Maybe the phone was destroyed?That does seem strange... And they can't go into reason for why not? The only thing I can think of is that they can't get a subpoena for the records because the phone is in Beth's name...
But you can tell if the phone has been used by looking at the online records for usage... I know the iPhone is available exclusively through AT&T, can you check your usage through the net? (I have Verizon, and it's usage is updated immediately after I make a call..) Anyone with AT&T know if it's the same?
On the FB Page, in the FAQ section, it says Beth's phone is an iPhone and hasn't been used, can't be found and can't be triangulated or pinged, not an option and can't go into why not.
Anyone have any ideas on this? What could be the reason they can't do any of that?

CNET was the first to report on prospective tracking in a 2005 news article. In a subsequent Arizona case, agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration tracked a tractor trailer with a drug shipment through a GPS-equipped Nextel phone owned by the suspect. Texas DEA agents have used cell site information in real time to locate a Chrysler 300M driving from Rio Grande City to a ranch about 50 miles away. Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile logs showing the location of mobile phones at the time calls became evidence in a Los Angeles murder trial.
And a mobile phone's fleeting connection with a remote cell tower operated by Edge Wireless is what led searchers to the family of the late James Kim, a CNET employee who died in the Oregon wilderness in 2006 after leaving a snowbound car to seek help.
My DH has had some business in that area as recently as last week, has Verizon and had no trouble.
I just have never seen that before about can't be pinged or triangulated and am just very curious what makes this different. Is it that it is an Iphone, ATT or????
All cell phones constantly broadcast a radio signal, even when not on a call. The cell phone companies have been able to estimate the location of a cell phone for many years using triangulation information from the towers receiving the signal. However, the introduction of GPS technology into cell phones has meant that cell phone GPS tracking now makes this information a lot more accurate.
With GPS technology now more commonplace in many new cell phones, this means that the location of anyone carrying a compatible cell phone can be accurately tracked at any time.
Interesting. Right above that, it says the iPhone is being monitored by police.On the FB Page, in the FAQ section, it says Beth's phone is an iPhone and hasn't been used, can't be found and can't be triangulated or pinged, not an option and can't go into why not.
