Data: Victim's cell pinged along Hernandez's alleged route
FALL RIVER, Mass. — Tracking data shown to the jury in the murder trial of former NFL star Aaron Hernandez indicates that the victim's cellphone pinged along the same route that prosecutors say Hernandez took that night.
The data shown Thursday roughly tracks the route prosecutors say Hernandez took from Odin Lloyd's Boston home to the industrial park where Lloyd was found shot to death June 17, 2013.
A T-Mobile employee testified about cell sites that pinged Lloyd's phone starting at 2:32 a.m., when prosecutors have said Hernandez picked Lloyd up.
Among them was one near the Massachusetts Turnpike at 2:53 a.m., which is the same time a photo was taken showing a car Hernandez had rented driving through a toll plaza.
The phone went south from there, ending at the industrial park.
