In the ongoing Deli murders trial, significant new evidence was presented regarding Libby German's phone interactions just before her disappearance. A former FBI forensic examiner, Stacy Eldridge, testified for nearly two hours, discussing digital data retrieved from the phone by the Indiana State Police. She discovered that a headphone jack was inserted into Libby's phone at 5:45 PM on February 13, 2017, shortly before the phone ceased tracking movement and disconnected from cell towers. This information marks the first indication of possible external interference with her phone, fueling a heated debate in the courtroom about its implications on the case. The prosecution argued that poor cell service could explain the disconnection, while the defense suggested the presence of a device to block signals. Other witnesses included a psychiatrist specializing in memory and false confessions, and a forensic scientist who examined firearm evidence and crime scene reconstruction. The case continues to unfold with key points being deliberated upon, focusing on the complexities of digital forensics in unraveling the circumstances surrounding Libby Germanβs tragic disappearance.
