As concern continues to ripple across the country, Donald Trump has publicly addressed the disappearance of TODAY host Savannah Guthrie’s mother, calling the situation “terrible” and deeply troubling. Speaking during a press briefing on February 3, Trump responded to a question about the case that has dominated national headlines, signaling both personal concern and federal attention as authorities search for answers.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing since the early hours of January 3, after reportedly going to bed at her home in Catalina Foothills, north of Tucson, Arizona, and never emerging. Local authorities have since escalated the case into a criminal investigation, stating they believe she was taken from her home against her will. Law enforcement officials have confirmed that searches have been conducted both on the ground and from the air, and evidence found at the residence has raised further alarm about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.When asked directly about the case, Trump told reporters that he planned to personally reach out to Savannah Guthrie. “I think it’s terrible,” he said, adding that he has always had a positive relationship with the longtime television host. He also pledged that federal resources would be made available to assist Arizona authorities, emphasizing the urgency of resolving what he described as an “unusual” and distressing situation.

As investigators continue their work, local officials have urged the public to come forward with any information that could help locate Nancy, noting that she has serious health needs and requires regular medication. Savannah Guthrie, who was absent from the TODAY show during the early days of the search, later shared a message of faith and gratitude on social media, asking for continued prayers and support. For now, the family and the wider public remain united in hope that the ongoing investigation will lead to answers — and, above all, to Nancy’s safe return.
