From what I can gather, LE hasn't released how they know this level of information, but some apps will store or record the GPS location.I apologize for this very basic question, but would appreciate any clarification a fellow WSer could provide:
Ron is apparently the fellow who found the phone, harness and leash on the bench at approx. 9:35 that morning, correct? But the same news reports have discussed a “10 minute window of time” between 9:10 (when she was seen in the upper field) and 9:20 (when her phone was returned to the bench).
What is that 9:20 location of her phone on the bench based on? Her phone’s GPS?
Either way, LE hasn't given any specifics.
Despite what some people think about mobile phones tracking every movement and recording all the time, it just isn't that simple. They are capable of doing that, but depending on the apps in use and how the users has configured the phone, it could literally have no data.
I think LE are lucky to have the info they do, if I disappeared in the same circumstances, LE isn't getting any data from my phone due to the security/privacy precautions I take, however, I'm a tech professional, the average user would leave some data trail that may be useful.
