Fox News Digital learned authorities have used a high-tech Bluetooth scanner placed on the bottom of law enforcement helicopters to detect Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker signal.

The helicopters fly low, typically in grid patterns, at a slow pace to pick up signals.

Fox News Digital spotted one of the low-flying helicopters near Guthrie's home on Feb. 4, just three days after her disappearance.

I’m guessing here, but the cartel probably put her in the trunk of a car and drove her to Mexico that night.

No need for Mexico. There is nothing much between Tuscon and Nogsles other than cactus and scorpions. She was in a hole in the desert by dawn.

I wonder how they separated her pacemaker Bluetooth signal from all the others using the same channel.

Hopefully this will find her, dead or alive. It will be a miracle if she’s alive.

I would guess each persons pacer signal has an identification code along with the data...

Yeah, but there's an RF (or analog) interference problem, I would think. Anyway, who knows.

The helicopters would have to fly pretty low since Bluetooth only has a range of 30’to40’.🤔

As someone who has a pacemaker implanted, I wonder who this would work.

I have a Medtronics pacemaker which is a major supplier of pacemakers, it uses bluetooth to communicate with an app on my iPhone.

If my iPhone is more than about 10 ft. from my side, it’s not picking up the signal from the pacemaker.

Pacemakers have a max range of about 10 feet and usually try to transmit data just once a day.

I’d guess 90% sure she is dead and didn’t survive the initial abduction.
