About

The prosecution argued the maps narrowed Read's phone location to specific geographic arcs corroborating surveillance video timestamps. The defense used the tower 5721 distance data — approximately 1 mile from McCabe's residence versus 2.4 miles from 34 Fairview — to suggest Read's 5:20–5:37 a.m. phone activity was closer to McCabe's house than to the crime scene.

A series of Google Earth screenshots and maps depicting Karen Read's phone connecting to cell tower antennas over time between approximately 12:33 a.m. and 6:57 a.m. on January 29, 2022. One map specifically depicted the position of cell tower 5721 relative to 34 Fairview Road and 12 Country Lane.
