sorry for the mistake about downloading the app but the point remains that the owner of the iPhone must physically choose to set the "find my iPhone" app to be on.
and if the owner of the iphone and the iphone itself is missing - another person must know the owner of the iphone's appleid and also their appleid password in order to log into the owner's account to make use of the app. and then of course the iPhone in question must have battery life.
I hear you now. That makes sense. But I'm mostly referring to Heather having Location Services turned on. If LC is turned on, then the cell company can remotely turn on GPS tracking. I don't know if all cell carriers have that. The picture of her holding her phone doesn't look like an Apple device so the point we were hashing about Fnd My iPhone is moot. Is it possible she was on her parent's cellular plan?
I'm curious as to where her cell last pinged and if the path taken was uncovered before it went silent. The way she posted until 2:09:48AM on Tumblr, paired with her phone call with her roommate, then the cell subsequently goes silent right after suggests the phone was dismantled or destroyed somehow. I tend to think the battery & sim were taken out and the phone disposed of. I wonder if police obtained the tower pings yet and traced her path that night up until and as well as after she disappeared.
