why would they have randomly "pinged" his phone?
The cell phone towers are always pinging phones. All they had to do was get the records and start eliminating possibles.

why would they have randomly "pinged" his phone?
Not when they are turned off they arent. Phones are constantly pinging the towers either, unless you're changing cells or it needs to establish a connection from some reason. If I set my phone on my desk all day and dont touch it, it will have only "pinged" the tower a couple of times that day. If I turn my phone off in cell a and drive to cell b the tower in cell b wont register that phone unless I turn it back on. Driving to a crime scene with your phone on in your pocket and then turning it off in the driveway before you head in to murder 4 people really wouldnt do you much good anyway as the cell tower will have a record of your phone being in it's cell and the time. Cell towers aren't routinely geolocating every phone in their network all the time.The cell phone towers are always pinging phones.

Trial, conviction and sentencing before year endGraduate of Criminal Justice major left his cell phone on while murdering victims.
Evidently he left his bowie knife scabbard at the crime scene, with his DNA on it.
Thank God criminals are so stupid.

Cell Phone Pinging Cell Towers: How Often and When? - Tech With Tech
Here's how often and when a cell phone pings the cell towers:techwithtech.com
Here’s how often and when a cell phone pings the cell towers:
The number of pings primarily depends on phone usage.
A phone will ping when it gets close to a new tower, when you change the connection status and when it needs to establish a connection (such as for a phone call).
If left completely passive and stationary, most phones send a handful of pings each day.
One of the most common times a phone will ping is when you use airplane mode.
The software is designed to send out a ping when you go into airplane mode.
This establishes your location before the phone becomes unreachable from the carrier network.
After this ping goes out, the phone will be incapable of communicating with the carrier network until airplane mode is turned off.
Yeah. I got a notification on my phone from Google yesterday informing me that I've driven more in the mother of December than any other time. Then it showed me where I've been every day of December.They can still ping your phone even when it is off.
Just an FYI for you....
I beg to differand how he won't be getting laid ever again, only 28 years old
I mean by a woman. Prison rape is not my definition of "getting laid." Maybe it is yours.I beg to differ
Stop driving the mother of December you dirty old man!Yeah. I got a notification on my phone from Google yesterday informing me that I've driven more in the mother of December than any other time.
He may have had an "oh, shit" moment and went back to the crime scene after he realized that the sheath to his knife was missing. That sheath could be a key piece of evidence.Graduate of Criminal Justice major left his cell phone on while murdering victims.
Evidently he left his bowie knife scabbard at the crime scene, with his DNA on it.
Thank God criminals are so stupid.

It's weird that BCK's teacher, Dr. Katherine Ramsland, at DeSales University actually co-wrote BTK's autobiography. It makes me wonder if BCK is also a serial killer who was inspired by BTK.He got bad advice from his teacher, the BTK killer

Yes, even when they are turned off. A good friend of mine is a retired VP from a major telecom company.
They call it an undocumented feature.
Remove the Sim card, and then it is a different story.
A phone that is turned off is difficult to track because it stops sending signals to cell towers. However, the service provider or internet provider can show the last location once it’s switched back on.
And a good friend of yours was lying to you.
Phones do not ping towers when off.

Can My Phone Be Tracked If Location Services Are Off? | McAfee
Your smartphone comes with built-in location services, which are useful if you lose it. But can your phone be tracked if location services are switched off?www.mcafee.com
They also said the guy turned his phone off before he committed the crime and turned it back on later. They do not know his whereabouts when his phone was off.
No, he wasn't lying to me. And there is plenty that the "authorities" will tell you that isn't true.

Pull the battery instead of the sim.No, he wasn't lying to me. And there is plenty that the "authorities" will tell you that isn't true.
Depends which end of the pecker you're on.I mean by a woman. Prison rape is not my definition of "getting laid." Maybe it is yours.
