Savannah Guthrie is furious over claims linking her brother-in-law to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, according to former NBC colleague Megyn Kelly, who said on her SiriusXM programme in the US on March 12 that the Today host does not believe her sister Annie Guthrie or Tommaso Cioni were involved. The allegation is regarded as false within a wider and still unresolved investigation into Nancy's disappearance, and the central claims regarding possible suspects remain unconfirmed.
The latest row followed comments made by podcaster Ashleigh Banfield on the Feb. 3 episode of Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield, where she said a vehicle belonging to Annie had led to a theory that Cioni could be a prime suspect. Banfield's reporting drew fierce pushback as the Pima County Sheriff's Office had already sought to curb speculation about Nancy's relatives, stating the family were victims and that implying otherwise was wrong and cruel.
Kelly, citing what she said had been confirmed, told listeners that Savannah was 'livid about that report and definitely does not suspect her sister or her brother-in-law.' She added that Savannah's anger was hardly surprising if the claims involved people she loved, reflecting the weary common sense of someone familiar with how such stories spread.
