In the days since, Guthrie has understandably stepped down from her planned coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics to be with her family and aid with the search (the anchor's Olympics replacement has officially been announced), with the TV star's Today family hosting a prayer vigil for her mother's safe return. There have also been swirling reports connected to the ongoing case, from alleged ransom notes to potential involvement from Guthrie's own family members.

Where has Ashleigh Banfield worked?
What is Ashleigh Banfield doing now?
Banfield's NewsNation primetime show, the fittingly titled Banfield, ended its run in January 2026 reportedly due to its host wanting to have more time to focus on her Drop Dead Serious podcast and digital content. She still remains a contributor to the network for trials and investigations.
The media personality launched Drop Dead Serious in January 2025; she puts out new episodes weekly.

Yes, Ashleigh Banfield is currently married to sales executive Chris Haynor; after three years together, the couple wed on December 29, 2017 — Banfield's 50th birthday — at the Hermitage Club ski lodge in Wilmington, Vermont. Banfield was previously married to real estate financier Howard Gould from 2004 to 2011.
What cases has Ashleigh Banfield cracked?
Seeing as how Banfield isn't law enforcement, she hasn't "cracked" cases per se, but she has covered several extensively. Along with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie this year, some recent investigations have included that of "doomsday mom" Elleshia Anne Seymour, the murder of Ohio couple Monique and Spencer Tepe, and the double murder plot of Virginia IRS agent Brendan Banfield (no relation).

What did Ashleigh Banfield say about Nancy Guthrie?
“There is some connection to Annie Guthrie’s car and Nancy Guthrie’s son-in-law, that would be Annie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni, age 50, from Tucson, Arizona, married to Annie P. Guthrie, Savannah’s sister,” Banfield explained. “And, my law enforcement source tells me that Tommaso Cioni is the prime suspect in this case.”
The journalist did add that police are continuing to investigate potential suspects and leads before making any arrest. "So just the fact that somebody has targeted or thinks someone may be a prime suspect does not mean there's going to be an arrest that's imminent," she said.
