FBI Director Kash Patel is planning a trip to Tucson, Arizona, as President Trump deploys federal resources to find "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie's mother, two sources tell Axios.

The big picture: Trump said on Truth Social he'd spoken with Guthrie, whose mother went missing from her home outside Tucson over the weekend in what law enforcement called "suspicious" circumstances, and was "directing ALL Federal Law Enforcement to be at the family's, and Local Law Enforcement's, complete disposal, IMMEDIATELY."




  • Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has known Guthrie for more than 25 years, also spoke with her on the phone Wednesday and is receiving constant updates on the case, Axios has learned.
  • Patel, who was already heading to Tucson for another engagement, is "devoting all resources possible to help and is prepared to go if the situation warrants," a source familiar with the matter said.
  • Arizona officials are still leading the investigation and the FBI remains in a supportive role to the state, the source said.

Sad story, and I hope they find her.

I think about the thousands of people kidnapped in our country, but what makes this case headline news and requires the Trump admin to make a special case out of this? Because she was the mother of a Today show host? No wonder the elite are out of touch because of all the preferential treatment.

If Patal is going to fly personally for the search, he has thousands of other flights he needs to make. Virtue signalling at its best.

The FBI often investigates kidnappings, so that in of itself isn’t unusual. Oddly, haven’t seen much mention of this from conservative or liberal sources. Maybe it’s just people not knowing about that.

Whether Patel going there is virtue signaling or not depends more on the meaning of the term. I’m sure the investigators will do their job if he’s there or not. Yes, it’s to show they care about this, just like officials touring natural disaster areas. Does the visit itself accomplish anything other than that? Probably not.

Yes, all this attention is because this is the mother of a public figure. That’s usually the way of things. Then again, common folk like myself couldn’t pay a ransom, and no one knows us from Adam’s house cat, so there is likely an overlap there.
