It doesn't really matter at this point. If she picked it up it wouldn't be admissible in court for fingerprints or anything like that. Best to not touch it and call LE if you find something and let them collect it properly.
I agree that it should be LE but how does one sit back and wait? This was sad to read. How much more does his family need to beg to get help? I wonder where this property was that they found
"we did what little we could until it came a down pour..we drove down the back side of some of that property, nothing found..but a cell phone that was crushed..of which was not his..but were keeping it..and a t-shirt. We have not given up n won't till we find him...it just seems every way we turn to get something done we run into roadblocks"https://www.facebook.com/brandon.lawson.3990/posts/401581469968589?stream_ref=10
