Trump comments on why FBI has not yet taken over Nancy Guthrie case, whether cartels possibly involved

President Trump discusses the ongoing investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance and why the FBI has not assumed the lead role in the case.

President Donald Trump recently addressed the media on the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old woman who went missing from her Tucson home nearly two weeks ago. During a press briefing, Trump explained that the Pima County Sheriff's Department is still leading the investigation. He noted that while the FBI is available to assist, it is ultimately the decision of the local authorities to retain control over the case.

Trump emphasized that progress had been made in the investigation, even though no suspects or persons of interest have been publicly identified thus far. He suggested that the local community's decision to keep the investigation local demonstrates their desire to handle the matter internally. Additionally, he mentioned speculation regarding the potential involvement of drug cartels, a concern that adds another layer of complexity to the case.

Amidst these developments, experts have analyzed physical evidence related to Guthrie's case and pointed out that DNA evidence indicates she may have suffered injuries, which raises further questions about her disappearance. The press secretary also reiterated the importance of collaboration between local and federal authorities in such cases, highlighting the ongoing concern for Guthrie's safety and the urgency to solve the mystery surrounding her disappearance.
