This is one case where... * If a person is suspected as missing in an area * and family or other business associates * file a missing persons report (and they SHOULD be able to do so) * including contact details like a cell phone They should be required to try ringing the phone number first, from a clearly marked public services line. It would be nice if it were impossible to be spoofed (might be the case for mobile?) and if the phone indicated it was emergency services contacting the owner. If there isn't a response, all of the above should be glanced at by a judge to double check everything is in order and it isn't an attempt at violating someone's right to privacy. Who will thus approve a warrant for the local wireless data providers / service providers for their mobile to obtain it's present point of connection and address. Further that if it isn't within range at the time of checking, to get a history to see if it was since the last known / current known.
