Another interesting bit I found today...
Cell calls do not work tower to tower.
Calling phone sends radio signal to tower. The radio signal is received by tower from calling phone, data is digitized and sent through land line system to tower closest to receiving phone. Tower converts back to radio frequency and delivers the call to receiving phone.

and one more thing...
the HLR and VLR data (tracking) that cell providers collect every seven seconds is only saved by most providers for no more than a year. So unless the affidavit was written within about a year of MM's disappearance, it was most likely requesting a phone number, not tracking data.

i can depend not only your search skills, but your motivation to track historical information and documentation, and to accurately...precisely, in fact, reproduce content within the context. so, thank you. you are appointed!
i've skimmed a number of the posts you mention, but i found "My Sister" with associated 92 comments as of early this morning to be particularly offensive.
i keep sensing JRenner must be sold on JG's value, and wonder if his use lies in stirring up drama and gossip, which does not even rise to the level of controversy or debate.
Fred Leatherman/Mason owned his theories, and JRenner takes ownership of the information he shares, but Green's role is unclear. i am suspicious, however, of his attention-seeking and blurring of boundaries between himself and JRenner, who still retains him.

i will....bring Mason up....in exactly the manner i did. he owns his speculation and theory(ies).
there is no comparison to Columbo.
you are mistaken to suggest Fred Leatherman's is a checkered past.
just my opinion.

Confession
By: Masoninblue Wednesday May 11, 2011 4:00 pm
I have a confession to make. I am addicted to pornography and have been since I was a teenager. It has interfered with my relationships and I want to be rid of it. For long periods, I don’t think about it, but every once in awhile, it pops into my conscious awareness and suddenly I become obsessed, again.
The more sexual energy that I expend in my head, the less I have to share with my wife, which affects intimacy and eventually the foundation and strength of our marriage. Plus, it feels like cheating because it involves hiding and lying. Secrecy and shame are part of its allure.
I don’t want to hide and cheat. I decided to disclose my issue as part of a self-initiated process to publicize it in hopes of finally breaking its power and grip over me. I also hope that my disclosure may help others to wrestle with and finally overcome their addictions.
It’s long past time to clean-up the dead hawgs in my pasture.

From what I read, where a land line system is not in place, like the arctic for example, only a satellite based system will work.

Can´t be. Cell phones may work in places like mountain ranges where there never was a landline system. In remote rural areas in Sweden they are removing existant landline systems and are solely relying on cell phones (which oftentimes doesn´t work b/c of poor reception, but that´s another story). I´m by no means an expert on this and am not trying to correct you, just being curious how this works.

what is TOT? who are Bob the Bartender and Pike?
how they are connected with maura?
thank you
apparently, person, TOT was a punishment exacted by the leaders of a previous Maura Murray forum against anyone who spoke their minds, or had opinions differing from the party line.
the party line was and is any concept endorsed by Maura's father.
TOT has been defined as Time Out in a Tent, i believe. one would be remanded to a figurative tent, as punishment, where Bob the Bartender would serve up a cyber-beverage.
Pike, by all accounts, was a super-nice guy and an intelligent poster, by his stellar reputation from the same forum. he is remembered fondly by some for his daring to speak up often and disagree with the party line. a no-no. he either left the forum, or was summarily banished. it is unclear which occurred.
only Pike was connected to Maura's missing, as he apparently tried to assist in solving her disappearance."

Isn't it ironic that Mr. Green practices similar techniques on Renners blog now?
