:dunno: but the first thing I do when I find something laying around (pretend I work in the place or may be a customer using the bathroom and find something of value in a stall I've chosen to use) is look to see if I can identify it. If the phone was found on, (here's where I'm weak - all technology but I know how to open a wallet!), isn't there a way to access the phone number within the phone? Or you can call the number listed under "mom" and leave a message a phone was found.
If the phone was lost shortly before 1:30 a.m. and was on, there probably would still be power left in the morning. If I found it, I'd be curious to know who the phone belongs to and (as a do onto others as you would have them do onto you kind of thing) let them know their phone was found and is in good hands.
If I worked in the bar and found a phone and was visiting with a specific person late into the night, I might check with them (since they were the last to leave), to see if they had their phone. But I doubt the bartender was the first one to arrive in the morning and guess she didn't use the john before leaving around 2:00 a.m.
If the phone was powered off or the battery was dead, then I guess there's no way to know whose phone it is and you'd just wait for someone to claim their lost phone. I'm curious to know if the phone was on or off when it was found or if the person who found it bothered to check. If it was an old man who found the phone, it is possible he wouldn't know how to use it!
Apparently, when the VFW people heard Kristy was missing, someone linked the lost phone to Kristy. Seeing she was the last one there, why didn't someone think about that anyway? How does the conclusion fit? Because nobody had called about a missing phone yet so it must have belonged to Kristy? Or, if Kristy's parents knew she went to the VFW, maybe they contacted the VFW first, after they discovered she didn't show up for work, and that's how the connection to the lost phone was made.
As far as I can tell, there are only three employees at the VFW. Maybe they are all bartenders and the new bartender is a relief person for the manager and other person? Do they have an active kitchen/cook?
Who came in to open? And if the cleaning person found the phone (or did he?) then how was the phone found in the morning? Who actually found the phone? Do they use a cleaning service or is the cleaning man the same guy every time along with having other roles?
Early on, one of the parents said that police have talked to the cleaning man several times.
What's strange is that the employees left Kristy sitting in the bar area alone if the doors were still unlocked. If the only reason Kristy was still there was because she was waiting for the bartender to finish working, I find it odd Kristy wouldn't walk to the office area to say she decided to go home after all. It is against common sense for Kristy to leave without saying a word. I feel the same way about her friends who claim they were expecting her over at SS. Why didn't they try to find out why Kristy was delayed when she didn't show up within a reasonable time. There's always the possibility the reports are twisted but, if not, both accounts of the night seem strange imo.
