The woman who has the phone knows something.


She BOUGHT the phone from someone, likely from FB marketplace or nextdoor or something. If she had anything at all to do with this why would she pay money to purchase it off of one of her accomplices? If you bought a phone off marketplace should you be held responsible if the person you bought the phone from acquired it from a runaway?

Now the person that sold the phone, yeah obviously they know a ton here. But the current holder of the phone likely knows as much as you or I do. Which is to say nothing.

bullshite. That is not how phone sales work—the legit seller would wipe the phone and you’d ensure whether it is locked to a carrier or not.

Whoever bought it knows it wasn’t a legitimate sale

At the very least, she has a lead on who originally possessed the phone. She has a description and contact information of some capacity.

Likely bought from someone with burner account and/or burner phone, but she knows more than the OP does at the moment.

Yeah the phone being sold to a 3rd party increases the likelihood this is drug-related and not violence-related.

If that phone was taken by force, they'd have wiped it and sold it at one of those kiosks in a Walmart.

You realize people, especially people involved in a situation like this, are capable of lying and do it all the time.

Plus she is the only link to OP's missing brother at the time. Gotta get police to track her down and press her and see if her story checks out as best they can.
