President Donald Trump addressed questions about the search for missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie as the case nears the two-week mark. Asked why the FBI is not leading the investigation, Trump said the matter began as a local case and that authorities chose to keep it that way, adding that federal involvement has still helped move things forward.
Recent reports suggested tension between the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department in Tucson, Arizona. Sheriff Chris Nanos pushed back on claims of conflict, saying his office is working closely with federal partners. He explained that investigators agreed to send all recovered gloves for DNA testing to a Florida lab rather than split analysis between agencies.
The FBI has confirmed that a masked man seen on surveillance footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home is now considered a suspect and has renewed its call for public tips. Deputies and federal agents continue searching across Arizona, urging Catalina Hills residents to review recent security footage.
Despite national attention — including public concern voiced by Today anchor Savannah Guthrie — no arrests have been made, and Nancy Guthrie has not yet been found.
