16 | Erin Patterson's movements traced by location expert

The Case Of

About this episode

Today was all about that base (station), as a mobile phone location data expert traced Erin Patterson's alleged movements in the months before the deadly beef Wellington lunch. The data showed Erin's phone connecting to base stations in Loch and Outtrim – locations where death cap mushrooms were said to be growing. 

In this episode Kristian Silva and Stephen Stockwell explain the data analysis, including some of its limitations in pinpointing a person's precise movements.
