Nancy Guthrie's Anti-Trump and Anti-ICE Posts on Facebook Surface as Investigators Seek Motive

The online life of missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie has taken on new importance as investigators search for clues about her disappearance.

The Arizona grandmother vanished on 1 February, and weeks later, detectives are still struggling to piece together what may have happened.

Now attention has turned to her Facebook account, where posts critical of US president Donald Trump and immigration policies have resurfaced. While there is no evidence that her political views are connected to the case, the posts have prompted fresh discussion about whether they could help explain a possible motive for her suspected abduction.

Nancy Guthrie is a Vocal Anti-Trump on Facebook

Before she disappeared, Nancy Guthrie was an active user of Facebook, frequently sharing videos, news clips and commentary on political issues.

Several posts criticised Trump and US immigration enforcement policies, including content related to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In one of her final shared Facebook posts, Nancy shared a video about a man identified as Alex Pretti, which came with an emotional caption.

'Trump/ICE murder victim Alex Pretti was honored at the VA hospital where he helped countless people who served this nation. ARE YOU MAD YET????????? ARE YOU F*****G AWAKE YET??????' the post said.

While such posts are not unusual on social media, investigators reviewing Guthrie's digital footprint may consider them when assessing whether anyone could have been angered or provoked by her views.

Other material on her account included videos warning about potential ICE raids and posts criticising what one shared video described as the 'Trump Cult'. These messages often accused the president of manipulating supporters emotionally.

Guthrie also shared posts critical of Russian president Vladimir Putin, including content referencing comments made by former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull about Trump's relationship with the Russian leader.

At this stage, however, authorities have not said that any of these posts are directly linked to her disappearance.

Nancy Guthrie's Personal Life Revealed Through Social Media

Away from political discussions, Guthrie's social media profile painted a far more ordinary picture of an elderly grandmother.

She regularly posted photos of family members, including her three children—Savannah, Cameron and Annie—as well as videos featuring her grandchildren. Other posts showed everyday activities such as baking desserts, including homemade pies and pineapple upside-down cake.

Investigators are using these posts to build a clearer picture of Nancy Guthrie's life before she went missing.

A post from August 2021 resurfaced in which she said her Facebook Messenger account had been hacked for the second time and asked friends for help. One friend advised her to change her password.

This earlier hacking has attracted attention because some reports suggest her account may have been hacked again just before she disappeared. Authorities have not confirmed if any hacking is linked to her disappearance.

Former FBI Agent Discusses Possible Motives

As interest in the case grows, some former law enforcement officials have shared their thoughts on what might have happened.

Retired FBI agent Steve Moore spoke on journalist Brian Entin's YouTube show Brian Entin Investigates. He explained that when someone disappears, investigators usually consider several possible motives.

Moore suggested that robbery could be one reason, saying that offenders sometimes target people they believe have money or valuables. He also mentioned other possibilities, such as violent or sexual motives, which, while disturbing, do occur in some abduction cases.

Moore's comments are not confirmed facts. They simply outline the types of scenarios investigators usually explore when trying to understand unexplained disappearances.

At present, the case remains unsolved. Police have not named any suspects, and the details of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance are still unclear.

Her social media posts offer only a small window into her life. Whether these posts will help investigators find answers remains uncertain.
