Deleted Signal apps on seized phones demand forensic wizardry, justifying the custody plea. Prime plotter Shubham Lonkar’s absence spurs a multi-state manhunt, with no stone unturned.
Attorneys for the trio accused of supplying the car insisted on limited involvement post-handoff. Detectives parried, stressing irrecoverable chats without time-intensive custody work.
