ETA: Do any of the news stories deal with how long the phone was at the McDonald's before the manager called?

I had the very same thought you did UGAalum94.
The only comment I have seen was in one of the links I posted above:
"and he left his cell phone at the fast food restaurant while leaving. The store manager assured him that the phone would be kept safe for his retrieval when he called to locate it, but almost immediately, the photos that she had sent to his phone were uploaded onto a website where users discovered her identity, address, and phone number."

So the question(s) would be:
What happened between the time the Sherman's' lost care, custody, and control of the phone and when the store manager took control of the phone and secured it. And how did he secure it.
