They’re searching for Nancy Guthrie’s heartbeat.
Cops are flying over the Tucson desert with a high-tech Bluetooth signal detector, also known as a signal sniffer, in an attempt to locate a signal from Guthrie’s pacemaker.
The FBI advanced tech is being used by investigators searching for Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mom.
A Pima County Sheriff’s Department helicopter has been flying in a low, slow grid pattern over the area around Nancy’s home in an attempt to get a ping off the device, Fox News reported.
A helicopter was spotted flying in a similar pattern near her million-dollar house just days after she disappeared — though it’s not clear whether the whirlybird had the detector then, according to Fox.
The search for the “Today” show host’s mom has dragged on for two weeks — she was first reported missing Feb. 1 and last seen around 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 31.
The 84-year-old’s pacemaker disconnected from the app on her phone just before 2 a.m. on Feb. 1, and her Nest Cam also disconnected around that time.

However, there are proximity limitations when deploying the signal sniffer.
“With regards to this particular tool… I do know that the pacemaker sets off a very short-distance alert… so they’re going to have to get really close,” former FBI special agent Maureen O’Connell told NewsNation Saturday.

He is described as a male between 5’9″ and 5’10”, with an average build and seen in the video carrying a 25-liter “Ozark Trail Hiker Pack” backpack.
A reward for information leading to Nancy’s discovery or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance was increased from $50,000 to $100,000 this week.
