It seems that the voice messages were sent by a 7 year old child trained just enough to use his (dead) father's phone in an emergency, so the child sent a few messages to his mother via facebook messenger. These messages are stil listenable on that phone but I need to save them out before they end up in /dev/null.

 I was going to say that the crucial detail is what app was used to send the messages. For example, with whatsapp the voice files are accessible, or were, when I tried over five years ago, before encryption.
 Ok, it is voice messages made with facebook messenger. I don't even have that app installed.
 If you access the same account on the computer, do you get the same messages?
 I found instructions on google:

We can't log into any of his acccounts, no passwords for none of them.
We have physical posession of his phone and sec code, laptop, and desktop. Funny thing is that just weeks earlier we had a discussion about how careful "I" was in making access to my rags easy in case I should go. NO ONE ever thought that he would go first and the state of his phone and computer are proof. But it's ok, now that I can record any sound coming out of any phone with a mini headset port that issue has a solution. I've already saved out 7 or 9 thousand pictures and videos, cleaned his laptop out before that, now I'm free to start recovering his desktopo computer. Think I'll do that on the suse list seing that his main system appears to have been Leap-15.x
