I was interested in the subject of mobile phone pings which I knew nothing about. I found this article about metadata that is available from our mobile phones. Interestingly, it appears that police don't need a warrant to get this information. It's amazing what can be gathered from this data not only in terms of incoming and outgoing calls and text messages, but also location, patterns in your daily life, and so much more.
Here's the link to the article if anyone is interested:

I'm wondering if the police have used metadata gathered from Karen's phone, as well as her family's. Could this be why they are searching certain areas in the north-west outskirts of Melbourne? I know Karen's phone was turned off, but BR's might not have been. Or whoever else is a POI.
