During a phone call on Tuesday, which was Monday in the US, the President vowed that those responsible for Nancy’s abduction would face the harshest of consequences if she is harmed.
When questioned about whether the Department of Justice might pursue the death penalty, Trump affirmed, “Yes, the most severe – indeed.”
Nancy was last spotted at her residence in Arizona on January 31. Her absence was noticed the next day when she failed to attend church, prompting a missing person report.
On January 4, Trump reached out to Savannah, offering federal assistance in the effort to locate her missing mother.
Authorities have released an image of an individual, believed to be a man, dressed in gloves, long sleeves, pants, and a balaclava.
Local law enforcement investigating her abduction have confirmed multiple sources have issues demands for ransom.
They did not say if any of the demands are considered credible, nor are they aware of any ongoing communication between the alleged kidnappers and Nancy’s family.
Trump’s public commentary on the case has been limited.
His declaration that the DOJ will pursue the death penalty if Nancy’s abductors harm her is consistent with other high-profile criminal cases in the US.
Robert Bowers, who is responsible for the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in 2018, was sentenced to death, as was American mass murderer Dylann Roof.
