During a call on Tuesday, the U.S. President issued a stern warning, stating that those responsible for abducting Nancy will face the “most severe” consequences if she is harmed.
When questioned about whether the Department of Justice would pursue the death penalty, the President affirmed, “Yes, that’s true, the most severe penalties.”
Nancy was last seen at her home in Arizona on January 31, and concern arose when she failed to attend church the following day, prompting her to be reported missing.
On February 4, the President reached out to Savannah, offering federal assistance in the search for her missing mother.
Surveillance footage shows an individual, believed to be a man, wearing gloves, long sleeves, pants, and a balaclava.
Local authorities investigating the case have confirmed that multiple sources have issued ransom demands in connection with her abduction.
They did not say if any of the demands are considered credible, nor are they aware of any ongoing communication between the alleged kidnappers and Nancy’s family.
Trump’s public commentary on the case has been limited.
His declaration that the DOJ will pursue the death penalty if Nancy’s abductors harm her is consistent with other high-profile criminal cases in the US.
Robert Bowers, who is responsible for the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in 2018, was sentenced to death, as was American mass murderer Dylann Roof.
