Can't quote for some reason but it wasn't a "burner phone" in the literal sense, it was a tongue-in-cheek description of the fact that she had a prepaid phone. It wasn't like she used one for a month and then got a new one. Maybe it's a Michigan thing but there are a lot of prepaid phone people, prepaid phone's often have better signals in some of the rural parts for whatever reason.
Also, I always just thought that her phone and keys being missing meant they were probably in her coat pocket. Its interesting to see other people's theories on that.
Found this post by Holocene (our VI), dated Dec. 7: "Honestly it's a non-issue. She's always used a burner phone for years. Just personal preference. Trust me, the police have thoroughly vetted that issue."

And also this (dated Dec. 29): "To clarify, since I have just forced myself to read through pages and pages of comments deliberating over her phone, 'burner' in this instance was simply being used as shorthand slang for pre-paid.' Nothing nefarious, I promise you."
