After Caroline Nilsson alleged that a group of men broke into her home and murdered her mother-in-law, investigators in Adelaide, Australia used data tracking Myrna Nilsson’s heart rate from her Apple Watch to see that her time of death was actually hours before Caroline alleged it was in her story! Caroline, who was 26 at the time, emerged from her house just after 10 pm, bound and had the neighbours alert authorities. Instead, her mother-in-law was found to be dead based on her Apple Watch data, 15 minutes or so before 7 pm, leaving a gap that put Caroline in the hot seat! (View Highlight)
Our last case, takes us to the Liverpool in the United Kingdom where Mark ‘Iceman’ Fellows was handed a life sentence for murder in 2019¹⁵. Fellows, a gangland hitman, was suspected in the murders of Paul ‘Mr. Big’ Massey and John Kinsella but there was no hard evidence against him. That is until investigators noticed his Garmin watch and started to look back at his GPS data, finding that he was in fact in the area of the two victims in what were deemed reconnaissance missions, with this GPS data connected him to both murders as well. The evidence from Fellows’ watch, the Garmin he wore during running and cycling which were also his hobbies, was used to give him a life sentence, which he is serving out today. (View Highlight)
