BOBBYWOO Someone will probably have already answered by the time I finish typing. It should be noted, JRR & CWW are "adept at getting others to pay their bills." Taylor Shomaker stated JRR was on his brother's telephone plan, a law student in California. KMoran (Angela Wideman Wright's mother) was paying for Angela's and Curtis Wayne Wright's phone. Oh yeah, and Jerry Lubinski apparently purchased computers and tools for CWW, too! (Are you beginning to see a pattern?) And, the new "in-laws" also paid for groceries, too...Oh brother!! (Excuse me if I sound a little sarcastic, but these people were all adults, not teenagers..... Good grief, cut-the-cord!)
Okay, (straightening my hair & adjusting my jacket, after my rant...sorry) back to the "burner phones" can be "unique" in that THEY MUST BE ACTIVATED FROM ANOTHER TELEPHONE!!! (And that usually leads Wright to the killers home, someone close to them or another home in which they had access to a phone line....and NO NAME REQUIREMENT. I have been thinking JL's home phone, KM's home phone or sadly maybe even AW's work place) If you purchase a phone from a "cell phone retailer" Cricket, NET10, PCS etc...they set up an account and activate the phones for you, and ask for a lot of information. Perps want as little as possible revealed about themselves. In a NorthEast case, the perps used burner phones that were activated by a friend. The police could not get a "name" from the carrier, but the carrier COULD IDENTIFY THE PHONE NUMBER USED TO ACTIVATE THE PHONE. Lo and behold, the phone number was linked to a friend of the murderer and the case quickly solved.
Did that help with the "burner" phone concept?
