You can’t.

Your sister might.

Finding an phone which is “off” is iffy and at best unreliable.

Regardless, your sister needs to use FindMy from https://icloud.com/find

See:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support

If she determines that it’s stolen … the reality is that she’ll NEVER getting it back.

BEWARE of fraudsters contacting you as “Apple” or the “Police” … claiming to have found your phone but needing you to provide your AppleID credentials.

They are NOT legitimate. Do not reply and NEVER provide your Apple credentials to ANY site other than a genuine Apple site to which you browsed yourself. (i.e. NEVER by following a link provided by somebody)
