PHOENIX — President Donald Trump said Friday that more “definitive” information about the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie could be revealed soon by authorities.

“I think we have some clues that are very strong, and I think we could have some answers coming up fairly soon,” Trump said. “I’m not talking about a search, I’m talking about a solution.”

The FBI has yet to comment if definitive information related to the case will be revealed soon. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) said on Saturday that investigators have not yet identified any suspects, persons of interest or vehicles connected to the case.

Latest updates on Nancy Guthrie case

Trump’s words come after KOLD News and 13 News received an email on Friday afternoon related to the disappearance of Guthrie, who is the mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie.

Authorities arrested Derrick Callella of Hawthorne, California, on Thursday in connection with an imposter ransom demand related to Guthrie’s disappearance.

AZFamily later reported the note did not provide proof of life, ransom demands or a way for Guthrie’s family to communicate with Nancy’s captor(s).

The FBI and PCSD said they are inspecting the authenticity of the email, with the PCSD saying they will return to Guthrie’s home in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills area for a follow up.

Authorities have been working on the case since Guthrie was last seen at her home on Jan. 31. Investigators said she was taken from her home sometime between 9:45 p.m. on Jan 31. and around noon the next day.

Authorities are continuing to ask anyone with information about the Guthrie case to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. The FBI said a $50,000 reward is being offered in the case.

Trump doesn't know anything, he just wants to be part of the story. HeII, I wouldn't put it past this administration to pull a stunt like this to take the spotlight off of their failures and ineptitude.
