Newly uncovered phone records and financial documents have placed Tomasso Cioni and Anna— the couple whose silver Range Rover was seized during a SWAT operation on February 13, 2026—directly in contact with a man identified as Gonçalves in the days leading up to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance from her Catalina Foothills home in Tucson. The revelation, confirmed by sources close to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and federal investigators, has intensified scrutiny on the pair and shifted the investigation toward potential financial motives intertwined with the abduction.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen alive on the evening of January 31, 2026, when family members dropped her off at her residence. She failed to appear at church the following morning, prompting relatives to conduct a welfare check around noon on February 1. They discovered blood on the front porch, leading to an immediate kidnapping classification. Forensic analysis confirmed the blood as Nancy’s, while FBI analysis of her Nest doorbell camera recovered footage of a masked male suspect tampering with the device at 1:47 a.m. and disconnecting her pacemaker monitoring app at 2:28 a.m.

Tomasso Cioni and Anna first entered the public spotlight when their silver Range Rover—license plates obscured—was towed from a Culver’s parking lot during the February 13 raid near East Orange Grove Road and North First Avenue, roughly two miles from Nancy’s home. Three individuals were detained for questioning at related scenes, though all were released without charges. Investigators wrapped the vehicle in evidence tape before removal, suggesting sensitive contents or forensic potential.

Court-authorized disclosures obtained in recent weeks reveal that between January 28 and January 31, 2026, multiple calls and text exchanges occurred between a phone registered to Tomasso Cioni and a number attributed to an individual known as Gonçalves. The calls averaged 7–12 minutes, with the longest occurring late on January 30—hours before Nancy was dropped off at home. Financial records show Cioni and Anna were under significant strain: overdue mortgage payments on two properties, maxed credit lines, and a recent repossession notice on a secondary vehicle. Bank statements indicate several large cash withdrawals in the weeks prior, some aligning with dates of the Gonçalves contacts.

Sources familiar with the investigation describe Gonçalves as a “known associate” in Arizona’s informal cash-lending and asset-transfer circles, though he has no prior felony convictions related to kidnapping or violence. Detectives are examining whether the communications involved arranging a short-term loan, a payment for services, or something more sinister—such as hiring assistance for a planned removal or relocation of Nancy. One theory under active review is that Nancy may have been targeted for her assets: she owned her home outright, held modest investment accounts, and had recently discussed estate planning with family.

The phone records also show location data placing Cioni’s device within a 4-mile radius of Nancy’s home between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. on February 1—overlapping the window of the doorbell tampering and pacemaker disconnection. Cell-tower pings indicate movement consistent with someone leaving the Catalina Foothills area shortly after 3:00 a.m. and heading south toward Tucson’s outskirts. Anna’s phone remained stationary at their residence during the same period, though investigators are probing whether multiple devices were used.

Witness statements collected during expanded neighborhood canvassing describe seeing a silver SUV matching the towed Range Rover idling near a drainage wash about 1.5 miles from Nancy’s property in the early hours of February 1. The same wash is where black gloves—matching those worn by the masked suspect—were recovered days later. DNA results from the gloves, announced earlier in February, yielded a profile that has been compared against known samples; while officials have not confirmed a match to Cioni or Anna, sources indicate “significant investigative interest” in the pair following the phone and location disclosures.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, in a brief press availability, acknowledged “multiple active lines of inquiry” but declined to comment on specific individuals or communications. The FBI, co-leading the case, doubled the reward to $100,000 for information leading to Nancy’s location or the arrest and conviction of those responsible. Tips continue through 1-800-CALL-FBI and local channels, with authorities urging verifiable leads over speculation.

Nancy’s medical condition adds urgency. Dependent on daily heart medications and a pacemaker, prolonged absence without access to care severely threatens her survival. Savannah Guthrie has publicly refused to negotiate ransom demands without proof of life, emphasizing her mother’s fragility. Multiple Bitcoin-related notes sent to media outlets have not produced confirmed contact or progress.

For Tomasso Cioni and Anna, the emerging details have intensified scrutiny. Neighbors describe the couple as reserved but polite; public records show no prior criminal history in Arizona. Yet the combination of financial distress, suspicious phone contacts, proximity data, and the seized vehicle has made them persons of significant interest. Neither has been charged, and both were released after earlier questioning.

The investigation remains multi-agency and active. Forensic teams continue analyzing the towed Range Rover, while digital forensics examine cloud backups, deleted messages, and financial trails. Neighborhood canvassing, desert sweeps, and review of additional surveillance footage persist. The case has gripped Tucson, with community vigils ongoing and residents increasingly vigilant about elderly safety in upscale areas.

Whether Gonçalves represents a key witness, intermediary, or something more sinister remains unclear. Investigators are working to locate and interview him, though sources indicate he has not yet been found at known addresses. Until concrete evidence emerges—DNA match, witness corroboration, or recovery of Nancy—the timeline linking Cioni, Anna, and the mysterious call to Gonçalves stands as one of the most promising yet troubling threads in a case that has kept a daughter and a community waiting in anguish.
