Speaker 2: The records also show that Cecily's phone was turned off 503 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,479 Speaker 2: or destroyed sometime early Saturday morning. 504 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 3: At a certain point, there's no more pings with Cecily's phone, 505 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 3: so they knew her time of death would have been 506 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 3: somewhere in the early morning hours of that Saturday. 507 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 2: Which meant detectives were most likely on the right track. 508 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 3: London was the only person known to be with Cecily 509 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 3: during the window of when Cecily would have been murdered. 510 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,880
