It s a big case. he was surprisingly calm. he was very quiet. didn t show much emotion at all. isaiah told investigators the same story he told jake. he picked halee up and dropped her off at the local park. what he did not know was that more than one dozen investigators were watching his interview remotely from the next room. they had proof he was lying. they checked park security cameras, and there was no trace of isaiah and halee. cell phone data showed where they had really gone. to the soccer field where halee s body had been found. we saw him leave her apartment complex. the cell phones are traveling together. they are definitely together at this point if you go by
Knowing exactly where somebody is based upon cell phone towers. this is critical because there s a lot of circumstantial evidence in this case. and if the defense can keep him away from the crime scene on the 13th of november 2022? that is critical. but at the same time, you re going to see a battle of the experts. there isn t a ton of forensics in these cases. this is one of those and making it that very notion. i mean, you ve got prosecutors arguing that cell phone data did ping at the scene of the crime the night of the murders, but they all say they found his dna on a knife sheath near one of the victims. i do wonder in terms of how people are going to view the data. and again, this trial is not begun. we don t have all what they re going to be able to provide. and i ve ultimately approved. but how do you weigh these two things in front of a jury? the notion of dna or the cell tower data again, this is all that forensics in the middle of a trial right now.
Be and what does the prosecution do with it? the prosecutors have their own evidence that says his phone pinged 12 times in that area before the murders and the day of the murders, it pinged twice. it s going to be a battle of experts. prosecutors also have a whole wealth of other information. what the defense is doing is what they should do. you grasp at straws. you hope it sticks. that s going to be the alibi. an alibi like that, in my experience, doesn t work. if he had someone in the car with him to say i was driving with him at that time. if he had, you know, a receipt from a store he went to at 7-eleven, that s more, but just to have one expert to say, from my experience in cell phone data he was going east and not south or south and not west, that s, you know, but they just need one juror, the defense, and if one juror believes, maybe the expert is right, then you have a hung jury. what about potentially a witness who says that was very common for him. he did go out a lot la

Former f.b.i. investigators joining me by phone. the pittsburgh f.b.i. is on the ground. what will they do first? certainly they provide support. the lead agency right now is the pittsburgh police department. the f.b.i. can bring to bear their hostage negotiation team if it comes down to that. they can provide some additional logistics with tracking of the individual. any idea who he is. maybe use the cell phone data to be able to get a realtime tracking to see where this person may or may not be. what paul said a few minutes ago. if the person is able to be isolated. not where he grabs a hostage and takes someone and holds up in their home or vehicle. harris: we don t know if there are any hostages. i want to put that out there now. we don t know if there is anybody with this individual. we don t know and hope not.
that gun was not a match for any of the homicides. it was not. if it s dwight jones, he still has that gun with him? right and they don t necessarily have enough yet to link dwight jones to these four murders. but there is still the dna. a detective who flew late sunday night to get dna samples from dwight s family now rushed those swabs back to the lab and within about four hours, we had a positive it on mr. jones. we at dateline cover a lot of murders. some of which take years to solve. this case was not one of those. less than 84 hours after this homicidal rampage begin, investigators were confident they had ided their killer. we knew he was our suspect and murder. at the same, time the dna was being analyzed, detectives were retracing dwight steps via cell phone data. sometime before he d been placed under surveillance,
Beach area on the barrier island part of jones beach state park for there are some issues here with logistics and timing. her death occurred approximately four five years before they were allegedly linked to the deaths of these three women. so i think there are issues here regarding forensics, availability of data, availability of cell phone data at the time of mr. vergata s death or locate him or her in and around the same time. there are some challenges in this investigation but i think authorities are certainly pursuing as best they can the identification first of all of all the victims and bring to closure and rest the families concerns about what ever happened to their loved ones. arthel: absolute we are certainly not dismissing the hard work by the defectives that is for sure. so listen rex heuermann has two children. was married until he s charged with three counts of first-degree murder.
