Dwight Falkofske, automotic forensic specialist for the FBI. He's the lab guy that extracted the raw data from the car parts. He's an electrical engineer with FBI training. He's twice been an expert witness. Worked on the Murdaugh case! In 2020 was a contractor for the FBI. Qualified as an expert witness.
Seems to think there were four devices, last witness said three.
Says that the job went right to the head of the queue because of the case being a missing child.
Says that they provided investigators preliminary data early on, the final report was a year later.
Only one of the items had relevant data. Talking about the chain of custody.
Getting asked to explain how the electronic control unit works. He has notes. He's talking through how he processed it instead I think?
The extracted raw data from the chips. Combed the file systems for information that was relevant. Location data. Geo co ordinates and timestamps. They make it into a file that can plot all the co ordinates onto Google Earth. Also provided a PDF of points of interest. Provided these to case agent Feb 12th. Verifies that the evidence, a SD card, contains the final data.
Defense checks that the final data did not have any discrepancies with the preliminary data. It didn't, so they have no objection.
And we're done with this witness!
Witnesses are going faster than they thought, so we get a long lunch! Two more witnesses today, locals.
Three tomorrow morning from out of state. Friday may be a down day?
