Police trying to find Nancy Guthrie through pacemaker signals
The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department brought in drone technology by Parsons Corporation to try to locate Nancy Guthrie using signals from her pacemaker, sources told ABC News. The technology, called BlueFly, was deployed to aid the search at the beginning of February, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

BlueFly can detect the presence of Bluetooth low energy and Wi-Fi signals, identify the devices present and localize the devices based on the signal strength relative to the position of the drone, according to the company’s website. Parsons said in a statement to ABC News, "BlueFly® is a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi sensor intended for search and rescue operations in challenging environments. The technology can -- and has been -- used on a variety of air (drones, helicopters, etc.), ground vehicles, and on foot.”
Separately, the FBI canvassed gun shops in the Tucson, Arizona, area early last week as part of the investigation.
The suspect seen on Guthrie’s doorbell camera appeared to be armed with a holstered pistol and the authorities are looking to identify the gun and the holster, as well as where those items were sold.
