I don't think there has been any source that said she didn't take her phone out biking. I think random chatter about if there are cell phone signals in her area made some people speculate maybe she didn't even bother taking a phone. Imo that is a rumor that ran wild. I have not come across any source, even unconfirmed ones, who ever said she didn't bring a cell phone on bike rides. Imo, most people would, whether it's to use phone apps like mapmyride or snap a picture, or whatever. There are a gazillion easy ways to store a phone on your person or bike. Imo, not taking the phone biking originated from pure rumor. (If I'm wrong, I stand corrected, but that has not been confirmed anywhere.)
I listened to reporter Lauren Scharf's live fb update last night and one thing she made very clear is the very spotty cell service in the area -- even using Verizon (said to provide best coverage there). She talked about having to drive to hilltops for a signal.
The reporter's very recent account just confirmed what we've been told all along and for that I'm inclined to believe SM left her phone at home.
