Good grief. I get a list of every number called on my billing statement every month and get online to check 24/7 the numbers I've called and I can speak to my carrier and their operator will tell me the numbers. If I can do that, these investigators surely knew number the pilot called and how many tiny bits of cinnamon he had in his morning mocha latte. They must know who the phone was registered to and have already interviewed the owner if he/she spoke with the captain. How about starting with his wife and kids' phones? Funny how we haven't heard a peep out of them....
If the number goes to a disposable phone, like a TracFone, the number itself would be almost meaningless. General location of the number could be of some value.
I find the strange disappearance of the pilot’s family very weird.
