If he had Find My turned on in his phone before it was lost, you can use any internet browser and log into www.icloud.com/find using his Apple ID.

Does this not help?

If he had Find My turned on in his phone before it was lost, you can use any internet browser and log into www.icloud.com/find using his Apple ID.

Note that it can be done on a Windows computer, a Mac computer, an iPhone or Android phone, or on any brand of tablet.


Also note the following from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support

If Find My [device] isn't enabled on your device before it goes missing, there's no other Apple service that can find, track, or flag your device for you.
