Authorities have found Jelani Day’s missing phone.

Officials say the phone is now going through forensic analysis and hopes the results can lead them closer to finding out what happened to Jelani Day.

Jelani Day’s missing phone

The forensic analysis could include Day’s location, movement, calls placed or received from people, and the content of those calls, social media, or texts as examples.

According to Day’s mother, the phone was found October 17th near an exit along the side of an interstate by Bloomington by a man who was repositioning a mattress on his truck.

Day’s car, clothing, wallet and body were found in four separate locations.

His car had been hidden on a wooded trail off a residential street in Peru, Illinois.

Jelani Day’s family says he did not have friends and had never been to Peru, which is 60 miles from the ISU campus.
