BURNER PHONE #1
- prepaid phone
- purchased with cash at a convenience store in Vancouver in November 2007
- activated online within 24 hours of initial contact
- registered under a false name and address
- registered under 'PAULO RODRIGUEZ'
- registered address was that of a known business believed to be unrelated to the crime (and likely chosen at random)
- only used to communicate with Lindsay
- communicated with Lindsay an additional 10 times after the initial call
- the Gordon Head property address on De Sousa Place was likely provided to the caller during a 10-minute phone conversation with Lindsay (per LE)
- MapQuest may have been used for the purpose of “familiarizing themselves with the area” (***this suggests TO ME that evidence exists that indicates MapQuest was accessed immediately after the aforementioned phone call)
- phone pings show the phone traveled from Vancouver to Victoria via BC Ferries one day before the murder
- phone was deactivated/discarded after the murder
- prepaid phone used to check a voicemail left for the number associated with BURNER PHONE #1

LINDSAY’S REACTION TO THE CALLER / SHOWINGS
- voiced suspicions about the caller to several friends, Jason, and her father

- Jason (who was also a licensed broker) offered to show the property for Lindsay but she wanted to do it herself
