Share this @internewscast.com

President Donald Trump committed on Tuesday to reaching out personally to NBC “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie, following the unsettling news of her mother’s suspected abduction in Tucson, Arizona. He promised to offer additional federal resources to assist in the search efforts.

Nancy Guthrie, aged 84, was last seen at her residence around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday. Her family reported her missing by midday on Sunday, as confirmed by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.

Authorities have refrained from providing detailed information about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance. However, they currently suspect that Nancy Guthrie may have been kidnapped or abducted, particularly as blood was discovered outside her home.

Amid a Q&A session in the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Trump expressed his thoughts on the matter, indicating he is contemplating the deployment of additional federal agents to aid in the investigation.

Trump remarked, “I think it’s terrible. I’m going to call [Savannah Guthrie] later on. I think it’s a terrible thing. … Very unusual situation, but we’re going to find out.”

Despite the pair’s showdown in an October 2020 NBC town hall, Trump added, “I always got along very good with Savannah.”

During the Miami town hall, Savannah Guthrie pressed Trump on his administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and his social media reposts questioning Osama bin Laden’s death.

At one point, she accused Trump of “sending a lie” to his followers, comparing him to “someone’s crazy uncle.”

While the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and FBI continue to investigate Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, officials on Tuesday confirmed they are “aware” of reports of a possible ransom note.

“We are aware of reports circulating about possible ransom note(s) regarding the investigation into Nancy Guthrie,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a statement Tuesday afternoon. “Anything that comes in, goes directly to our detectives who are coordinating with the FBI.”

News outlets TMZ and KOLD 13 News announced on Tuesday they received unverified ransom notes demanding money for Nancy Guthrie’s return.

The note received by TMZ reportedly demanded millions in Bitcoin cryptocurrency, with the outlet verifying the Bitcoin address was “real.” 

TMZ said the letter, which was sent to authorities, included unreleased details about her disappearance and had a deadline.

It is unclear if the notes received by TMZ and KOLD are identical.

Anyone with information on the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie is asked to call the tipline at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

NBC did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
