Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker remains best hope of finding missing 84-year-old, expert says
While detecting the signal of Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker may be like searching for a needle in a haystack, an expert says it remains the best hope of finding the missing 84-year-old, Griff Jenkins, co-host of "FOX & Friends Weekend," reported from Tucson, Arizona, on Tuesday morning.
Jenkins reported that Dave Kennedy, who created the new Bluetooth “signal sniffing” technology, told him that the type of pacemaker Nancy Guthrie has is “the best we could hope for.”
“It essentially every one to three minutes sends a simple ping up that says, ‘Hey, iPhone. Are you there?’ Well, in this case, if the ‘signal sniffer’ in the sky can pick it up, it can locate it, do a triangulation of directional antennas and within an hour they could possibly find her,” Jenkins reported.
Jenkins also flew in a helicopter over the search area’s challenging terrain of rough hills and steep culverts, providing a birds-eye view similar to what law enforcement has seen while using the new high-tech Bluetooth scanner in the search for Nancy Guthrie.
“It’s much like hunting for a needle in a haystack,” Jenkins said.
