adminLaw enforcement has quietly deployed a cutting-edge “signal sniffer” to try to pick up the Bluetooth transmission from Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker, and that move should make every American hopeful that police are using every tool available to bring her home. In an era when bureaucratic red tape and performative punditry slow investigations, the willingness to use new tech — even experimental devices — is the kind of practical, results-first policing conservatives admire and demand.
Officials say Guthrie was last seen on January 31 and was reported missing the morning of February 1, with critical timestamps showing her doorbell camera went offline and her pacemaker disconnected in the early hours that day. The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Office are working together on what investigators have publicly called a suspected abduction, and authorities have been methodical in canvassing neighborhood video and digital records.
The device’s creator, a former NSA hacker, has explained that the pacemaker emits brief Bluetooth Low Energy signals every few minutes, and investigators have even flown helicopters in grid patterns with directional antennas and amplifiers to try to hone in on that unique signature. Experts caution the range is limited without amplification — which makes this a difficult and painstaking search — but the practical reality is clear: America’s investigators are marrying old-fashioned canvassing with modern signals intelligence in hopes of finding Nancy.
There are also physical leads popping up around the investigation — discarded gloves found in the search area, DNA being analyzed, and even ransom notes that mention cryptocurrency — which shows this is no simple missing-person case but potentially a calculated criminal operation. Authorities say tips have poured in and the FBI has increased the reward to sharpen focus, while careful, competent police work continues despite a media circus that loves speculation more than facts.
Any responsible conservative recognizes the difference between demanding accountability and undermining an active investigation with wild theories or partisan posturing. Sheriff Chris Nanos has pushed back against claims of noncooperation with federal partners and insisted investigators are sharing information and resources — a reminder that we should let trained professionals do their jobs and not theaterize every development for clicks.
This is a heartbreaking case for the Guthrie family and for every American who believes in law and order; our focus should be on supporting the men and women in uniform who are working long hours, on giving them the space to use every lawful tool available, and on praying for Nancy’s safe return. If conservatives care about public safety, now is the time to stand behind serious policing, sensible use of technology, and the patient pursuit of justice rather than partisan grandstanding.
