Show Notes

PART 2 OF 2

A dot on a map doesn’t cry. It doesn’t panic. It just… stops.

In Part 2, investigators pull location history from a family safety app, Life360, and the case pivots. A route becomes a record. A stop becomes a timestamp. And a timeline becomes something you can’t argue with.

We follow the coordinates into a field, track the evidence from the road to the courtroom, and unpack how the same tools that can hide a predator online can also become the witness that brings justice.

Hosted by Frank Battiston. Produced by Daniel Urdanivia. A PowerTale Podcasts production.
