What is interesting is they want all sightings of that truck between Sunday afternoon and Monday night which covers the time after BG would have been driven home and supposedly come back with dad. The original Nextdoor post which was share to the Missing Allyson Watterson FB group states the truck was caught on cam at 9:32am on the 22nd placing it before the door knock.
Even if the phone had no SIM card, by law it has to call 911 which means it is always hitting towers. We had issues in San Francisco when homeless guy stole a phone from recycling and called 911 repeatedly. If the phone is within range of a tower, you can call 911 which means it can be tracked.JAN 10, 2020
No new clues in Watterson search after cellphone provider found
[...]
It was believed that Allyson may have been using that phone the day she was last seen; however, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office said the lead didn’t yield any answers.
"It didn't have a cell account attached to it, so there was no active cellular connection with it," said spokesman Deputy Brian van Kleef. “It was Wi-Fi only from what I understand. When it's just connected to the internet, and likely not connected when she went missing, there's little ways to track it."
Van Kleef also said that the sheriff’s office’s request for information tied to the red truck Allyson Watterson was last seen in has not led to any new leads.

Friday was the fifth private search by family and friends since the sheriff’s office concluded its efforts nearly two weeks ago. With the vigil Friday night, the goal remains the same: to find her.
“Rain or shine, we’re going to do what we can,” said Misty Watterson, Allyson’s mother.

The sheriff’s office spent five days extensively searching the woods in North Plains where Watterson was last seen. And it has returned a few more times as more leads came in.
“When this information comes in, we go out, and it’s still very much an active investigation,” said van Kleef.

"We have to go back to some old-fashioned detective work, and it means we're interviewing people and talking to people and looking for physical evidence where we don't have that technological tracking beacon to find somebody," van Kleef said. "So, it's definitely more challenging."

She didn't call 911 though, right?
It hasn't been reported that she called 911 but if her phone was on, it was connected to a tower even if her phone had no SIM card and is not tied to a particular service. The statement about not being able to track a phone without a SIM card is erroneous. They tracked down the homeless guy in SF based on his location. It took a long time because it was in a dense populated area, but they should be able to find that phone. Maybe find all the phones that hit the tower nearest to where she was last seen an eliminate the ones with cell service.
I thought it odd LE stated they can't ping it cus it was wifi only. Most cell phone towers or most network type towers have the E911 receivers on them. They should also be able to get the last wifi connection it made and from where. I'm thinking her phone was lost or off, or they wouldn't have needed to knock on a door. I'm not sure a phone with a depleted battery will continue to ping.
I don't understand why, when he was woken up in the man's car, he didnt tell that man about his missing girlfriend.
Yes, it is. Big problem. He put his fear of potential contact with the police over any concern for AW. I think he must have known that homeowner would call LE if he said she was missing.
I mean, his dad was eventually the one who had to call. You know, because she got lost hiking... MOO

Whether he harmed AW or not, I don't like him.
I THINK it’s because of the fact that LE has never seemingly been able to verify what went on during those 30 hours before she was reported missing. The quote verbatim was “we’ve never been able to verify this narrative” (see link below) which I believe is not only about how Allyson and BG got separated, but about the claim that BG and his dad spent the day looking for her. They want to be able to confirm this actually happened - and cctv may be the only way to do so.
I'm sorry, this is horribly off topic, but I cannot imagine an Ugg boot and quaaludes existing in the same era.
Ugg boots are expensive! Well, I guess so were quaaludes also. Lol
I hope LE traced who they called from the house where they used the phone.
