How convenient that it is the exact time that Trip's phone sends that message. So, I open Google
00:00:08
and I start typing, "When was daylight savings in November 2024?" >> No. >> It was November freaking 3rd, 2024.
00:00:20
On this night, >> it was 1:40 twice. >> That means that the missing 49 minutes could actually be an hour and 49
00:00:31
minutes. >> Right, cuz at 2:00 a.m. it goes back to 1:00 a.m. for like fall back.
00:00:37
>> So, it's possible, not definitive, but possible, that Trip's phone sent that at 1:41 and
00:00:46
then when 2:00 hits, >> 20 minutes, 19 minutes later, it goes back to 1:00. So, >> was the body cam footage at 1:40
00:00:56
actually like 2:40 if it wouldn't have been daylight savings? Now, we went right to Jennifer to try and like pin
00:01:01
this down and she said she didn't even realize that the time changed that night. Like she was so caught up in
00:01:07
looking for her son. >> lot going on. >> Yeah, the thing is she's like, "I don't
00:01:11
She can't even pin down." She's like, "I don't know if it would have changed before we ever even left the house or
00:01:16
like as we are out in the woods." >> She doesn't know which 1:40 it was. >> If it was after though, like as they're
00:01:22
in the woods, like that actually makes so much sense to me because one thing that was really throwing me was how
00:01:26
Trip's dad was saying like they were out there alone. >> There was no one there.
00:01:31
>> long time. Right, yeah, but cuz when I look at the activity logs from the sheriff's office, it seems like, I don't
00:01:36
know, maybe an hour, maybe even less. So, you know, was that just because it felt like forever because your son is
00:01:42
missing and you're looking by yourself? Were the logs wrong? Or like is it like there's like this weird hour
00:01:50
that's like not real or accounted for? >> Yeah.
