Next item is a pink Macbook that Portnoy was not able to access. Device belonged to #KaitlinArmstrong. Device was encrypted. S8 device is an iPhone SE 2022 version. We see startup screen for device. Portnoy says it either has been factory reset or it was just bought.

Court TV just reported that the state could rest today. If so, there must not be many more witnesses other than Christine. I am soooo waiting to hear of her testimony.

Has the ME testified yet (and I missed it)?

Has not. Only LE have described her wounds, as they responded to the scene.

More phones and photos being shown. Last week, Det. Spitler said he requested 25-30 search warrants in this case, partially for cellphones and technology.

Portnoy says only one phone had multiple SIM cards. An iPhone SE.

Portnoy says one thing was “not normal.” The numbers on one of the SIM cards did not match another element on the phone. However, there is a phone number associated. Portnoy says he found the phone number belonged to a ‘K. Armstrong.’

Portnoy talking about SIM card extraction. He says text messages aren’t actually saved to the SIM card anymore. No stored contacts on a SIM card either.

A Lenovo ThinkPad computer was also examined. Portnoy says it was encrypted and they could not extract data. Portnoy says it belonged to Wilson.

This surprises me. I figured state would rest this week, but today? Is CA on the witness list? I've not seen a witness list. Will she even be called? moo

Prosecution: were two of the items actual geolocation data for Moriah Wilson’s phone and Colin Strickland’s phone?Portnoy: Yes.

Yes, I have not seen, or do not recall, the whole witness list. But CA was in the first group of 8, that were sworn in on first day, and I recall that she is listed as a witness for both the state and the defense. Her testimony should be very interesting.

Also, Court TV may be guessing about the state resting today. They did say only that the state MAY rest today. I really expect CA's testimony to not be especially brief.

Geolocation data extracted from Wilson’s phone is 440 pages, Portnoy confirms. Document begins May 11, 2022 12:01:09 A.M. and ends May 11, 2022 11:58:29 P.M. Portnoy confirms over 2,000 data points were collected for that timeframe.

Portnoy does not do phone location analysis in his job. Longitude and latitude are captured.


11:26 AM · Nov 13, 2023


Portnoy confirms the geolocation data captured from Strickland’s phone was 460+ pages.

Portnoy is describing the screenshots on display, a text message from United Airlines about flight check in. Dated May 10th, indicates flight to Austin. Appears this was captured from Wilson’s data. A similar email being shown. A flight reservation for traveler Anna Moriah Wilson

anticipation is making me wait... lol

 

[arielilane]

There's a lot to be said for real time trials. moo

 

[arielilane]

As a reminder: on the stand is witness Daniel Portnoy - APD - who is a certified forensics computer examiner - His testimony continues from last Thursday.

@JessicaTaylorTX

Looking at data files on the iPhone 11. Dated May 2, 2022. Contains an image of a person on a bike. Portnoy says material saved in cache isnt purposefully saved by the user. Portnoy says very much possible the iPhone 11 was looking at image displayed in the thumbnail on instagram

@JessicaTaylorTX

We’re seeing more data with photo thumbnails, which Portnoy confirms were seen from Instagram and saved in the cache. One, though, is a screenshot. Appears to be itinerary for flight, showing traveler Armstrong going to PHX on May 2, 2022.


11:40 AM · Nov 13, 2023


One of the photos saved in the cache, shows a photograph of Moriah Wilson.


11:41 AM · Nov 13, 2023

@JessicaTaylorTX

Portnoy says the owner of the iPhone, whose cache we were just viewing, was Kaitlin Armstrong.

[arielilane]

One photo in report is a screenshot of American Airlines flight info for #KaitlinArmstrong from Austin to Phoenix on May 2, 2022. There are multiple photos of Moriah Wilson "saved" in cache from Armstrong's "iPhone 11" phone. This means she viewed them.


11:42 AM · Nov 13, 2023


We're looking at more images & video clips from Armstrong's phone. On January 13, 2022, the phone sends/receives through text photos of Armstrong pointing a gun at a shooting range target. You can only see her back.
