For me, if someone else was involved, I lean toward acquaintance. An acquaintance, then, would...

- be more likely to understand how her FitBit works and connects to a phone
I disagree with this.
For all the talk about how Fitbits interact with their servers by using a cell phone, while it is useful to know what kind of data LE may have, I don't think it has any bearing whatsoever on whether a perp - if there is a perp - even knew what a Fitbit was. Because they would have known what a cell phone was, and it's fairly common knowledge that cell phones have been used in criminal cases. As soon as the cell phone was turned off/destroyed/etc., the Fitbit would no longer be able to communicate with the servers.
In other words, a perp would not need to know anything about a Fitbit. They'd only need to disable the phone.
