President Donald Trump claims investigators are very close to cracking the kidnapping case of Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie.
While speaking with reporters on Air Force One Friday night, Trump said investigators have made a lot of progress, and may even have a suspect.
When a journalist specifically asked if someone had been identified as a suspect, Trump said, “Yeah. Could be definitive,” according to TMZ.
And he made it very clear he wasn’t referring to a search but rather a “solution” to the ongoing case.
“A lot’s taken place in the last couple of hours. A lot of things have happened with regard to that horrible situation,” he concluded.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, however, told Page Six, “At this time, investigators have not identified any suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles connected to this case.”
The update comes less than 24 hours after it was reported that authorities were reviewing another potential ransom note related to Nancy’s case.
The message was shared with KOLD 13 News, a local outlet in Arizona. However, the outlet did not share any further details about the note’s contents.
Nancy, 84, was reported missing on Sunday after she missed church services.
The “Today” show co-anchor’s mom was last seen on Saturday around 9:30 p.m. when she was dropped off at her home by her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, after having dinner with him and her daughter, Annie Guthrie. Investigators believe Nancy was abducted in her sleep.
On Monday, authorities declared that Nancy’s home was being treated as a crime scene. And earlier this week, cops addressed reports of a “possible ransom note” after several outlets — including TMZ — reported receiving letters.
