Shortly after the video was posted, US President Donald Trump commented on Truth Social about the case. <\/p>\n
He said he was directing all federal law enforcement to help bring the investigation to a close and “get her mother home safely”.<\/p>\n
“I spoke with Savannah Guthrie, and let her know that I am directing ALL Federal Law Enforcement to be at the family’s, and Local Law Enforcement’s, complete disposal, IMMEDIATELY,” he said, adding that the nation was praying for her family.<\/p>\n
The BBC has contacted the FBI and local officials for comment.<\/p>\n
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has described an all-hands-on-deck search with dogs, drones, helicopters and federal agents to find the missing woman.<\/p>\n
Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in Catalina Foothills, an affluent neighbourhood roughly six miles (10km) north-east of Tucson, on Saturday evening, when family members dropped her off around 21:30 local time.<\/p>\n
She did not attend church on Sunday morning, which prompted members of her congregation to notify family members. <\/p>\n
When detectives searched her home, they found a scene that caused “grave concern”, Sheriff Nanos said. He refused to elaborate on what was found. <\/p>\n
“We do believe that Nancy was taken from her home against her will. And that’s where we’re at,” he said. <\/p>\n
He would not comment on reports about blood found at the property.<\/p>\n
Sheriff’s officials have asked people to stop sharing misinformation about the case. <\/p>\n
Savannah Guthrie is one of the most famous faces in US media and her video garnered support from across the media landscape and Hollywood. <\/p>\n
The broadcast journalist, who joined NBC in 2007, was named co-anchor of NBC’s Today show in 2012. <\/p>\n
She also serves as NBC News’ chief legal correspondent, and presents during the network’s Thanksgiving Day programming and from the Olympics. <\/p>\n
Savannah Guthrie had been due to co-host NBC’s coverage of the Opening Ceremony for the Winter Olympics in Milan on Friday.<\/p>\n
But she withdrew because of her mother’s disappearance. Presenter Mary Carillo will take her place, NBC said.<\/p>\n
“Our hearts go out to Savannah and the entire Guthrie family,” Molly Solomon, the executive producer and president of NBC Olympics Production, said in a statement. “They continue to have our full support.”<\/p>\n
According to the Arizona Republic newspaper, a historic church in Tucson invited the community to gather on Wednesday to pray for Nancy Guthrie’s safe return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shortly after the video was posted, US President Donald Trump commented on Truth Social about the case.
