Pima County Sheriff's Department detectives are searching a septic tank behind Nancy Guthrie's house, with drone footage showing them opening a manhole cover in the backyard.
The 84-year-old was last seen over a week ago after she was dropped off at her Tucson, Arizona home by her daughter and son-in-law.
It comes as police restated that they have no suspects or persons of interest identified in the case.
The tiny detail in the Nancy Guthrie ransom note that makes FBI experts think the writers aren't even in US
The authors of Nancy Guthrie’s ransom note may have exposed themselves as operating outside the US because of one tiny detail in their note – a specification that their multi-million dollar demands be paid out in US dollars, law enforcement experts think.
“Why would you use that if you’re a domestic person? That points to somebody who might be potentially outside the country, which also lends the potential for this being a scam,” former FBI agent Michael Harrigan told The Post.
“If you’re domestic, why would you ever put ‘USD?’ You put six million,” he added.
Guthrie’s supposed kidnappers demanded a bitcoin ransom to be paid in “USD” by two deadlines – one at 5 p.m. MT Thursday, with the amount increasing for a Monday deadline after the first was missed.
The note sender has made no contact with law enforcement or the Guthrie family since the note was first sent to news outlets last week, and investigators have not determined whether the notes are real or not.

Savannah Guthrie’s offer to pay ransom sent ‘clear, unconditional’ signal to abductor: expert

An expert on kidnappings said Savannah Guthrie’s family’s latest video offering to pay ransom shows they are responding as if her mother Nancy Guthrie is alive and being held, calling it a clear, unconditional signal to whoever is on the other end.
Savannah Guthrie took to social media again with an emotional video in the disappearance of her mom, Nancy, begging the abductor to return her “valuable” mother Saturday and offering to pay a ransom.
“We received your message and we understand,” the “Today” anchor said on Instagram, alongside her brother Camron and sister Annie.
“We beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her,” she added, later saying that her mother’s return is “very valuable to us” and “we will pay.”
