President Donald Trump has publicly addressed the disturbing case involving the apparent abduction of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of prominent Today Show host Savannah Guthrie. Breaking his silence on the matter, the President offered his condolences and committed significant federal resources to aid the investigation in Tucson, Arizona.
Trump's Response and Pledge of Assistance
Speaking to reporters during a press gaggle following the signing of a bill to reopen the government after a partial shutdown, President Trump expressed his dismay at the situation. 'I think it's terrible,' he stated emphatically, describing the incident as 'very unusual.' He went on to confirm that he has agreed to deploy federal law enforcement assets to Tucson to assist local authorities with the case, vowing to get to the bottom of what happened.
Personal Connection and Planned Communication
Demonstrating a personal touch, President Trump revealed his intention to reach out directly to Savannah Guthrie. 'I'm going to call her later on,' he announced, adding, 'I always got along very good with Savannah.' This gesture underscores the high-profile nature of the case and the personal concern being shown at the highest levels of government.
Details of the Disappearance
The investigation, as detailed by the lead investigator to the Daily Mail, indicates that Nancy Guthrie was taken from her bed overnight on Saturday. Her disappearance was formally reported on Sunday after she failed to attend her usual church service, triggering a widespread search and media alert.
This remains a developing news story, with authorities actively pursuing all leads. The involvement of federal resources, as pledged by President Trump, is expected to intensify the investigative efforts in Tucson to resolve this alarming case swiftly.
