and denied access, officers would have had to return with a search warrant.

This was established in the 2006 case of Georgia v Randolph, when a couple disagreed over allowing police into their home.

But if the other resident is not physically present, their refusal does not prevent another resident from allowing police entry.

A second case in 2014, Fernandez v. California, ruled on this rule after a woman beaten in a domestic violence attack allowed police to search their shared apartment.

The boyfriend denied police access when they first arrived, but was detained when officers returned to conduct a search.

Pima County and federal records do not show any warrant application indicating that a warrant was granted to search Annie and Cioni’s property.

This masked figure was seen outside Nancy Guthrie’s door the morning she disappeared.

It is not known whether Cioni objected to the police searching the house he shared with Annie, and he may have told the police they could look inside whenever they wanted.

Cioni and Annie have been married since 2006 and have one young child.

‘Many of you observed an active law enforcement presence at Guthrie residences over the weekend,’ police said in a statement Monday.

This came after investigators searched Annie’s home, including taking photographs inside the property for several hours, though it’s unclear what evidence, if any, was collected.

Drone footage was also released showing investigators removing the projector from Nancy’s home after it was revealed that a ransom note specifically referenced that hardware.

A security camera on the exterior of the property was also removed Monday.

Such activity is expected to continue through Tuesday, the sheriff’s department said.

Last week, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said he had not ruled out Cioni or anyone else as a suspect in his investigation into Nancy’s abduction.

Nancy had dinner at Annie and Cioni’s house before Cioni dropped her off at around 9:45 pm on January 31.

Cioni said she watched her mother-in-law enter her home from the garage before she drove off.

Investigators found drops of blood on Nancy’s front porch, later confirmed to be hers, and said the doorbell camera was disconnected around 1:45 a.m.

Less than 30 minutes later, the security camera detected movement. His pacemaker soon stopped transferring data to his Apple Watch and phone, indicating he was moved out of range of the devices.

Police on Tuesday released footage of a suspect tampering with Nancy’s security camera the night she disappeared.

The figure wearing a balaclava was seen tampering with Nancy’s Nest’s doorbell camera. It is not clear whether the person is a man or a woman, but some images show a beard above his upper lip.

FBI Director Kash Patel, who released the images, said teams with the bureau and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department were working to recover data in back-end systems.

“As of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered this new, previously inaccessible footage showing an armed individual who appears to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning she disappeared,” he said.

Cioni and Annie have been married since 2006 and have one young child.

Investigators were filmed conducting a search of the home of Savannah Guthrie’s sister Annie late Saturday night, amid a search for new evidence of her missing mother, Nancy.

The gun-like thing inside the holster appears to be clipped to them; One picture shows them with what looks like a pen light in their mouth.

The suspect ripped the Nest camera from its holder in the door frame; The camera was missing when sheriff’s deputies arrived at the scene that morning.

Video later released by authorities shows the man trying to cover the lens with a clenched fist before searching the area around the door and plucking a bunch of flowers from the entryway and waving it at the camera.

Nancy did not have a Nest subscription to upload and save images to a cloud storage platform. This meant it took researchers longer to extract images from the camera.

The footage was released after investigators asked Nancy’s household staff to submit DNA samples that they wanted to compare to samples found at the grandmother’s home.

Savannah shared the haunting photos on her Instagram page and said: ‘We believe he is still alive. Bring him home.’
