Trump threatens kidnappers with death penalty if Nancy Guthrie isn’t returned alive in call with The Post
President Donald Trump indicated to the New York Post on Monday that the kidnappers of Nancy Guthrie may face the death penalty if the 84-year-old is not returned unharmed.
Trump told the Post in a brief phone interview that would instruct the Justice Department to seek “most severe” federal penalties for the abductors if Nancy Guthrie is killed.
When the Post asked for clarification on whether he meant the death penalty, Trump answered: “The most, yeah — that’s true.”
Asked if that meant the DOJ would request the death penalty, Trump answered: “The most, yeah — that’s true.”
The president called Savannah Guthrie on Feb. 4 to offer federal assistance in the case, with the FBI ultimately recovering bone-chilling images and video last week of a masked man standing at the suburban home’s front door.
Trump hasn’t said much publicly about the case as investigators frantically search for the elderly mother of three, who authorities believe may still be alive.
Over the weekend, authorities launched flights above the desert region carrying a high-tech Bluetooth device in hopes of locating a signal from Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker.
Federal charges are common in high-profile cases, particularly if there’s an interstate component or if a federal statute is violated.
Arizona has carried out just two executions since 2022, in part because of a nearly two-year pause by the Democrat-led state government that was lifted in late 2024.
The federal government separately can seek capital punishment — and generally does so in the most notorious cases, such as those of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Pittsburgh synagogue shooter Robert Bowers, and racist mass murderer Dylann Roof
Former President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 men on federal death row — excluding Tsarnaev, Bowers, and Roof — but Trump officials plan to move the remainder to a federal supermax prison to serve out their penalties in harsh conditions.
