“Investigators are considering the possibility that the missing cell phone may have been picked up by a member of the general public, either later that evening or sometime during the days following the phones disappearance,” Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey said. “Whether that person still has that item in their possession, or perhaps they turned it in somewhere, our investigators want to hear from you.”

The black Samsung Galaxy GS7 with serial number 356252078787469, was kept by its owner in a black LifeProof protective case. The cell phone had a photo of a blue t-shirt, with white lettering which reads “WHAT PART OF – PERKELE - Don’t You Understand?” (see attached photo) as its home/lock screen.
