President Donald Trump expressed hope that investigators will find Nancy Guthrie, the missing mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie, as the high-profile case continues to draw national attention nearly five months after her disappearance.

Investigation Ongoing

Trump’s brief remarks come as the search for the 84-year-old Arizona woman enters its 20th week and follows emotional pleas from Savannah Guthrie for the public to come forward with information. A federal law enforcement source familiar with the investigation told Fox News that a second ransom note sent to the family claimed Nancy Guthrie had died shortly after being abducted from her home in the Catalina Foothills north of Tucson.

Authorities have not confirmed the authenticity of the notes, and investigators have not identified who sent them. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told Fox News Digital that investigators and the FBI have examined numerous ransom communications throughout the case, with some determined to be fraudulent and others considered potentially credible.

Nancy Guthrie was reported missing after disappearing from her Tucson-area home in early February. The FBI, Pima County Sheriff’s Office, and other law enforcement agencies continue to investigate the case. Savannah Guthrie has repeatedly vowed that her family will continue searching for answers.
