10 MINUTES AGO: A PHONE CONTAINING A 13-MINUTE RECORDING WAS DISCOVERED as police returned to Nancy Guthrie’s home and launched a large-scale search operation in the wooded area next to her house….

Federal agents with K-9 units were sent Wednesday evening to Nancy Guthrie’s Arizona home, where they reportedly searched an adjacent wooded area and the missing woman’s garage.

The agents joined officers from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, who put caution tape back up at the 84-year-old’s house to block access to the property, NewsNation’s Brian Entin reported in an X post.

“It’s been quiet here for the last couple of days, but now clearly they are about to do something at the house,” Entin said as he filmed agents setting up their scene.

Police then began a grid search of the thicket near the home in Tucson, Entin reported, and also looked through the garage.

Law enforcement spent less than two hours at the residence before taking down the police tape and leaving.

Nancy – mother to “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie – hasn’t been seen since family dropped her off at the Tucson home Saturday night.

There were signs of a forced entry at the house, along with blood spatters on the property when police arrived after Nancy was reported missing, sources previously told The Post.

The taped off scene came just hours after Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Nancy’s home had been turned back over to her family – while advising that activity could persist there as the investigation carried on.
