President Donald Trump said on Feb. 6 that investigators may have uncovered some “very strong” leads that could provide answers in the disappearance case of Nancy Guthrie.
Trump said that “a lot of things have happened” in the last couple of hours concerning Guthrie’s disappearance, but he did not provide details.
“We have some things I think that will maybe come out reasonably soon from DOJ [Department of Justice] or FBI or whoever, that could be definitive,” the president said.
The sheriff’s department posted on X that it has restricted the roadway in front of Guthrie’s home to allow investigators to carry out follow-up work at the residence and in the surrounding areas.
Trump said on Feb. 5 that he had directed all federal law enforcement to assist in the investigation.
“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 wrote on Truth Social. “We are deploying all resources to get her mother home safely.”
Earlier in the week, multiple news outlets reported receiving ransom notes related to Guthrie’s disappearance, which they handed over to the authorities.
“As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated,” Savannah said. “We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you.”
