I don't know the details of the case, but in every country/telephone network I am familiar with, it's only a tiny bit of effort to get at least temporary access to a phone that has no direct connection to your identity. How would the phone company quickly track down someone using a phonelines not connected to their identity?

To add to your comment, payphones still exist. All it takes is some cash and a hoodie for an anonymous call. Further, the ability to make an anonymous police report is a feature for the safety of the person reporting. Otherwise, the person reporting may face revenge if the police fail to keep their identity secret.
