Nancy Guthrie Update Investigator Shares New Photo Of Tommaso Cioni At School Something About His Eyes

Jonathan Lee Riches, or JLR, who has been covering the case from Tucson toward the start, shared the photo of Cioni on X.

“Tommaso Cioni hanging out with people at school. Where is Nancy Guthrie?,” he wrote.

Notably, Tommaso Cioni is a middle school teacher and was at BASIS Oro Valley. The photo JLR shared showed him with his hands on the shoulders of two individuals in BASIS Oro Valley's attire – as was seen emblazoned across the purple tops. Their faces were blurred in the photo but Cioni was looking dead ahead at the camera.

The image drew a variety of reactions from people online.

One person remarked “Something about his eyes just give me a bad vibe.” Another added “Creepy. Shouldn’t touch students either." However, there's nothing to indicate that the people in the photo with Cioni were students and not staff members.

Yet another said “I agree his eyes are creepy in every picture he takes.” Meanwhile, others were much more supportive of Cioni, who has unnecessarily been subjected to public speculations ever since former NewsNation journalist Ashleigh Banfield had claimed that he might be a suspect in the case. Notably, her claim was quickly quashed by the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

“But you and I and your army dont know him. Its imo wrong judge him a horrific crime when 0 info. Is there any interviews of him? I wouldnt like being judged like that. Let those wo sin cast the first stone,” one person said in his defense. Another noted there was nothing unusual for a teacher to take a photo at school. “Yep, it's what teachers do...,” they wrote.
