President Trump suggested Friday that there may be some new evidence in the search for Nancy Guthrie that could provide “definitive” answers to what happened to the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie.
“I think we are doing very well,” the president said of the federal response to the disappearance of the 84-year-old Arizona resident.
“Very well meaning we have some clues that I think are very strong, and I think we could have some answers coming up fairly soon.”
Trump announced on Truth Social that the feds would provide assistance in the case. AP“I’m not talking about a search. I’m talking about a solution,” Trump asserted.
“We have some things I think that will maybe come out reasonably soon from DOJ or FBI or whoever that could be.”
When a reporter aboard Air Force One asked if he meant authorities have identified a suspect, Trump responded, “Yeah. Could be definitive.”
“A lot has taken place in the last couple of hours,” the president further revealed.
The timeline of the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mom:
Trump’s remarks came shortly after authorities revealed they were examining a second message possibly connected to Nancy’s case that was sent to Arizona-based CNN affiliate KOLD 13 News at at 11:45 a.m. local time Friday.
Nancy, who suffers from health conditions that require her to take daily medication to stay alive, was last seen Saturday evening.
Police believe Nancy was abducted and are investigating a purported ransom note in which the sender demanded millions of dollars in bitcoin for her return.

Nancy’s purported abductors claimed in the ransom note, which was also sent to TMZ, that she is “safe but scared.”
“I will say the letter begins by saying she is safe but scared, and they go on to say she knows exactly what the demand is,” TMZ boss Harvey Levin told Fox News’ Sean Hannity late Thursday.
Law enforcement returned to Nancy’s Tucson home early Friday evening and closed off the road for what they described as a “follow-up.”
