No, not sure at all. Just looking for clarification on what appeared to be conflicting information. May be he implied that he gave it back to her at that point in time . . . Looked for the article and only saw this reference to her phone:
"Arteaga then told officers when he came up to a stop light at 5th Street and Mill Avenue in Tempe, Salinas got out of his car and began walking home.
Arteaga says he also got out of the car to give Salinas her cell phone that she had left on the passenger seat of the car.
Arteaga then showed officers his phone records showing that he made a call shortly afterwards to one of Salinas roommates to tell them she was walking home."

Can you point me to the article stating that he did in fact returned the phone to her (BBM) when she got out of his car as he was stopped at a red light on Mill & 5th, then noticed her phone on his passenger seat, so he got out to look for her but couldn't find her . . . then called one of the roommates at 3:23 am to say she was walking home . . . so then he left and went home, I guess? So many missing pieces to this puzzle. It's just so strange, that's all.
