Grandma Located In Crashed Vehicle By Cell Phone Ping

Thursday, October 22nd, 2015 Auto Liability

A five-hour search ensued after 76-year-old grandmother Emily Apple disappeared in Henrico. Apple was last seen driving behind her sister off Interstate 295. Soon afterward, a multi-jurisdictional manhunt ensued. It was pitch black outside, and hours passed while the family frantically searched along with police. "I got up and I went looking for my mom," son Rodney Apple said. "My mom didn’t have her cell phone with her, she didn’t have her oxygen.” Around midnight investigators caught a break when they realized they could use a cell phone to track the car.
