I’m trying to find out what happened to their cell phones. Police said that they were turned off shortly after she was picked up at cheerleading practice at 4:00.

I thought I read where they were found burned up in the cabin but haven’t been able to find it since.

I have been looking too. No idea if they were burned or discarded.

I hadn’t heard anywhere that their phones were in the fire. Maybe the mom’s was?

When he took her to Hollywood, he got mad because she was on her phone constantly so maybe he trashed both their phones after cheerleader practice to stop that. It may not have been to keep her from calling for help... if she were ever so inclined. Not that they’d have much reception in the forest but it’s a guarantee she’d be texting and complaining hauling the camping equipment up from the car. I hope I have to eat my words but her story just doesn’t sit right. Maybe she didn’t know what had happened at the house but I believe she was the one stirring the pot.

Phones were probably turned off simply so they could not be traced via their gps or phone signal.

I read it, too, in one of the earlier articles,
