Former President Donald Trump has personally intervened in the urgent search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of prominent TODAY show anchor Savannah Guthrie, who disappeared from her Arizona property under mysterious circumstances.
Federal Resources Mobilised Following Presidential Directive
In a significant development on Wednesday evening, Donald Trump announced on his TruthSocial platform that he had spoken directly with Savannah Guthrie and was deploying all available federal law enforcement resources to assist in the search for her missing mother. The former president declared he was directing ALL Federal Law Enforcement to be at the complete disposal of both the family and local authorities immediately.
"We are deploying all resources to get her mother home safely," Trump wrote in his social media post. "The prayers of our Nation are with her and her family. GOD BLESS AND PROTECT NANCY! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP."
Disturbing Scene at Catalina Foothills Property
The investigation took a dramatic turn on Wednesday night when federal agents arrived at Nancy Guthrie's $1 million adobe-style home in the affluent Catalina Foothills neighbourhood of Arizona. This followed local police having initially returned the property to the family earlier in the week.
A pickup truck from the Pima County Sheriff's Department accompanied two carloads of FBI investigators to the scene. Authorities promptly taped off the residence, with agents remaining inside the property until at least 5:30pm local time as they conducted their examination.
Disturbing evidence of a potential struggle remains visible at the home, including the removal of Nancy's Ring doorbell and what appears to be blood splatter near the entrance door. The 84-year-old mother-of-three lives alone at the property, where investigators discovered her personal belongings including her phone, wallet, and car following her disappearance on Saturday, January 31st.
Critical Timeline Evidence from Medical Technology
Investigators have uncovered potentially crucial timing evidence through Nancy Guthrie's medical devices. An Apple Watch found inside the property stopped syncing with her pacemaker at approximately 2am, suggesting she may have been taken from her home around that time.
Nancy was last seen on Saturday evening when her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, dropped her off at her Arizona property. He remains the last confirmed person to have seen her before her disappearance.
Investigative Focus on Celebrity Connection
Law enforcement officials are exploring multiple angles in their investigation, including whether Nancy Guthrie may have been targeted specifically because of her daughter's high-profile television career. Investigators have reportedly contacted NBC to inquire about any troubling fan interactions involving Savannah Guthrie that could be relevant to the case.
As revealed earlier on Wednesday, officers are examining Savannah Guthrie's superfans who have previously sent her gifts and mail. While no suspect has been identified and police maintain there is no immediate danger to the wider public, investigators have not ruled out the possibility that Nancy's disappearance relates directly to her daughter's celebrity status.
The search for Nancy Guthrie continues into its fourth day with heightened intensity following the presidential intervention and substantial federal resource deployment.
