If the triangulation was accurate (and I can't get the "hot zone" thing to load, so I'm not sure exactly where it was supposed to be), then the phone must later have been moved back to the vicinity of Allison's house. That's if we're to believe the Australian's report on 01 May: "It is understood search crews were told the iPhone would be found in an area believed to be near the two neighbours and the Baden-Clay property itself."When the search was on for Allison, the 'hot zone' for her phone signal was not at the house or where her body was dumped. I'm wondering if she left the house (walk/stormed out after a fight?) and this zone is where she was killed, or if she was killed and then the phone thrown out of a car window. Unless the triangulation was not accurate.

Maybe the Australian was referring to the initial searches of the house-and-surrounds when Allison was reported missing on 20 April, before the phone triangulation had been done. But if not - if it's referring to something searchers were told around the time that Allison's body was found - then either the first searches of the house failed to find a phone that was there all along, or the phone was moved there after those first searches had finished. IMO.
I think the most likely explanation is that the media probably misreported the situation or misinterpreted the police statements.

EDIT:
After this post I found the original article from the Courier Mail (which the
Australian had republished, adding an extra bit to the end). I read it this
time, instead of just skimming, and it DOES in fact say the searchers were sent
back at the time Allison's body was found:
"As the Kholo Creek crews worked, fresh search teams were sent to scour the
gardens of the Baden-Clays' two nearest neighbours looking for Allison's mobile
phone.
It is understood search crews were told the iPhone would be found in an area
-believed to be near the two neighbours and the Baden-Clay property itself.
Up to 20 police officers searched the neighbouring properties and dozens of SES
volunteers returned around 4pm to look again."

So, whether the phone's triangulation was accurate or not is a very good
question, JackiBee.
And I'm sorry for misreporting and misinterpreting what the journalists said...
