The feds would have better access to the appropriate resources to, for instance, obtain records from telecom companies about other cell phones in the area. That would not necessarily be fast or easy, but the CCSD or Delphi PD couldn't even begin to make that happen.
Other, less Jack Bauer-ish things might be going on, too.
The SAIC is a dude who looks like he should have a manbun or pony tail. I mean, he's a sharp dresser, and bearded - if you're into that.people keep mentioning the FBI techies being involved...and yet this has not led to where I thought it would. Has INGO discovered some sort of decorum?

INGO isn't really a demographic that'll do much with that.
Hmmm... I just came from the Civil Religious Discussion thread, where there seems to be a premium on accuracy. It may've clouded my response.So you're thinking INGO is so into accuracy that they actually care who is really working on the case? Interesting. I hadn't thought of that.
Why do you think the murderer missed taking the cell phone(s)?
Three main reasons are possible IMHO.Why do you think the murderer missed taking the cell phone(s)?
4) He DID take the phones, and all this audio, video, and other data was recovered from the "cloud".
Or, I completely missed the fact that the phones were recovered intact and the data extracted directly. Regardless, the cloud adds an additional layer.
..or maybe pretty much all criminals don't think things out very well.
This did not require bond-villain-esque planning.
This seems very odd to me.
A few years ago, a girl in the south was basically kidnapped from a Metallica concert (she'd accidentally gone outside and security wouldn't let her back in).
By that logic, it seems like the stadium should be torn down and Metallica not allowed to tour. (One of those options would actually be ok with me, personally, but I digress.)
Removing the bridge seems like the opposite of common sense to me. Doing something for no other reason than to do something, with no regard for whether it would be effective.
5) maybe Libby tossed the phone before the murderer could get it, and the authorities found it later. I don't recall hearing that it was found with her.
6) more troubling...maybe the murderer wanted to make some kind of "statement" and wanted the phone to be found. The placement of the bodies kinda says that to me, like the murderer wanted them to be found right away.
And while my paranoia is still acting up. Does it sound normal to send an FBI agent to help coordinate a search for a 13 and 14 yr old girl who didn't meet the criteria for an amber alert when they hadn't even been missing 18 hrs?
It seems and feels weird. I've definitely felt it, and I'm not sure why. I live about 20 miles from there, and noticed more LEOs today as I was out and about.
