My friend is missing and someone else has his phone, what to do?!?

[S]

With tourism one of the biggest industries in Florida, surprised the authorities are not interested in assisting you to find your missing friend. While you mention in the question that you have moved to Florida, suggest using the word 'visiting' instead when seeking assistance from local authorities. Consider trying the local police again, but if they continue to not be helpful, suggest going to the state police. If there is still no support offered by the state authorities, because your friend is definitely missing, possibly held against his will or injured, visit the FBI office in the area.

Use social media to create a separate web page, asking for the public's assistance. Make the story a "Have you seen our friend?", announcing where and when he went missing along with other details. Maybe one of the local television news outlets might be interested in the story, which could put pressure on the authorities.

If your friend's cell phone is GPS enabled, you can use an app on your phone or computer to locate his cell. This link presents options, some free, some with a fee. A search on the internet using the word string 'gps tracking cell phone' will locate other suggested ways to track a cell phone GPS.
