Spitler is the 23rd witness called up in this trial. Prosecution is recalling where Monday’s testimony left off - talking about the Marshals collecting property. Spitler says he collected the property from that point. It was taken to APD and two other detectives searched it.
Prosecution taking about details that go into an arrest warrant. Asks about what ballistics information was included in arrest warrant. Spitler essentially says he put information saying ‘this firearm’ was a match for the one used.
Spitler says he has since not included the verbiage he used in other warrants bc it wasn’t exactly correct.
prosecution says there’s been testimony about videos, eventually supplied to police, and asked about time stamp. Spitler confirms he’s the one who asked Vuong (previous witness) to verify the time stamp. Says the time stamp was 6 mins off.
Spitler says he did not put the six minute delay info in his arrest warrant but did note it at another time. Spitler then says the time stamp didn’t fully match up with the other videos, and he came to the conclusion that the video is 3 minutes off instead of 6.
Spitler says the conclusion on Vuong’s video is based on data later obtained from Armstrong’s Jeep
Spitler is talking about an ex-bc of Wilson’s, Gunner Shaw. Spitler says the scene seemed personal and he wanted to track down anyone that had a personal relationship with her. He found the lead from a Reddit post mentioning a name similar to Wilson, mentioning an abusive ex.
Spitler says he found Shaw and he cooperated. Spitler says the cellphone provider would not give Shaw’s info out without a warrant. Spitler says Shaw sent him his flight info/rental car receipt, putting him 700 miles away when Wilson was killed.
Spitler says the Reddit account continued to make more posts - but he stopped looking at it July 10. He said that there was no way the Reddit account belonged to Mo Wilson.
Spitler says he also looked into an Allen Lim, who he says was close to Wilson. He can’t recall if people insinuated they had dated or were just close friends. Spitler requested proof of his location, and Lim cooperated. Lim provided cell records, and Strava account.
Spitler says they estimated that him finishing a ride and going to airport, he would’ve landed around 9:15-9:30 right as the murder was taking place. Spitler says he did not believe he had probable cause to investigate either one, but did out of an abundance of caution.
