FBI puts at Trump's disposal as search for Savannah Guthrie's mother intensifies.
In a highly unusual turn of events, President Donald Trump has directed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to cooperate fully with local law enforcement agencies in Arizona as they scour the countryside for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" host Savannah Guthrie. The elderly woman was reported missing by her family after a church congregant failed to see her at a service on Saturday night.
With signs of forced entry at her home and limited mobility, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos described the situation as dire, stating that his office believes she has been "taken" from her residence. Given these circumstances, Trump's latest instruction could be seen as an unprecedented escalation in the federal response to a missing person case.
The President took to his social media platform Truth Social to instruct all law enforcement agencies involved in the search to have "the family's and local law enforcement's complete disposal, IMMEDIATELY." He also promised that the FBI would "deploy all resources" to ensure Nancy Guthrie's safe return. As a result, FBI Director Kash Patel was dispatched to Tucson on Wednesday to oversee operations.
As the investigation unfolds, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have made a public plea for information regarding their mother's disappearance. In a video message, they expressed their desire to negotiate with the kidnappers, urging them to reveal Nancy Guthrie's location without compromising any potential leads.
While no suspects have been identified at this point, local authorities are taking all possible leads seriously and working closely with federal agencies to ensure her safe return. The FBI's unwavering commitment to solving this case marks a significant departure from the agency's typical approach to missing person investigations.

towards Savannah Guthrie and her family right now! This is such an intense situation, and it's amazing that the President is taking this so seriously 
. I mean, we've heard of missing person cases going on for weeks or even months, but this one seems to be moving at a really fast pace 
. The fact that they're working closely with local law enforcement and federal agencies like the FBI is super reassuring 
. And the way Savannah Guthrie's siblings are speaking out and trying to negotiate with... whoever might have taken her mom 
... it just shows how strong their family bonds are 
. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that Nancy Guthrie gets found safe and sound ASAP 
!
I feel like we've taken the wrong turn somewhere, you know? It's just a mom who went missin', and now it's like the President is mobilizin' the whole country... what's next? 
I'm not sayin' the FBI shouldn't be helpin' out or nothin', but this all feels a bit too much for me. And those "Truth Social" tweets? More like "Trump's Twitter Tantrums"... 
anyway, I hope they find her soon and get her back to her daughter in one piece...
just heard about this crazy situation with Nancy Guthrie, Savannah's mom... it's wild that Trump is directly involving the FBI in the search 
like, isn't a missing person case usually handled by local law enforcement? 
this situation feels super intense, my thoughts are with Savannah and her fam 
the fact that they're trying to negotiate with potential kidnappers is just... wow

. I mean, we're talking about a mom who went missing under suspicious circumstances and you're deploying all your resources to find her? What's the catch? Is this just another PR stunt for the President? And what's up with the sudden escalation of the FBI's involvement? This whole situation feels like it's being played out on national TV, and I'm worried about the potential consequences 
.
like who writes that? "complete disposal IMMEDIATELY" what even does that mean?! 
Trump is gettin involved and sending FBI to search which is kinda cool but also kinda weird? I mean, I know people r worried about Nancy Guthrie but I dont think a full FBI deployment is necessary lol. What if it was just some mistake or she went out 4 a walk and got lost?? its all so dramatic 
like he was on an episode of "America's Most Wanted"... I mean, who needs Twitter when you have the FBI? 
. Fingers crossed they find Nancy Guthrie soon, but I'm also rooting for a good story 
. I mean, who needs all that extra federal attention in a situation like this? It's crazy enough already with Nancy Guthrie missing, but now we've got Trump throwing his weight around and the FBI getting all involved? Like, what's next? The President of the United States going to start solving every single missing person case that comes along? It just feels so overkill. And what about all the resources being wasted on this investigation? I mean, there are plenty of other important things going on in the world right now... shouldn't we be focusing on those instead of some rich woman's mom going missing in Arizona? 
. The fact that signs of forced entry at her home and limited mobility makes me super concerned 
. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings are doing their part by making a public plea, but I hope the authorities can get to the bottom of this ASAP 
!
their mom just vanished like that and they're not even sure if she's alive 
but at the same time, let's not jump to conclusions or speculate about anything 
we need to be patient and let the authorities do their job. sending all positive vibes for Nancy Guthrie's safe return 
. And what's up with the President taking to Truth Social to give orders? Shouldn't that be left to the FBI or local authorities? 
. I mean, we've seen him make some weird decisions before, but this is a biggie. The FBI stepping up their game like this might actually help get Nancy Guthrie back home safely 
. But at the same time... Savannah Guthrie and her family are really scared, so I guess it's good that they're taking this seriously 
.
