One Montgomery County woman who helps with high-profile searches is now missing her phone, on it is some important information related to searches for several missing people.
Carmi Rockwell went to the Mt. Sterling Walmart on Sunday, November 1. She later realized that her black iPhone 4 was missing.
“We searched Walmart over. Every aisle. Every place we had been that evening. We couldn’t find it,” Rockwell told LEX 18’s Josh Breslow.

While some would just suggest she get a new phone, Rockwell says it is not that simple. Rockwell has five Bloodhounds that are heavily involved in searches for lost pets, but also in cases such as Madison County’s missing Brookelyn Farthing, Norma Brown missing from Bath County and the missing Nelson County mother, Crystal Rogers.
“The phone’s nothing special. It’s the information that all of us searchers have on it to help families to find their missing loved ones and their missing pets,” said Rockwell.
Rockwell says that some of that information includes GPS coordinates of the exact locations that have already been searched in vast, wooded areas.
The phone also contains records of conversations with other crews; this information could be pivotal to upcoming searches that will resume in the next few weeks.
Rockwell asks that the person who found the phone turn it into the Walmart in Mt. Sterling or the Mt. Sterling Police.
“These families have already been waiting quite some time to get their family members back. We just want to help bring closure for them,” said Rockwell.
Police are investigating the lost phone and are looking at surveillance video from the store’s parking lot.
