In addition to the boring “99% of people are uniquely identified by where they spend the most time at 2am and 2pm,” the linked EFF dive [1] says that they let federal agencies look up each device’s advertiser ID and other device info that makes it easy to look up a specific phone they have or have had physical access to. And if they still have no clue, they can use the cellular IP address to get the cell companies to identify the person paying the bills.
(Anyway, you have an address the phone lives at. Finding out who lives at an address is some of the basics of investigating, starting with a query of DMV databases, followed by credit reporting databases.)
