US President Donald Trump hinted that federal authorities may have made significant progress in their investigation into the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie.
According to Trump, the FBI has some strong clues that could lead to "definitive" answers about what happened to 84-year-old Nancy. He stated that the investigation is making progress and that he expects new evidence to emerge soon.
Trump clarified that his comments did not mean a search was underway, but rather a solution was being pursued. When asked if authorities had identified a suspect, Trump replied that it could be possible, indicating that they may have found definitive leads in the case.
The investigation into Nancy's disappearance began after she went missing on Saturday evening. Police believe she was abducted and are investigating a purported ransom note demanding millions of dollars in bitcoin for her return.
Law enforcement returned to Nancy's home early Friday morning and closed off the road, suggesting that they were following up on new information. Savannah and her siblings have pleaded for their mom's safe return, releasing heart-wrenching video messages after the alleged ransom notes became public.
The FBI and Pima County Sheriff's Office are leading the search for Nancy, with no suspects or persons of interest identified yet.

I'm not sure if Trump is trying to send a good vibe out there or just stir up hopes that aren't really going to pan out... I mean, no one likes seeing people in distress, especially when it comes to something as serious as someone's disappearance. But at the same time, if they do have some solid leads, that's definitely a step in the right direction 
.
. Still, I guess you can never rule anything out completely.
!
... I mean, if the US President is saying that there are strong clues, it's gotta be true, right? 
Like, what kind of evidence could they have found out already? 
... I'm literally glued to my screen watching any news about this case, and it's just so sad and scary 
...
but seriously, if the fbi has strong clues then lets see some results already! no more cryptic statements from trump. let them investigate & give us updates, not just drop hints 
. Trump thinks he can just drop a few hints and expect everyone to be all impressed? Newsflash, dude: this is serious stuff. If they had real leads, they'd be sharing that info already 
? Clues don't magically appear out of thin air, people! It's been days and still nothing. This whole thing just smells like another conspiracy theory gone wrong 
. Savannah and her fam are doing an amazing job staying strong though 
. Fingers crossed they find Nancy soon 
i hope they're serious about solving it and finding nancy safe, those videos from savannah and her siblings were really heartbreaking 
my heart goes out to her and her family
. On one hand, it's great that there are strong clues being followed up on - a mom missing and a ransom note, this case has all the makings of a serious national security issue 
. And let's not forget, as the head of the US government, he has access to resources that regular law enforcement doesn't - does he really need to hint at making progress on this case just to get some PR out of it? I think we need more transparency here 
. The Guthrie family deserves answers, and so do the American people
