As concern continues to ripple across the country, Donald Trump has publicly addressed the disappearance of TODAY host Savannah Guthrie’s mother, calling the situation “terrible” and deeply troubling. Speaking during a press briefing on February 3, Trump responded to a question about the case that has dominated national headlines, signaling both personal concern and federal attention as authorities search for answers.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing since the early hours of January 3, after reportedly going to bed at her home in Catalina Foothills, north of Tucson, Arizona, and never emerging. Local authorities have since escalated the case into a criminal investigation, stating they believe she was taken from her home against her will. Law enforcement officials have confirmed that searches have been conducted both on the ground and from the air, and evidence found at the residence has raised further alarm about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
