PRESIDENT Donald Trump has revealed that the FBI have some “very strong” clues in the search for the missing mum of a TV anchor.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, vanished from her home in Arizona last week, leaving her family distraught.
Investigators think she was abducted from her bed in the middle of the night.
Nancy is the mom of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, who had been set to host NBC’s coverage of the Winter Olympics opening ceremony last night.
The president told reporters on Air Force One that new evidence could provide “definitive” answers on what happened to the 84-year-old.
He said: “I think we are doing very well.

“Very well meaning we have some clues that I think are very strong, and I think we could have some answers coming up fairly soon.”
Trump said the new evidence would come from the Department of Justice or the feds.
He added: “I’m not talking about a search.
“I’m talking about a solution.
“We have some things I think that will maybe come out reasonably soon from DOJ or FBI or whoever that could be.”
When asked if he meant that a suspect had been found, the president replied: “Yeah. Could be definitive.”
Trump revealed: “A lot has taken place in the last couple of hours.”
The case has gripped America, but Nancy’s family are just desperate to have her home.
In an emotional video, TV anchor Savannah and her siblings appealed directly to their mother’s kidnappers.
Blood drops were found on Nancy’s front step, but detectives have not confirmed who the blood belongs to and are still analysing DNA evidence from the home.
Trump’s cryptic comments on Air Force One came after after a man behind fake ransom note texts to the missing woman’s desperate family has revealed his chilling motive.
Derrick Callella from California was arrested and charged for sending fake text messages demanding Bitcoin payments and making phone calls to Nancy’s family.
The first deadline from what is thought to be a legitimate ransom note has already passed.
A disturbing timeline has been released, tracking Nancy’s last known movements.
