... And there's the false alarm about the gas leak, I hope that it was traceable.
I can see GT wanting Wrie's phone to check her outgoing messages to adjust his story. It is my assumption that she was messaging someone around the time she said "chicky" on the recording.
Wow, he had three phones stashed. I thought the recording was found on a phone in his Dad's car, but not according to this story:
Interesting to revisit a few things after having both heard the recording and read his explanation on the forum. Good grief, you pay lawyers for a good reason - his poor father - they have put up his bail and THIS is how he behaves? If he had an IQ of 150 once, it seems his neurones aren't firing properly any more. I guess a week of not smiling can do that to a brah.
The stuff in that article is very interesting. (Relinked for reference:
http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/...026801082?nk=a106d45e4bddd953fb06e87a434fd004) I hadn't seen that and it's different to other information.
However, this story states that the recording was found on a phone in his Dad's car (near the end):

So there's conflict. My guess would be that the Courier Mail has made the assumption that one of the three phones found had the recording. The phrasing of that sentence "believed to be" suggests that. It makes sense - one wouldn't think that after the police found three phones there'd be more. Or perhaps a police officer said something off the record, which might not have been 100% accurate. Further, the Brisbane Times article is longer after the event, suggesting they have had a chance to get the proper info from documents filed with the court. That would make it more reliable. So my guess is that they did find it on the Sony Xperia in his Dad's car.
BUT they found THREE OTHER phones in what I'm assuming is his car (otherwise why would it be mentioned)? So that's three phones in his car, one in his Dad's, plus whatever phone he was actually using for communication, making a total of at least five.
I'm wondering if he called Tony Ongart from one of those phones in the car in the basement before leaving them? That would explain police then taking Tony's phone, and also why there's no record of it on the recording device.
According to the Brisbane Times article:
2.25am - Police arrive at the scene. At the same time the fob key to Mr Tostee's apartment is activated.
2.28am - CCTV cameras capture a male, believed to be Mr Tostee, approach the front entrance of the apartment. He walks back to the elevator and rides to the basement.
2.29-3.08am - Sounds of walking are heard in the audio recording, which is still going from earlier in the night.
According to the Courier Mail Article:
CCTV footage obtained by police allegedly shows Tostee in the building foyer soon after the tragedy.
Police will allege he hid behind a pillar as police surrounded Ms Wright’s body and can be seen pacing backwards and forwards.
He then allegedly got back into the lift, rode to the basement and left the building.
CCTV cameras allegedly recorded him carrying what appeared to be a phone. Police will allege they later found three mobile phones in a car in the Avalon basement.
According to the Daily Mail:
2.21.50am: Male makes call to lawyer Mick Purcell. Call made from handset. '(Expletive).' Call not connected.
2.22am: Male: 'Where the *advertiser censored** are my keys?'
2.23am: Male: '*advertiser censored**, *advertiser censored**, *advertiser censored**'
2.23.30am: 'Oh my god.' Sounds of getting dressed, pulling jeans up, belt etc.
2.26am: Sound of sirens in the background.
2.26.30am: Sound of lift button.
2.28.41am: Walking noises. Footsteps.
2.39.44am: Walking stops.
2.42am: Walking starts again.
2.47am: Call to Michael Purcell.
2.49am: Screen shot taken of phone with images of deceased. Then, a call to deceased.
Sounds of walking, traffic and traffic light pedestrian button, and then a nightclub in the background.

Putting all that together: I think Tostee went downstairs and saw the drama (where he was seen on CCTV behind a pillar), then went back upstairs to go back to his apartment for some reason (that would explain him approaching the apartment door at 2:28am). He changed his mind, then rode to the basement. I wonder why he went back upstairs?
I also wonder why he suddenly decided to screenshot the images of Rrie on his phone. I'm guessing that had something to do with him planning to delete them later? Or perhaps he was going to SMS the screenshot to a friend for an opinion on whether he should delete them?

I don't think police have ever gotten Rrie's phone, have they? So there could be communication they don't know about.
