Nancy Guthrie’s Son-in-Law Seen in ‘Different Light’ After ‘Creepy’ Videos Resurface

Three months after 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie vanished without a trace, the internet has found a new obsession — and it’s turning heads.

Newly resurfaced videos of her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, are making the rounds online, showing the teacher in a completely different light… and not everyone knows what to make of it.

Cioni, a sixth-grade science and AP Biology teacher at BASIS Oro Valley School in Tucson, had already been under intense scrutiny after Nancy disappeared on February 1. Now, clips pulled from school social media are adding fuel to the fire — and dividing armchair detectives like never before.

In one video, Cioni is seen cooking pasta during a school “project week,” playfully gesturing in a stereotypical Italian style as students laugh along. Another clip shows him joking around with kids, attempting a goofy breakdancing routine tied to the Olympics.

At first glance, it’s harmless. Maybe even wholesome.

But online? Not so fast.

“He creeps me out!” one commenter wrote bluntly.

“This is just weird. He always looks mad,” another added.

Others zeroed in on his demeanor, calling him “unapproachable” and “kind of mean,” despite the lighthearted setting.

Still, not everyone is ready to jump to conclusions.

Some viewers pushed back, arguing the clips actually humanize Cioni — showing a teacher trying to engage with his students.

“I don’t see anything concerning,” one person wrote. “If anything, he seems like a good teacher who enjoys his job.”

Another added a dose of perspective: “This helps me see him as a human being instead of a monster. If he turns out to be innocent, people are going to regret how quickly they judged him.”

The renewed attention comes as the case itself remains eerily quiet.

Nancy Guthrie — mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie — was last seen the night of February 1, after having dinner with her daughter Annie and son-in-law Cioni. The couple dropped her off at her Tucson home around 9:30 p.m.

By the next day, panic had set in.

When Nancy failed to show up for church, Annie called 911 — triggering a desperate search that has now stretched on for more than three months with no major breakthroughs.

Despite a staggering $1 million reward offered by the family, leads have dried up.

And while early reports claimed Cioni was considered a “prime suspect,” authorities have since publicly cleared the Guthrie family — leaving investigators back at square one.

Savannah Guthrie herself stepped away from the Today show for over a month to be in Tucson during the search, only returning to work in early April as hope began to fade.

Now, with the case stalled and emotions running high, these resurfaced videos are reopening old questions — and stirring new ones.

Is this just a misunderstood teacher caught in the crosshairs of internet speculation?

Or is there something more beneath the surface?

For now, one thing is certain: Nancy Guthrie is still missing… and the mystery is only getting stranger.
