Going back to this for a moment:
He was walking and his cell phone called me, Kareen said of the last time she spoke with her husband, and he made a noise as if [he] was hurt and his cell phone went off. And that was the last time I heard of him.

If we take that as the literal truth - he was walking, made a noise, then the phone went off right then, what are the scnarios in which that can happen? I am thinking about this likely being an iPhone or similar. Is it as simple as he falls, and the call is disconnected via the touchscreen due to fabric contact etc, or is it the phone actually going off? The above link indicates LE are awaiting cell data information from T-Mobile, however they should have been able to do a ping very quickly without a warrant. I am only guessing, but I think they know the phone is off/not responsive. I can only think of two things that would cause that naturally if it occurred on that voicemail recording:
1. He fell into water
2. He fell of something high enough for the impact to cause the phone to die.
I am concerned that we have not heard anything about the lake across from the club being searched, is that bad reporting or are these volunteer searches seriously the only thing they have been doing? The case just seems to be moving awfully slow. Has anyone heard if MVPD have contacted the FBI or brought in any outside help? They seem extremely tight lipped, which is unusual if they only thought this was a missing person.
