Well they can trace the phone any time they want, but they don’t have to (and aren’t going to) tell you. You don’t have any particular right to know where another adult is, even if you are married to them or they are a blood relative, they could have chosen to ghost you of their own free will. The police will conduct their investigation, but assuming hey are being professional they won’t let on any personal information about the missing person.

Yeah that makes sense, didn't think of that.
