Three months after beloved 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie vanished without a trace, the internet is once again buzzing — and this time, it’s all about her son-in-law.
Newly resurfaced videos of Tommaso Cioni, a teacher who was once under intense scrutiny in the case, are making the rounds online — and people can’t agree on what they’re seeing.
In the clips, Cioni appears far removed from the grim headlines that have surrounded him. The sixth-grade science teacher is shown joking with students, cooking pasta during a school project, and even attempting some lighthearted breakdancing moves. In one moment, he flashes a playful Italian gesture, leaning into the role of a fun, energetic educator.
But not everyone is buying the lighter side.

“He creeps me out,” one viewer wrote bluntly after watching the footage. Others piled on, calling his demeanor “weird,” “unapproachable,” and even “mean-looking,” despite the upbeat setting.
Still, a surprising number of commenters pushed back, saying the clips humanized a man who had been unfairly judged in the court of public opinion.
“This actually makes me see him as a normal person,” one user admitted. “If he’s innocent, people are going to regret how quickly they turned on him.”
Cioni’s name has been tied to the case since day one. He and his wife, Annie Guthrie, were the last known people to see Nancy alive after hosting her for dinner the night before she disappeared from her Tucson home on February 1.
When Nancy failed to show up for church the next morning — something completely out of character — panic set in. A 911 call launched a desperate search that, even now, has led nowhere.
Early reports claimed Cioni was considered a “prime suspect,” but authorities later said the entire Guthrie family had been cleared. Still, suspicion has lingered in online circles, where armchair detectives continue to dissect every detail.
The case has only grown more haunting with time. Despite a staggering $1 million reward, no solid leads have emerged. Nancy’s daughter, Savannah Guthrie, even stepped away from her duties on the Today show for over a month to focus on the search before returning to work in April.
And now, just when the trail seemed to be going cold, these resurfaced videos have thrown gasoline on the fire.
Are they harmless glimpses into a teacher’s personality — or something more unsettling?
For now, Nancy Guthrie remains missing, and the questions just keep getting louder.
