🚨 BREAKING: The Month-Long Hunt for Savannah Guthrie’s Mom OVER After Body is Found in Phoenix Canal - The Sheriff Breaks Silence! 💔😱 - News

Authorities are addressing new questions after a body was discovered in a Phoenix canal, as the search for Nancy Guthrie continues. The sheriff’s department confirmed it is aware of the discovery and is working to determine whether the case is connected in any way to the disappearance of Nancy, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, who has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1.

“Details on the call indicated that an adult female was on the nearby canal bank and was unresponsive,” read a statement posted by authorities in Maricopa County. “When officers arrived, they located the woman, who was ultimately pronounced deceased on scene.”

The news prompted widespread speculation that the deceased may have been Nancy, but the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has said that the incident is not related.

“PCSD says it has not been advised of any law enforcement activity at the canal in Phoenix this morning being connected to the Nancy Guthrie case,” Fox News Digital’s Michael Ruiz wrote on X.

For reference, it’s about 120 miles from Phoenix to the Catalina Foothills—where Nancy lives.

Authorities believe that Nancy may have been abducted from her home in the middle of the the night. Despite receiving thousands of tips, no leads have led to an arrest and Nancy’s whereabouts are still unknown.

A woman was found dead alongside a canal in Phoenix, Arizona, but authorities have not confirmed any connection to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie.

A woman was found dead alongside a canal in Phoenix, Arizona — but authorities in Pima County, Arizona, said they haven’t received any word that the case is related to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie.

On Saturday, March 7, police in Phoenix said they were investigating the death of a woman found on a canal in the city, according to Fox 10 Phoenix. They were called to the area of 27th Place and Grand Canal Trail around 7:40 a.m. local time that morning.

“Details on the call indicated that an adult female was on the nearby canal bank and was unresponsive,” a police statement says. “When officers arrived, they located the woman, who was ultimately pronounced deceased on scene.”

Further details, including the identity of the woman, have not been released.

Fox News Digital reporter Michael Ruiz shared on X later that day that Pima County authorities haven’t been informed of any link between that case and Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. “[The Pima County Sheriff’s Department] says it has not been advised of any law enforcement activity at the canal in Phoenix this morning being connected to the Nancy Guthrie case,” Ruiz wrote.

Nancy was reported missing from her home near Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, and surveillance footage recovered from the home shows an armed individual tampering with a camera at her front door, FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X on February 10.

On Friday, March 6, NewsNation’s Brian Entin reported the FBI was looking into a possible internet outage the night Nancy went missing and that one neighbor’s Ring camera history from that night was mysteriously unavailable.

In the past five weeks, Savannah and her siblings have posted multiple videos asking for the public’s help in Nancy’s safe return and sending messages to their mother’s possible abductors.

And on Friday, Savannah visited the Today studio in New York City to thank her colleagues for their support. “I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me,” she said. “I’m holding onto my faith. I still believe. And as my mom would say, ‘Where else would I go?’”

Trump Warns Iran of ‘Total Obliteration’ if They Try To Harm Him HH

President Donald Trump warned Iran that continued assassination threats made by leaders in Tehran would be met with the country getting “blown up” and “total obliteration.”

“Well, they shouldn’t be doing it but I’ve left notification,” Trump said. “Anything ever happens, we’re going to blow the whole — the whole country’s going to get blown up.”

Biden-era Intelligence officials briefed Trump about the alleged threats against him during his presidential campaign in 2024. Former Attorney General Merrick Garland said the plot was retaliation for the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani by the U.S. in 2020, during Trump’s first administration.

Despite being briefed by his administration, Trump on Tuesday said President Biden “should have said something” on the matter, adding that presidents should defend each other on such matters.

“But I have very firm instructions,” Trump continued. “Anything happens, they’re going to wipe them off the face of this earth.”

Trump also spoke about the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran in Geneva.

“What are you expecting from these Iran talks in Geneva?” a reporter asked Trump aboard Air Force One.

“So, I’ll be involved in those talks indirectly, and they’ll be very important. We’ll see what can happen. Typically, Iran’s a very tough negotiator; they’re good negotiators — or bad negotiators. I would say they’re bad negotiators because we could have had a deal instead of sending the B2s to knock out their nuclear potential. We had to send the B2s. I hope they’re going to be more reasonable. They want to make a deal,” Trump said.

“Have you been told that a deal is next to impossible?” the reporter followed up.

Trump replied, “No. I think they want to make a deal. I don’t think they want the consequences of not making a deal. They want to make a deal.”

WATCH:

Trump previously said that he instructed officials to destroy Iran if they killed him.

The president said this after signing an executive order right after taking office that gave him all the tools he needed to talk to Iran’s government and put as much pressure on Tehran as possible.

“They haven’t done that and that would be a terrible thing for them to do,” Trump said at the time. “Not because of me — if they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I’ve left instructions, if they do it, they get obliterated, there won’t be anything left. And, they shouldn’t be able to do it.”

Trump warned last week that the United States could send additional warships toward Iran if ongoing diplomatic negotiations fail to produce a deal, signaling that military pressure could increase as talks over Tehran’s nuclear program stall.

In remarks to Axios, Trump said the administration is considering deploying a second aircraft carrier strike group to the region in addition to the USS Abraham Lincoln and 9 additional warships already positioned near Iran, though he expressed hope that a diplomatic agreement can still be reached.

“Either we will make a deal or we will have to do something very tough like last time,” the president told Axios on Tuesday, a reference to the bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites in June.

“Last time they didn’t believe I would do it. They overplayed their hand,” Trump added. “We have an armada that is heading there and another one might be going.”

The president emphasized that the United States is seeking to persuade Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions, halt the development of its ballistic missile program, and end support for militant proxy groups. Iranian officials have so far resisted expanding negotiations beyond nuclear-related issues.

He described the nuclear issue as a “matter of course” part of any negotiation, but also insisted that an agreement with Iran must also address Tehran’s ballistic missile stockpiles, per Axios.

Trump said the US “can make a great deal with Iran,” and Tehran “very much wants to make a deal.”

Trump’s comments came ahead of a planned visit to Washington, D.C. by Benjamin Netanyahu, who is expected to press for a tougher U.S. stance and broader terms for any Iran deal that would include constraints on Tehran’s missile capabilities and regional activities.

Before heading to DC, the Israeli leader previewed some of what he and Trump were going to discuss.

“I will present to the president our understanding of the principles of the negotiations (with Iran) – the essential principles that are important not only to Israel – but to everyone who wants peace and security in the Middle East,” Netanyahu told reporters, per the New York Post.

The administration has already bolstered its military presence in the Middle East, with multiple warships and aircraft deployed as a means of deterrence and leverage.
