\u201cShe did not leave on her own, we know that,\u201d local sheriff Chris Nanos told a press conference Monday, describing the home as a \u201ccrime scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social platform Wednesday he had spoken to the younger Guthrie \u201cand let her know that I am directing ALL Federal Law Enforcement to be at the family\u2019s, and Local Law Enforcement\u2019s, complete disposal, IMMEDIATELY.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deploying all resources to get her mother home safely,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n

In the video she posted, Savannah Guthrie described her mother\u2019s fragile heart and health, saying \u201cshe lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive, and she needs it not to suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n

The typically sunny news anchor confirmed that she had heard media reports of a ransom letter and her family was working to do \u201ceverything that we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also addressed her missing mother directly.<\/p>\n

\u201cMommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman. You are God\u2019s precious daughter, Nancy,\u201d Savannah Guthrie said.<\/p>\n

Nancy Guthrie was reported missing after she didn\u2019t show up to her regular Sunday church service, the New York Times reported.<\/p>\n
