Trump appeals for Nancy Guthrie’s ‘safe return’ as troubling new details fuel fears over her disappearance: Live updates

Donald Trump extended a rare olive branch to Today Show host Savannah Guthrie on social media, with the White House pleading for information in the disappearance of her mother, Nancy.

‘The search for Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, is ongoing, and authorities are requesting assistance from the public. Anyone with information is urged to contact 911,’ the White House wrote on X.

‘Our prayers are with the Guthrie family as we hope for Nancy’s safe return home.’

Guthrie and Trump have a formal and somewhat tense relationship.

The president called her ‘crazy’ after she hosted a contentious town hall with him in October 2020.

While Guthrie has not publicly stated her political affiliation, her husband, Michael Feldman, is a former Democratic political adviser who served as Al Gore’s traveling chief of staff during Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign.

In the investigation, chilling new details have emerged as law enforcement sources say that ‘blood drops’ were found leading from the entryway of Nancy Guthrie’s house to the driveway.

A doorbell camera she owned was also removed from the house by the time investigators arrived on Sunday.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office has put out a plea to the public for neighbors to submit any security footage of their own to help with the investigation.

Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother was snatched from her bed in the middle of the night, the man leading the investigation told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview.

Haunting new details about her disappearance have come to light, with investigators believing that the elderly woman was abducted from her own bed.

Former FBI agent Nicole Parker told Fox News host Sean Hannity that Savannah Guthrie’s mother was likely abducted by someone with a ‘deep grievance.’

‘I do believe that there is someone with a very deep grievance. I don’t believe this individual that she was abducted from her home, allegedly, they believe she was abducted in her sleep, I don’t believe it was by a stranger,’ she said.

‘I do believe that it was done by somebody who likely knows her very well or the structure of the home.’

Parker speculated that Nancy’s home is vital to the investigation and that law enforcement is being tight-lipped to protect the investigation.

‘This is absolutely heartbreaking, but I do believe the home itself is the crime scene, and that crime scene, there is something about it very strongly driving this investigation,’ she said.

‘Law enforcement has kept that quite confidential and quiet, but there is something they saw that is driving a sense of urgency, and we need her to be returned.

‘There is obviously a lot more to this investigation, and it has to be kept confidential to not compromise it.’

Law enforcement sources say that ‘blood drops’ were found leading from the entryway of Nancy Guthrie’s house to the driveway.

A doorbell camera she owned was also removed from the house by the time investigators arrived on Sunday.

Nancy Guthrie was reported missing in Tucson, Arizona, at noon on Sunday by her family. She has not been seen since the night of January 31.

Jenna Bush Hager was visibly overcome with emotion as she reported on Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, Nancy.

After Sheinelle Jones read out the phone number for the tip line for the case, Bush Hager said that she hopes people will call in.

‘We love Nancy,’ she continued. ‘I know her personally. And we want to just report, too, that she takes daily medication and she needs them for survival. She’s without her medication.’

Ending her sentiments, Bush Hager added: ‘We are thinking of our dearest, dearest Savannah and her whole family right now, and our prayers go out to Savannah and her entire family.’

Savannah Guthrie’s missing mom Nancy comes after a string of family tragedies.

The disappearance of Guthrie’s mother comes four decades after she lost her dad Charles to a heart attack when she was just 16 years old.

Just weeks ago, Guthrie had been absent from the Today show across December and early January due to having to undergo vocal cord surgery.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said at a news conference on Tuesday that there has not been ‘any indication that the public is in danger,’ after the abduction of Nancy Guthrie.

He said he does not believe that there is an ‘active threat’ to the community.

Savannah Guthrie will drop out of hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony for NBC amid mom Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, reports claim.

The Today show anchor, 54, was set to co-host the opening ceremony for the network alongside Terry Gannon at Stadio San Siro in Milan, Italy, on February 4.

However, insiders have claimed that it’s likely Guthrie will now have to pull out.

Abducted Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker stopped syncing with her Apple Watch in the early hours of Sunday morning, law enforcement sources say.

Police sources revealed that the 84-year-old’s heart device stopped sending data to the high-tech watch around 2am Sunday.

Investigators told Fox News that Nancy’s Apple Watch was left inside her home, which likely means the devices stopped ‘syncing’ when the pacemaker was out of range from the watch.

The Apple Watch data offers a possible time of kidnapping and offers a horrifying fresh perspective on the Daily Mail’s revelation that Nancy was dragged from her bed in the dead of night.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said the searches for Nancy Guthrie will wind down as his office focuses on investigating her disappearance.

‘The air and ground searches, you’ll see that slow down. Those things are going to slow down, we’re pushing more to the investigative side of this,’ he told MS Now on Tuesday.

‘Throughout today we hope to have more technology coming into play for us. We’ve submitted a lot of things from license plate readers to intersection cameras to downloads of cell phones and cell tower dumps.

‘That’s starting to trickle in, and we’re going to just keep moving.’

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department will hold a press conference on the missing persons case of Nancy Guthrie later today.

The media briefing is scheduled for 11.30am MST/1.30pm ET at the sheriff’s department headquarters.
