IMHO this is key. It's not just a coincidence that the Frontier began moving exactly when Sergio left for work. The key is finding out how the Frontier's occupant(s) were alerted - hacked into the doorbell camera? Had a tracking device on Sergio's vehicle? A call or text from a burner phone, or someone in neighboring house who could see the entire thing?

I agree!

I l completely agree with this isn’t the normal time that Sergio left. Very coincidental that it happened minutes after he left.

This has been discussed before, but always good to revisit.

I believe the shooter was pulled over and was either watching the Ring cam to make sure Sergio left, or was watching a Wi-Fi app that shows when devices fall off the network. For instance, my mesh Deco app shows when devices are active or not, even when I am in town using cell data on my phone.

This suggests to me that the shooter was close with Liz and Sergio. I am mighty sure I know who it is but I just do not have concrete definitive proof. The information I have learned about them is just WAY too "coincidental".

One could potentially pair his phone via Bluetooth with several cars, I wonder how far from the car your phone has to be for it to still be “seen” on the car screen. I hope I made it clear.

Or access to his location on his phone.

I have wondered since first seeing those times how accurate they are and where they come from. Did someone sync various video sources so they are all on the same timeline and the perp really did thread a needle on their arrival?

Kaitlyn Armstrong (an almost identical case to Liz's) used a bicycling app that mapped out routes to monitor her target Mo Wilson's location.

Mo was a professional cyclist. I could see Liz and Sergio using location apps with people they were close to for things like keeping up with everyone on multiple levels of a hospital, convention, or charity event.

I could also totally picture them sharing their location with someone they may want to meet at a vacation spot....not saying they planned to, just saying....its an idea.

I wonder if LE has looked into any historical devices that may have connected to the Ring camera, the WiFi mesh network access and thoroughly examined any and all kinds of location sharing services on both devices?

I always wondered why they don't ask people to check their routers to see who tried to login. If you sit somewhere, your phone tries to connect.

Even if it was a burner phone or device with no SIM card, they still have MAC addresses than can be traced back to the purchaser under most circumstances.

I sometimes lean towards the idea that the object the shooter was showing Liz in their left had was a phone or tablet that was a burner or was in airplane mode.
