62. It could be a burner phone or one of the services that offers temporary online phone numbers

And because unlike calling 911 a call to CPS isn't traced, it's a lot more likely to be hard to identify the caller. That said, not impossible in theory because maybe the person paid for the phone via credit card or will talk about it or some other security lapse.
