Speaking during a press availability on February 3, Trump described the situation as deeply concerning and said he was aware of the ongoing search efforts.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing after she failed to appear the morning of February 1 at her home in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson, Arizona. Local law enforcement has confirmed that the case is being actively investigated and that multiple search efforts, including ground and aerial operations, have been conducted.

Officials have urged anyone with information to contact law enforcement, noting that Nancy Guthrie has health considerations that require regular medication.
