As he was signing legislation to end the partial government shutdown on Tuesday, President Trump discussed Nancy’s disappearance.
“I think it’s a terrible thing. I always got along very good with Savannah,” the world leader said. “Very unusual situation, but we’re going to find out.”
When asked if he would send more federal agents to help with the search, Trump simply replied, “Sure.”
He then added that he was planning to call Guthrie “later on.”
As previously reported, Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home near Tucson, Arizona, on Saturday.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stated “disturbing or concerning circumstances” were discovered at Nancy’s residence.
“We saw some things at the home that were concerning to us,” he explained. “We believe now, after we’ve processed that crime scene, that we do in fact have a crime scene, that we do in fact have a crime, and we’re asking the community’s help.”
Nancy is described as being 5 feet 5 inches tall, with brown and blue eyes, and weighing approximately 150 pounds. Nanos noted she is of “good sound mind” but has physical ailments that limit her mobility.
