unless, when he went into the plant, he lost service because of the metal or whatever the buildings were made of. But then, how are all of the calls to Misty explained? Even if he stepped outside to call, I would think the cell would ping, & then ping again when he went back in. Is there a such thing as losing partial service? I know sometimes when I get cruddy reception, I can text but not call...I was wondering if the pings could've been interrupted , but not the texting etc...Also, unless somebody was tied to Ron's hip, there's no way his every minute is accounted for.Wow....that statement is very interesting. The way it reads....his cell pinged twice. On the way in and on the way out. So they are assuming he was there all night.
However, a cell phone emits a signal every few minutes to the nearest tower. If Ron was at work all night, he should have had more like a hundred "pings" not just twice.
