The FBI and Pima County police have spent 19 days searching for Nancy Guthrie, as of February 20, 2026, yet there is no news of her whereabouts. Nancy, the 84-year-old mother of Today Show co-anchor, Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her Tucson, Arizona, home under mysterious circumstances on the midnight of January 31, 2026 (ET). After weeks of investigation, the officials found blood trails, some ransom notes, gloves of a masked intruder outside Nancy’s house and also a doorcam video of the same person. Amid that, US President, Trump weighed in on the reporting of the investigation.
President, Trump criticised the publicising of the process of searching for Nancy Guthrie
In a recent press briefing aboard Air Force One, President, Donald Trump slammed the investigative tactics used in the search for Nancy Guthrie, the aged mother of Savannah Guthrie, as reported by Fox News. Trump argued that by reporting the search for the pacemaker before the process even began, investigators may have inadvertently warned the abductors. He suggested this could lead them to take drastic measures, such as harming Nancy, to prevent the device from being detected. Trump called the particular move “crazy” and was unable to fathom why the FBI or Pima County authorities would decide on such a “strategy”.
