Back at the Dellen Millard/Mark Smich murder trial. Expecting a big, and long, day from forensic officer who analyzed 3 of Millard's computers.

Feb 2010 to Feb 2012 is the time span Falconer was looking at in the back up version of one #Millard iphone. Looks like #Millard upgraded his phone during that point and transferred info from the old device. #LauraBabcock

Det. Sgt. Jim Falconer slowly going through backup data of phones found on Dellen Millard's computer. Mostly innocuous messages referencing Dell or Dellen. #laurababcock

We're now looking at another iPhone backup overview. Here, the iPhone has changed to an iPhone 4S.

Are there other accounts anyone would like me to add from Twitter? Marianna Boucher isn't active and we know Shannon Martin is away, so I'm just covering Liam Casey and Lisa Hepfner so far. Adam Carter's tweets are exactly the same as the blog.

 

[Velma]

SMS messages on this phone ranged from Feb. 2010 to Feb. 2013. There are numerous references to "Dell" or "Dellen" on it.
by Adam Carter 9:59 AM

Now we're looking at an overview for a device called "Mark's iPad."
by Adam Carter 10:00 AM

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews 1m1 minute ago
The new Dell's iPhone is a version "4s." Next device Feb 2010 to 2013; an extra year of text messages. "Nothing to indicate anyone else was using the device," Falconer says.

The next backup is also associated with the Apple iTunes account dell.millard at hotmail.com. It had no cell phone number associated with it, but a sim card had been used, Falconer found. #LauraBabcock

Crown Ken Lockhardt is doing the examination in chief, here.

The latest device, with a missing SIM card and no phone number is named "Mark's iPad" Falconer says. He's reading the serial number for the device. We have heard it's the same device given to #LauraBabcock by her ex boyfriend Shawn Lerner.

So DM can't say someone "borrowed his phone" and sent incriminating texts, and he is an innocent dupe.

 

[Velma]

Though it's named "Mark's iPad," the email associated with the Apple ID is dell.millard at hotmail.com.
by Adam Carter 10:03 AM

Falconer says the first backup of this iPad happened on July 4, 2012, 10:43 a.m. That's around the time the Crown alleges Babcock was killed.

The file creation date is findable, Falconer says; "The first time this iPad was backed up, was July 4 2012, 10:43am." Right about when the crown alleges #LauraBabcock was killed.

 

[Velma]

Info on the iPad came from July 2012 to Jan. 2013, in the form of Skype calls, messaging, and iMessages.
by Adam Carter 10:06 AM

The presentation says both Mark Smich and his then-girlfriend Marlena Meneses were using the iPad at that time.
by Adam Carter 10:07 AM

Falconer says there was data on the backup that came from before July 4, and that came from other people who weren't Smich or Meneses.
by Adam Carter 10:08 AM

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews 3s3 seconds ago
The communication, Skype & messaging, on the iPad is between July 4 2012 and May 2013. Last backup Jan 2013. Data on the iPad preceded July 4 2012, Falconer found, used by someone other than Mark #Smich and his girlfriend Marlena Meneses, who used it from then on, he says.

 

[Nosey Parker]

So DM can't say someone "borrowed his phone" and sent incriminating texts, and he is an innocent dupe.

I think it's more to prove that it's his phone that was examined and not someone else's.

 

[Velma]

Lockhardt says we're "going to examine the usage of this iPad much more closely" later on.

Crown says we will focus on the extraction of information from this iPad. Falconer focused on Skype activity, pictures taken, instant messages, From July 2012 to Jan 2013 (Not May as I mistweeted earlier)

The Skype users are typically "Marlena" and "Mark" and "Mary.Smich", Falconer says. Also chats with Dellen #Millard.


Falconer says there were Skype accounts on the iPad with usernames Marlena.mark1 and Marlena&Mark.

While Falconer is testifying, Millard is sitting at a table taking notes on a computer.

Again, this is all just the "introduction phase" to this data. We'll be going way deeper today as this progresses.

Forensic officer talks about "Mark's iPad" -- first connected to Dellen Millard's computer on July 4, 2012 at 10:43 a.m. Crown alleges Laura Babcock was killed on either July 3 or 4, 2012.

Now another phone backup from another computer seized by police from Dellen #Millard's home. This computer was in the basement, with Andrew Michelski Facebook and gaming profile. Phone had a (416) number attached to it. "Andrew's iPhone."

 

[Velma]

The messages from this backup range from March 2011 to Jan. 2013. They reference "Andrew, Kowalski, or chalski."

March 2011 to Jan 2013 -- "Andrew," "Kowalski," "Michelski" seemed to be the names the user went by. #LauraBabcock

Next the laptop from the upstairs (blue) bedroom at 5 Maple Gate Court. "Rubix" is the nickname associated with it. You can see it to the left of the big screen in this photo.

I think we are in for some very interesting messages coming into evidence!!

We're now getting an explanation of various file types we'll see. SMS messages (texts), MMS messages (multimedia texts) chat or iMessages (coming from message services), JPEGs (picture files), PNGs (screen captures), MOVs (movie files), contacts, notes, and calendars.

I hope so. I still haven't seen much to connect Smich to the actual murder. Sure, its pretty evident that he was involved in the disposal of the body, and that he took or was given the iPad by Millard (it was registered to Millards apple ID).

"There was a huge amount of data that was necessary to review," Falconer says, adding there was a team of five people going over it. "It took them several months to do it."

iPhone and ipad backups were two sources of relevant information. Also, there were storage folders on a computer with pictures and videos. "Dell's hard" had pictures with 100s of subfolders. Some of them of particular interest to police. #Millard #LauraBabcock

Falconer is now giving an overview of storage folders from computers found at Millard's home. They had a lot of photos and videos, he says.
