1,500 Tips. A $1 Million Reward. And Now an Innocent Man Says His Life Has Become “HeII.” The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie has exploded nationwide — generating more than 1,500 tips since a $1 million reward was announced. But as the investigation intensifies, an Arizona elementary school teacher says online sleuths wrongly turned him into a suspect — despite never being named by law enforcement. Dominic Evans says strangers showed up outside his home. His family hid in the dark. SWAT activity nearby fueled even more panic. Sheriff officials say he is not a suspect. Meanwhile, surveillance footage of a masked figure outside Nancy’s home — and the massive reward — continue to drive speculation. With thousands of leads pouring in, investigators are sorting truth from rumor. Who is responsible? And could one of those 1,500 tips finally break the case?

NEED TO KNOW

A man who became the focus of online sleuths interested in the Nancy Guthrie case spoke to The New York Times about living in fear after his name began circulating

Dominic Evans, an elementary school teacher who has never been named a suspect by law enforcement and who hasn’t been contacted by police for weeks, says several people showed up outside his house believing he was a person of interest

Evans told the paper he was bandmates with Guthrie’s son-in-law but that he had only met her once

The lack of answers surrounding the apparent kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie has had real-life consequences for an Arizona man who became the focus of several online sleuths.

Dominic Evans, a fifth-grade teacher and a bandmate of Guthrie’s son-in-law, spoke to The New York Times about his nightmarish experience since his name began circulating online as a potential suspect in the search for the missing 84-year-old — despite the fact that law enforcement never named him one.

“I feel like someone’s taken my name,” Evans told the Times. But for what reasons? “I don’t know — monetary, clickbait, to be relevant, entertainment — but there are innocent people that get hurt.”

According to the Times, Evans spoke to law enforcement once in the wake of Guthrie’s disappearance, weeks ago, and has not been contacted since.

Regardless, Evans said he became the target of significant online speculation.

After his name emerged online, Evans, who only met Guthrie once, told the paper that he and his wife, a school principal, were too afraid to pick up their son from his grandmother’s home and that they hid in their bedroom with the lights off.

Further, the Times reported, when a SWAT team was dispatched to a home two weeks after Guthrie vanished, Evans said several people showed up outside his home thinking that’s where the team was heading. In reality, they had been sent to search a home 30 minutes away.

“This one felt really, really, really scary, because it was like everyone was waiting for someone to come to our house,” Evans reportedly said.

The Times spoke to Chris Nanos, the Pima County Sheriff, about Evans’ experiences.

“He’s going through hell, and it is horrible,” Sheriff Nanos said. “And I don’t know what to tell him except he probably should be speaking with some attorneys and sue some of these people for libel.”

The paper reported that Evans’ name emerged because of his connection to Tommaso Cioni, Guthrie’s son-in-law, who also has been a target of speculation online.

Nanos has since ruled out Guthrie’s family members as suspects.

 

Guthrie, the mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing on Feb. 1 after she failed to show up for church.

She is believed by authorities to have been kidnapped and law enforcement has since circulated surveillance footage showing a masked, armed person appearing to tamper with Nancy’s doorbell camera outside her home in Tucson, Ariz.

The Guthrie family is offering a reward of up to $1 million for information that leads to Nancy’s recovery, while the FBI is offering a reward of $100,000.

Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine found that “SuperAgers” — people in their 80s and 90s with razor-sharp memory — have 2x more young neurons than healthy adults… and even more than people decades younger. The study, published in Nature, suggests the aging brain can actually regenerate itself. So what’s their secret — and can the rest of us unlock it? Read more below.
