The search for NBC Star Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother has officially entered its second week.
As the Guthrie family has released several videos addressing a potential kidnapper who they believe is holding their mother for ransom, authorities are leaving no stone unturned and have even searched the home of Nancy Guthrie’s daughter, Annie Guthrie.
Reporters stationed near Annie’s home reported that late Saturday night, authorities arrived and conducted a search of her home.
People provided more in-depth details on why authorities may be searching Annie Guthrie’s home:
Authorities have searched the home of Annie Guthrie amid the ongoing search for her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who is being held for ransom.
As the search for Nancy, 84, continues, law enforcement officials were seen at the residence of Annie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, late in the evening of Saturday, Feb. 7, just hours after Annie and siblings Savannah and Camron Guthrie shared a new video message for their mom’s potential kidnapper.
Annie’s property is located approximately four miles from her mother’s longtime home in Tucson, where she was taken in the middle of the night on Jan. 31, authorities said.
Tracy Walder, a former CIA and FBI special agent, tells PEOPLE that ahead of searching Annie and Cioni’s property, law enforcement officials “may have either asked Annie’s permission,” obtained a search warrant or both.
Authorities, including at least one official with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD), searched Annie’s home from about 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. local time. After over two and a half hours, one official was seen exiting the home while carrying a white suitcase and brown bag. Another was seen wearing blue gloves.
“All that white case is — is evidence processing tools. The brown bag is for evidence,” Walder tells PEOPLE of the scene at Annie’s home.
“The back and forth is of course odd and we don’t see that a lot,” she adds of the searching parties’ behavior, which she says could be attributed to “so many things” such as “reactions to ransom note details, new suspects emerging, request by the family, etc.”

Parade provided background info on Annie Guthrie:
Annie Guthrie is the older sister of TODAY co-anchor and television personality Savannah Guthrie. She is an author, poet and jeweler who lives in Tucson, Arizona with her husband Tommaso Cioni. She is a publicity and marketing director for Kore Press. She also teaches oracular writing at the University of Arizona Poetry Center and her poetry book—The Good Dark—was published by Tupelo Press in 2015.
Annie and Tommaso are reportedly the last people who saw Nancy Guthrie before she disappeared. The couple went out to dinner with the Guthrie matriarch on the evening of Saturday, January 31, upon which Cioni dropped the 84-year-old at her Catalina Foothills, Arizona home between 9:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m.
When Nancy didn’t show up for church the following morning, friends grew concerned and contacted the Guthrie family.
