Now i found in find my iphone greydot just next to my iPad im using to locate the iphone, but so close to tablet its almost all of it covering.

It almost seems as if the iPhone is at your location somewhere. Anyway, if the phone is turned off, the Find My iPhone app will clearly state that the device is offline.
