Police said it took this long to locate the pings on Kelsey's cell phone because they were following multiple leads and wanted to fully analyze the data.

The search of the area began Tuesday afternoon, and expanded Wednesday.

The cell phone analysis showed that the phone passed through certain telephone cell towers located on I-35 to I-435, then east to south 71 highway, and from there to an area in the vicinity of Longview Lake Park.

Cell phone signals, known as "pings," happen when a phone is in use, either receiving a call or message, or sending a call or message. Family and friends were attempting to contact Kelsey Saturday night.
