I'm wondering if they got a warrant because it wasn't like they could go onto the door of the ranch - it's not like the ranch is your normal 4bed/2bath home in a subdivision where they can pull up and knock on the door.
Also, if they feared the woman calling being harmed, they could argue "exigent circumstances" and could possibly enter without a warrant.
I'm not at all saying that I agree with warrantless searches or searches with warrants that lack proper foundation - I'm going to be spending most of my life arguing against it. I also think that if I were a cop in a situation who got that call, I'd probably get a warrant and head out ASAP.
