ICYMI: Rex Heuermann And The Phone Records

Beyond The Horizon

Cell phone records can be invaluable tools for investigators in solving crimes. Here's how they can be used:

1. Location Tracking: Cell phone records often contain information about the locations where calls or text messages were made. This data can help investigators establish the movements of suspects or victims before, during, and after a crime occurred. This can be particularly useful in cases such as kidnappings, where tracking the movement of a suspect's phone can lead to finding the victim.
2. Call Detail Records (CDRs): Call Detail Records provide information such as the phone numbers involved in a call, the duration of the call, and the timestamps. Analyzing these records can help investigators identify connections between individuals, track down potential witnesses, or establish alibis.
3. Text Message Content: While not always available due to privacy concerns, the content of text messages can provide crucial evidence in a case. Text messages may contain incriminating evidence, threats, or plans related to the crime.
4. Cell Tower Data: Cell tower records can provide information about which cell towers a phone connected to during a specific time frame. This can help investigators narrow down the geographic area where a suspect was located at a given time.
5. Subscriber Information: Cell phone records also include subscriber information, such as the name, address, and account details associated with the phone number. This information can help investigators identify suspects or persons of interest.
6. Timeline Reconstruction: By analyzing cell phone records in conjunction with other evidence, investigators can reconstruct timelines of events leading up to and following a crime. This can help establish the sequence of events and corroborate witness testimony.

Overall, cell phone records can play a crucial role in providing leads, establishing timelines, and gathering evidence in criminal investigations. However, it's essential to balance the use of this information with privacy concerns and legal requirements, such as obtaining proper warrants or court orders.
In this episode we take a look at the new claims about cell phone evidence no longer existing and how that might impact things moving forward.
