Lots of info about Cameron’s cell activity:
“‘We can track his phone activity — he’s on a plan with my parents,” Collin said.
‘You can see airtime, data usage and messaging. We can’t see who he messaged or anything like that …
all activity on his phone stopped at 10:22 p.m.,’ she said.
Then we managed to use Google location tracking. A friend of a friend here in Alberta, she was able to track his phone and see the locations he went in Billings, where he went around and
which way he went down to the property,’ she said. ‘It does look like he comes halfway back.’
But Collin said because her brother’s phone is a Canadian one, the Google location tracking function isn’t reliably accurate and makes it hard to determine where his path ended.
‘It’s pinging off of different towers,’ she said. ‘Where it ends, we feel like the phone just dies.’
That happened near a property on Pryor Road, which members of the Yellowstone County Sheriff’s Office have scoured, only to find ‘no sign of anybody trying to break in or anything like that,’ she said.
The other issue with the Google tracking function is that it’s vague and doesn’t give specific times;
it just shows a range from 7 p.m. to 10:22 p.m., she said.

They’ve also hired local private investigator, Mike Toth with Elite Investigations, to help with the search.
Toth said he’s working with the local sheriff’s office to follow up on leads farther away from the property in question.

Collin’s original plan, after attending his college roommate’s wedding, was to fly out to Utah for his next work project as a petroleum engineer on Thanksgiving Monday (Oct. 8), his sister said. ‘Delta Air Lines were informed to let us know if he showed up for the flight, and he never showed up. All of his belongings were still at the property.’ (BBM)
