Trump threatens kidnappers with death penalty if Nancy Guthrie isn’t returned alive

President Trump has shared a public warning that the people responsible for the kidnapping of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie would be facing the most severe consequences, including the death penalty, if she's not returned alive.

During a recent phone interview, the president mentioned to a news outlet how he hopes for a good outcome in the investigation, but if Guthrie isn't found alive, he would want the US Department of Justice to pursue capital punishment against her alleged abductors.

They were seen describing the potential penalties as something that is of a very, very severe nature and often reaching the likes of most severe.

Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Tucson, Arizona, home on January 31. Her disappearance drew intense national attention, with local law enforcement and the FBI investigating all possible ongoing leads.
