US President Donald Trump has pledged to hand over complete authority of the FBI investigation into Savannah Guthrie's missing mother to local law enforcement in Arizona. The 84-year-old woman, Nancy Guthrie, was last seen at her home outside Tucson on Saturday and is believed to have been taken from there due to signs of forced entry.
As the search for Mrs. Guthrie continues, Trump has expressed his commitment to supporting the investigation, stating that he spoke with Guthrie about providing federal assistance and "all resources" available to aid in her recovery.
In a statement posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump instructed all federal law enforcement agencies to be at the "complete disposal" of local authorities. He also vowed to deploy all necessary resources to bring Mrs. Guthrie home safely.
FBI Director Kash Patel was dispatched to Tucson to coordinate operations and assist in the investigation. The agency has confirmed that no suspects have been identified yet, but they are taking all leads seriously.
In a heart-wrenching video appeal on Wednesday evening, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings pleaded with their mother's kidnappers to release her safely. The family warned that voices and images can be easily manipulated in today's digital age and urged the kidnappers to make contact if they wish to communicate.
The Pima County Sheriff's Office is currently leading the investigation, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.

what's going on here? are they really just gonna drop it? also, can't believe savannah guthrie and her fam is going through this 
This is getting out of hand. Trump just handed over full control of an FBI investigation to local law enforcement in AZ? What kinda authority does he think he has now? Newsflash: being President doesn't give you carte blanche to micromanage everything. 
The Guthrie family deserves real help, not some tweet-stormed handover of resources. And what's with this "all resources" business? How many billions is he gonna toss at this case? 
Meanwhile, the FBI's still searching for clues. This just feels like a PR stunt to me... 
like one sec trump is saying he's gonna hand over complete authority to local law enforcement but then he does that super rare thing where he speaks to a missing person's mom on the phone?! 
is he trying to get in good vibes or what? anyway back to reality gotta feel for savannah & her fam, they're getting some serious emotional appeals from ppl online 
anyone got any leads??
Arizona law enforcement is already dealing with a lot, can't they handle it on their own now? And Savannah Guthrie's mom was just taken from her home, no warning or anything. This feels really sketchy... 
I'm not sure what's more concerning - the lack of leads or Trump trying to distance himself from it all.
. This whole thing smells like a scripted drama show to me...
my heart goes out to savannah guthrie and her fam right now she's gotta be going thru so much emotional pain 
and trump just makes it worse like what even is he trying to do here? doesn't he know his statement will just mess up the investigation? anyway i hope nancy guthrie gets found safe & sound ASAP 
Anyway, my heart goes out to Savannah and her siblings - they must be going through so much stress right now 
. Can we all just hope for the best and keep fingers crossed for Nancy's safe return? 
The real question is, who has access to Trump's 'social media platform' now that the truth about his own business dealings are finally starting to unravel? 
Savannah Guthrie's mom is missing and her fam is putting up a video plea 
and I am SHOOK ! I mean, what even is going on here? The FBI is already doing an investigation and now Trump wants to hand over the reins? 
What does that even mean? Is he trying to cover something up or just being super supportive? 
.
And now Savannah's mom is missing, and Trump's like "don't worry, I gotchu"... meanwhile, Nancy Guthrie could've been sipping margaritas on the beach in Arizona... 
this is crazy - president just handed over FBI case to local cops 
i mean, what's going on here? does he think they're gonna solve it faster or something? 
Savannah Guthrie is already so emotional about this, can't imagine how hard it must be for her & her siblings 
I feel bad for 'em, but c'mon, kids, can't you just talk to the cops like normal people? 
Maybe he can use his " Truth Social" to spread some positive vibes or somethin' instead of just stirrin' up trouble? 
that's some serious action 
. Savannah Guthrie and her fam are counting on the truth to come out 
. let's keep our fingers crossed 
.
he's sendin federal agencies to support the local police but it's still gonna be a long shot findin this woman who's been takin away from her fam 84 years old that's like my grandma age i feel so bad for savannah and her family they need all the help they can get not just empty promises
