I'm not sure if this is what Citygirl was referring to, but in Boles testimony below, he stated that Merritt's phone pinged twice - early morning - near the McStays on February 3rd. It's approx at the 52:00 mark.
Wow! Thanks. First pings at 8:31 am, and 8:34 am, very close. Then he starts heading up the 15.
I wonder why there hasn’t been more discussion of that.
I guess the best explanation is that he was down at the Pala casino picking up money to pay the rent, and his phone just pinged as he happened to pass by the McStays.
So you don't think it's possible he met Joey or went over there that morning, for whatever reason, like twice previously that week? This seems like a bit of a leap IMO that a few phone pings mean that he was lurking. Even just that week, we know he was there on the 31st (?), and the 2nd because McG saw him, and I don't think he was there for a long period of time IIRC from his pings. I wish we had the video surveillance for the week to possibly see vehicles coming and going and actually had Joey's cell phone data from those days as well, we only have what has been posted previous to the trial:
From Feb 3rd:
Joey's calls:
7:34am - call to Chase 1 min
7:40am - Summer calls Joey
8:35am - call to CM 3 min
interesting that Summer calls Joey. Now, did she call him while both were inside the house? or was he not home at the time? or was she not home at the time? The previous night, there was a late call @ 10:54pm - incoming call from CM 4 min.

If the previous day is any indication, CM/JM called each other before and after he was there that morning as well. 9:22-10:01 his phone pinged near the McStay home. We didn't see CM's pings and where they were for the 31st, so can't tell what time he was there that day.
Joey's calls: (also from the above link)
8:47am - call to CM 1 min
8:51am - incoming call from CM 3 min
8:54am - 10:27am - business calls / VM retrieval
9:48am - incoming call from Jessica to Joey
10:31am - call to CM 4 min
McG didn't get there until 8:30-9am on the 3rd according to his testimony. At about 39:00 of the video.
