332: Bill Shute - Murder of LaToyia Figu...

Jerri Williams
About this episode

Retired agent Bill Shute reviews the investigation of the murder of LaToyia Figueroa, a high-profile crime case where Figueroa, five-months pregnant, was killed by her boyfriend and her body disposed of in Chester, PA, in July 2005. Bill worked with detectives from the PPD's homicide unit and, by analyzing cell site tower data, tracked the whereabouts of LaToyia Figueroa's boyfriend throughout the day she disappeared, as well as his journey that evening to Chester, PA. Bill Shute's expert witness testimony was one of the first times the FBI presented historical cellular data as evidence in court. In the second part of the episode, Bill reviews the development of the FBI's Cellular Analysis Survey Team (CAST). Contact Bill at https://apexcellularexperts.com/
