I don’t know about that. Some of that stuff can only become significant once you have a lead suspect with cell phone records that you can compare against the wealth of anonymous data they’ve accumulated in order to find a match. They also had NYPD involved at one point and used a Stingray device.That would suggest some form of communication between two individuals.
We know from the AT&T and Geofence search warrant that nothing of significance was found. Unless of course the method of communication was not covered/not possible to be covered in the search warrant.
One of my concerns, though, is the length of time that has elapsed now vs the length of time that carriers keep cell phone and tower data before discarding it. I think the timeframe is usually 4 or 5 years. Maybe @Jethro4WS has some info on this.
