Most companies don't even house this information in the same accessible way they house recent call lists.
So he could have a last known call time of 8, but been on phone internet or such until 10. Or the apparent contradiction could be just that. We don't know until LE tells us explicitly.

With all due respect, can you please tell us where you are getting this information? Several posters have posted that in their own personal experience, they have been able to get these records in full with very little trouble and in short time. One poster has even done it twice with two different companies.
It doesn't usually take a long time to get a warrant. Sometimes it is a matter of a simple phone call in the middle of the night, especially when a child is in danger. I know this from being married to a police chief who has been a cop for 17 years, so I guess it is second hand knowledge, but that's just my ================================
You are BOTH right.
I was able to get IMMEDIATE logs of the calls/texts on cell phones before. But AbbyN is talking about info beyond that. In other words, my friend was able to see if her runaway DD had called or texted anyone or received calls or texts, and the last time she spoke or texted. But we could not get info about ping maps and where she was when she last used the phone. Nor could we get info immediately about if she went online and looked up anything during that time. I imagine LE would eventually be able to get all of that, but we did not have it on the logs we were shown.
But also, this was not a super duper smart phone her DD had. Maybe if the kid has a droid or an i-phone, there are better logs avaialble now.
