This episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of Bonnie, focusing on phone records and the lack of evidence surrounding her case. Key topics include the discrepancies in cell phone activity, the challenges in obtaining records, and the implications of human error in investigations.

Rick, a person close to Bonnie, mentions that he tried to call her when she went missing, but police reports indicate no calls were made from the home phone. The episode highlights the absence of activity on Bonnie's cell phone days before her disappearance.

Concerns are raised about the reliability of the cell phone provider's information, as the police did not obtain Rick's cell phone records. The discussion emphasizes the difficulties in accessing accurate records from 1997 and how this affects the investigation.

Listeners are prompted to consider the potential for human error in the collection of evidence, particularly in older cases where technology was different. The conversation raises questions about what was logged by cell providers at that time.

And also, I didn't mention this yet, but on phone records, Bonnie had a cell phone with her, and Rick said that he
00:00:07
tried to call her when she was missing, but police say that the home phone records don't show any calls. [music]
00:00:13
And the cell phone provider says that there had been no activity on Bonnie's cell since like a day or two before she
00:00:19
went missing. But the problem I have with this is they never got Rick's cell phone records. And when we asked to see
00:00:26
Bonnie's records to prove that there were no unanswered incoming calls, the police said they don't have them. They
00:00:31
said there was like some kind of issue getting the records from the phone company. So, they were just told
00:00:36
verbally by her provider, which I don't know. I've seen enough human error over the years that like that is not going to
00:00:44
like convince it or like I'm not going to convict someone for that [music] based on that.
00:00:47
>> Well, yeah. And I also wonder what the cell provider actually logged. Like did
00:00:53
unanswered incoming calls even register back then? I mean there's so many questions.
00:00:58
>> I don't know for sure since we could not obviously get the actual records. And I
00:01:02
know every provider is different. And we're talking 1997. That's a whole different beast. But I mean I've seen in
00:01:07
other true crime cases that date back to the '90s where back then it would only log the calls that would be charged. And
00:01:14
you were only charged if you placed the call or answered the incoming call.
