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.”

On Sunday, Feb. 8, authorities, including PCSD deputies and vehicles, were also seen at Nancy’s home. Officials used a pole to probe a manhole located on the property, behind the house, according to drone-captured images shared by Fox News’ Sarah Rumpf-Whitten on X.

There are currently no suspects or persons of interest in the investigation into Nancy’s disappearance, the PCSD said in the latest update, shared on the morning of Feb. 8.

“The Nancy Guthrie investigation is ongoing,” the department wrote. “Follow-up continues at multiple locations. No suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles have been identified. No scheduled press briefings.”

Five workers were saved. One technician died. Now a jury has to decide if I committed murder.  It started as a classroom thought experiment.  In Justice 101, Professor Sloane drew two tracks and a trolley on the board and asked who would pull the switch to save five people instead of one. Most of us raised our hands. Five lives felt heavier than one.  Two days later, it wasn’t philosophy anymore.  At 11:41 p.m., the emergency dashboard at Bayline Transit exploded in red warnings. A maintenance trolley had broken loose underground, racing downhill toward a repair crew.  “Five on the main line,” the dispatcher shouted. “One on the side spur. Switch control available.”  The senior dispatcher was down the hall, sick. The managers were yelling. And I was the only one standing in front of the monitor.  On the screen: five reflective vests clustered on one track.  On the other: a lone technician kneeling by a cable box, unaware.  The switch lever sat under a plastic guard. Clean. Simple. Final.  If I did nothing, five would die.  If I pulled it, one would.  I pulled it.  Five walked out of that tunnel alive. One didn’t.  Now prosecutors say a classroom theory doesn’t excuse a real-world death — and a jury has to decide whether saving more lives can still be a crime.  Full story in the comments 👇
🚨 A “new” viral video claiming to show María Julissa is actually a piece of 10-year-old footage being weaponized by cartel supporters. Following the death of El Mencho, Julissa has become the target of a massive smear campaign.  Despite her official denials, the rumor mill is spinning out of control, putting her life in immediate jeopardy over a lie. This is the dark side of social media: where a decade-old video can be used to sign someone’s death warrant in 2026. 🛡️👣  READ THE STATEMENT: See María Julissa’s desperate plea to clear her name in the comments. 👇
Seven months pregnant. Pinned to Major. And my own stepbrother drove his fist into my stomach in front of the entire hall.  The applause at Camp Lejeune hadn’t even faded when the doors burst open.  Sixteen years in the Marine Corps. Multiple deployments. That morning was supposed to be the moment everything paid off.  Instead, I hit the floor.  I remember the lights. The shouting. The metallic taste in my mouth. And my mother’s voice — not crying for her grandson, not screaming for help — but yelling at me:  “Don’t ruin his life. You can have another baby. Kyle is fragile.”  Fragile.  Hours later, a doctor stood at my bedside and told me my son was gone.  While I was still trying to breathe through the grief, my mother begged me not to press charges. Said family comes first. Said I owed it to him to stay quiet.  They expected me to protect the man who destroyed my child. They expected me to swallow it for the sake of a last name.  What they forgot is this:  I’m a Marine.  And when I started digging into Kyle’s past — the finances, the lies, the things my mother had been covering for years — I realized that punch wasn’t the first secret they’d buried.  It was just the one that exposed everything.  Full story in the first comment ⬇️
BEYOND THE BILLIONS. 🚨 We knew El Mencho was the world’s most wanted man, but the scene left behind in his mountain “love nest” reveals a side of the drug lord the public was never supposed to see. Even the most hardened Mexican officers were shaken by the discovery inside his kitchen. > Amidst the high-tech surveillance and armored vehicles, it was a simple household appliance that held the most twisted secret of his final hours. Some call it a ritual; others call it a warning. One thing is certain: the “Ghost of Jalisco” was living a nightmare of his own making before the first shot was even fired. 🛡️👣  FULL REPORT on the “Fridge Discovery” and the forensic photos in the comments. 👇
