True crime influencers have been blasted as ‘disrespectful’ after using Nancy Guthrie’s home as a backdrop for content, with nasty feuds erupting online over one streamer’s lack of clothing.
As last week came to an end and Nancy’s whereabouts remain a mystery, streamers have been setting up camp in front of Savannah Guthrie‘s mother’s home.
One influencer, who goes by Kiki, rocked up in leather micro-shorts, a crop top and motorcycle boots inciting an online feud as many condemned her for the ‘disrespectful’ display.
A photo of Kiki and her cameraman was uploaded on X by Jonathon Lee Riches, an investigative journalist, who captioned the photo: ‘A woman and her cameraman just arrived to Nancy Guthrie‘s home.’
The comments of the post quickly filled with ‘disgusted’ users who said her outfit was inappropriate.
‘Um, they do not appear to be serious news people,’ one said.
‘Seems like odd outfits to be wearing,’ another wrote.
‘Her boots cover more than her shorts, just sayin.’

‘I’m sorry but this is damn near blasphemous. I really feel sorry for the Guthrie family,’ a fourth comment said.
‘Is it just me that thinks this is extremely disrespectful to be doing a full on photo shoot with your ass cheeks hanging out in front of Nancy’s house.’
‘This seems to have devolved into a freak show outside Nancy’s house. The neighbors must be loving it.’
However, the negative attention had Kiki hit back.
‘I have to say thank you to JLR. You successfully turned all the attention from Nancy Guthrie and diverted it to me,’ she wrote in a separate post.
‘I think the FBI would applaud you for your job well done! While you were focusing all your attention [on] me, I was reporting the facts and raising awareness in my own video.’
In another comment, responding to a post where Riches said that she was having a photoshoot outside of Nancy’s home, Kiki clarified that she was shooting a video for her own channel.
Riches posted a follow-up declaring that Kiki declined an interview with him, to which she said: ‘That’s correct I declined to speak to you, because as a professional I’m busy working & can’t take meaningless interviews.’

In an aerial view, media reports across the road from the home of Nancy Guthrie on February 21
‘There is a woman missing, possibly dead. Get your priorities straight & stop making a mockery of case & people attempting to film just like YOU,’ she added.
The Criminal Network also posted about the scantily-clad streamer and questioned her motives for being on the site of Nancy’s home.
‘Raising awareness? You cussed me out and said I called you names which was not true. But now I will, you came off like a bitch Kiki. Neo or whatever his name is was actually respectful and shook my hand, you, not as much,’ the channel wrote.
Kiki, however, admitted to swearing at them and said that they ‘deserved every word’ alongside a video of herself flipping them off.
Criminal Network wrote: ‘Adults talking pay attention. Kiki, once this becomes about me or you, it’s no longer about Nancy, so unless you are helping to find her, respectfully STFU.’
‘I will no longer entertain you or your hidden motives. NANCY. Notice your name is not Nancy.’
The commotion comes as the search for Nancy surpassed a month after she vanished from her $1 million home in Tucson on February 1.
Nancy, the mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen at the house in Catalina Foothills on January 31, after attending dinner with her eldest daughter, Annie, and son-in-law Tommaso Cioni.

Authorities believe she was kidnapped or otherwise taken against her will.
Drops of her blood were found on the front porch, and eerie footage recovered from Nancy’s Nest doorbell camera showed an unidentified masked suspect standing at her front door in the early hours of February 1.
It is now believed that the suspect visited the house prior to the abduction, as one image showed the individual at her door without the backpack and gun holster he was seen carrying in the other footage.
Savannah Guthrie has raised the reward for any information leading to her kidnapped mother to $1 million.
‘We need to know where she is, we need her to come home,’ the Today host said in a teary-eyed video posted to her Instagram account.
She said the family still believes that Nancy could come home, as her sister Annie described their ongoing hunt as ‘blowing on the embers of hope’.
‘We also know that she may be lost, she may already be gone. She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves,’ Guthrie said through her tears.
The journalist added that if Nancy has died, they will ‘accept it,’ but the family still needs closure.

‘But we need to know where she is. We need her to come home. For that reason, we are offering a family reward of up to $1 million for any information that leads us to her recovery,’ Savannah said.
She then pleaded directly with Nancy’s kidnapper and anyone with information about her whereabouts, saying: ‘If you’ve been waiting and you haven’t been sure, let this be your sign to please come forward.
‘Tell what you know and help us bring our beloved mom home so that we can either celebrate a glorious, miraculous homecoming or celebrate the beautiful, brave, noble and courageous life that she has lived. Please be the light in the dark.’
The FBI received 750 calls within just 12 hours of Savannah posting the video, according to NBC News.
