"You look at the records and then you look at them again," Whitfield said. "You may look at them two, three, even several times. You are trying to get them to tell you more than they want to in that first look."
KB's cellphone pinged on the Woodruff property up to two days after she was last heard from by friends in Anderson, police Lt. Tony Tilley said.
Ezell and Whitfield declined to discuss specific details about Brown or Carver's cellphones and how soon they believed they knew where to find the couple. The detectives said that getting phone records does not always happen quickly.
"Just because you have a search warrant, it may still take a phone company weeks or a month to respond," Ezell said.
