Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni would depend on Nancy Guthrie from time to time, a friend has revealed, as the search continues for the 84-year-old.
Guthrie was reported missing by her family on February 1, and authorities believe she was taken from her home the night before.
A friend, Mary Ann Blevins, revealed that Guthrie would help her daughter and son-in-law out by picking up their child and watching over him while the parents might have been busy.
This would save on having to keep a babysitter for those specific times, as Tommaso is a teacher and Annie is a poet and jeweler.
Guthrie's friend had spoken glowingly of her, saying, 'Anybody that knows her and met her loves her,' adding, 'I don't think she has any enemies, and that's why this whole thing is very scary.'
