Finding a cell number

[HarleyDog]

My Daughter has been getting some text messages from a number she doesnt know. She is currently in court proceedings and the person on the other end appears to be trying to help her out with information. However, every time she asks "who is this" they don't answer the question and continue on as if it was not asked. They have also sent court screenshots of the current case. My daughter thinks its someone trying to help her but cannot be identified because if they were identified could jeopardize their job or something.

Dad says, "Not so fast!" I hate it when gullible trusting young minds jump on the trust ship too fast. So, I have tried to loacate the owner of the number through google, MSN, yahoo, indeed, monster.com etc. No luck (not sure I could locate on indeed or monster anyway but was worth a try). I've looked at article which basically say to do this and if no luck you can pay to have it located but in most cases the results turn up nothing more that what you would get from an ordinary search.

So, anyone have any clever ways I can locate the owner of the number and put a name to it? At least that way, If it turns up someone we know, we can trust that the advice is either legit or misleading. If not, I can teach her a lesson about trusting questionable sources.

I do get general area of the phone. But that doesn't mean that's where the person lives.
