Trump offers more federal help to find Savannah Guthrie’s missing mom

The president is now personally stepping into a TV host’s worst nightmare.
An 84-year-old mother vanishes from her quiet Arizona home, and investigators whisper the word no family ever wants to hear: kidnapping. Cameras roll, questions swirl, and Savannah Guthrie’s familiar on-air composure masks a private terror as President Trump vows more federal power, more agents, more pressure on whoever might be responsible.

In a rare collision of morning-show warmth and Oval Office authority, Guthrie’s family crisis has become a national drama. Nancy Guthrie, 84, disappeared from her Tucson home on Sunday, leaving behind only unanswered questions and a growing sense of dread. Neighbors describe a peaceful routine suddenly shattered. Local police, joined by the FBI, are treating the case as a possible abduction, canvassing streets, reviewing surveillance footage, and chasing every faint, time-sensitive lead as hours stretch into days.

From the White House, President Trump publicly vowed to personally call Guthrie and offer expanded federal assistance, saying he would “sure” provide whatever help was needed in the desperate search. The involvement of the president has elevated the case far beyond a local investigation, turning it into a high-profile test of speed, coordination, and resolve.

For Guthrie — a journalist who has interviewed presidents, questioned power, and reported on tragedy from a measured distance — the story has become excruciatingly personal. Each broadcast requires a steadiness few could manage under such strain. As viewers watch her calm voice and familiar smile on Today, a nationwide manhunt unfolds off-camera, driven by urgency, uncertainty, and the fragile, relentless hope that Nancy Guthrie will be found alive and brought safely home.
