Police probably lost accident report after an accident

A friend of mine was in an accident last week, and it was bad enough that he was taken away in an ambulance and his car was totaled. The police arrived on scene and supposedly took down the report, but the police have been "searching" for the report since then. What's their next step here?

I have a contact with the captain of another district in my city (in the US) who is helping me, but he's confirming that they're still searching for this report. There is a RECORD of the report, but they have been unable to find the paper copy of the report itself.

They really need the other person's insurance information because they believe the other person was at fault and they don't have collision insurance (it was an older car). Is it up to the insurance to be doing all this legwork? Are they screwed if the cops lost the report? I can't believe they could be so screwed over here by the cops losing this report. I thought at least the cop would have a carbon copy in his book, but they can't find anything. They have a 3 month old and are desperate. Any advice would help.
