Pop culture commentator Zack Peter raised questions after Nancy Guthrie’s son-in-law, Tommaso, was spotted outside her Tucson home amid the ongoing investigation. Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother has been missing from her home since February 1, and authorities have been investigating the disappearance as a suspected kidnapping.
Independent journalist JLR Investigates has been closely covering the case in Tucson. During his April 6 livestream, the journalist captured Annie Guthrie’s husband visiting Nancy Guthrie’s home. Zack Peter reacted to Tommaso’s presence at Guthrie’s home on his Tuesday podcast.
Peter has previously cast doubt on Annie and Tommaso after Nancy Guthrie disappeared. Reacting to the clip showing Tommaso visiting his missing mother-in-law’s home, the podcaster commented:
“Toamaso has decided he’s going to check out the, I don’t know, his future home. I don’t know if he’s getting ready to move in… Look at Tommaso. Look, he looks angry. Damn it. ‘How are we going to keep this body hidden?’ He looks very angry.”
Zack Peter added that he was joking and not trying to incriminate or defame anyone. However, the podcaster mentioned that he discussed the theory of Annie and Tommaso’s involvement on Heather McDonald’s podcast and added:
“I was talking with Heather McDonald about it… I was thinking about it, and I was like, ‘Oh, but if Annie and Tommy… move into Nancy’s house, then Annie and Tommy can sell their house, liquidate those assets, and then they have a house to move into that I’m assuming is already paid off… Then they can take the money, live off the money from the sale of the house.’ Like, there are motivations here, right? So there would be a potential motive, right?”
The podcaster further questioned why the authorities have been investigating the case as a kidnapping and not as a homicide.
Zack Peter scrutinizes Annie and Tommaso in the Nancy Guthrie case
In the April 7 episode of Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald, Zack Peter discussed Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance and Savannah Guthrie’s return to the Today show. Peter said that after reviewing several theories in the unsolved case, his suspicion rests on Annie and Tommaso.
He said, statistically, somebody close to the victim commits a crime. Peter cast doubt on Nancy Guthrie’s daughter and son-in-law and said:
“Well, who had the financial motivation? Well, Annie is a poet, and Tommaso is a substitute teacher, and they just bought a house last summer. So how are they funding their life if it wasn’t motivated or if it wasn’t linked back to possibly Nancy, who they were also taking care of?”
On the other hand, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has already cleared the Guthrie family as potential suspects in the case. Savannah Guthrie also addressed the speculations about Annie and Tommaso’s role. The NBC host, in her interview with Hoda Kotb, said that nobody could have taken better care of Nancy Guthrie than her sister and brother-in-law.
Zack Peter also questioned why Savannah Guthrie did not pay the ransom when she thought that the two notes were real. On Monday, TMZ received additional notes seemingly from the same person who made a demand for Bitcoin in February. In the new notes, the tipster claimed to have seen Nancy Guthrie in Mexico.
