Murder In Moscow: Bryan Kohberger And The Cell Phone Records (2/9/23)
Cell phone tower pings are a common tool used by law enforcement in criminal investigations. When a cell phone is turned on, it constantly communicates with nearby cell towers in order to maintain a connection to the network. This communication generates a record of the cell tower that the phone communicated with, which is referred to as a "ping."By analyzing the cell tower pings for a particular phone, law enforcement can obtain information about the location of the phone at specific times, which can be useful in criminal investigations. For example, if a suspect's cell phone pinged a particular tower at the time of a crime, this information can be used to place the suspect in the vicinity of the crime scene at the time it occurred.
In this episode, we hear from multiple experts who weigh in on the cell phone records and what to expect to hear from the prosecution and the defense as both sides attempt to shape the narrative surrounding the technology being presented as evidence.
