Don,
If they have cell phones can't you get the authorities to "ping" the phones. That would give them an idea of where they are. And ALL cell phones now have GPS locators on them. So they should be able to find them. I think this works even if the phones are off. Of course they do have to be in range of a cell tower. But who knows by now they are probably able to use a satellite to find the phone even if it was off and out of range of a tower. Just a thought and I have no idea how any of this kind of stuff is done.

Good luck and please keep us updated. Dennis and Mary Kay
