Can a burner app number be traced? If so, how?

I am being harassed by someone using the Burner app or one like it. This app gives them a fake number to text from. I've gone to the police, but they were not very helpful. I want to learn how to trace the app to the person, or how to handle this situation with the police to get their help.

This harassment caused me to lose my girlfriend, and has really messed my life up. The person is claiming to be an ex... but I visited my ex to check, and I received text messages from the burner number while I stood with her outside, holding her phone in my hand.

The number is (702)899-0950. I received the first text on August 11, 2016 at 11:46 AM. I received the last text August 16, 2016 at 9:02 PM. Please help me figure this out

If they stopped more than a month ago how is it still causing problems? Or do they have your family's information?

Take his ass to court already, if you can't afford that then you should consider cameras and firearm training. Don't take no shit from an attachment issue laden x boyfriend.
