Pennington is accused of shooting and killing his wife, Brianne, inside their Gardner home back on Oct. 22. The next day, police found his car abandoned near a campground three miles away. The initial search was suspended back in November.

The spokesperson said they haven't received any new information in the case and that Friday's search is "just another effort." 

Pennington is considered armed and dangerous. He's white, with blonde hair and blue eyes, about 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 175 pounds.
