They also include Google map searches for the restaurant she sent her husband to before the killed her children in their Duxbury home on Jan. 24, 2023. 02:05 "I performed an advanced logical extraction on the iPhone device belonging to Lindsay Clancy." "An advanced logical extraction of an iPhone is essentially an iTunes backup. It is the information or data from the phone that you, as a user, can see, including images, calls, text messages, browser artifacts, basically everything that the person would see that uses an iPhone." 04:24 "Cellebrite physical analyzer tool automatically parses the data into various categories, and it processes media, various forms of media, images, videos." "It processes different direct communication, whether it be through a web application such as Instagram or the native messaging application on the device known as iMessage, so it parses the information in automatically, and you're allowed to look at different categories." 05:44 "I performed the most comprehensive extraction type that I was able to do at the time of the examination." 13:15 "So, for example, here at message 6951, it says it's an instant message. It's outgoing, meaning it's going out from Lindsay's phone?" "That's correct." "It's on December 21, 2022 at 2:57 p.m., correct?" "Yes, Eastern Time." 14:25 "Did you also do a report regarding things that were downloaded onto Ms. Clancy's phone?" "Yes." 17:12 "And here, where you see 10773 and 10774, and they both state, can you treat a sociopath? Those those are two entries that that have basically the same search term, correct?" "Yes." "And that was on January 20, 2023?" "Yes." 22:04 "I'm sad and depressed because I am not able to parent my third child like my first. I want to treat any one of my babies like my first, but I know that's not a feasible possibility. I'm sad that I stopped breastfeeding. I feel not as connected with Cal now. I think I sort of resent my other children because they prevent me from treating Cal like my first baby, and I know that's not fair to them..." 33:15 "This is another timeline report with the first event starting January 24, 2023, at 4o'clock p.m. ..." 40:35 "And so that would be an outgoing phone call from the defendant's phone to CVS." "Yes." 45:46 "We have a message from Lindsay to Patrick where she says Mediterranean Power Bowl. Correct?" "Yes." "We have a message 115 from Patrick to Lindsay at 508 p.m. Okay, I'll do scallop and pork belly risotto. Is that right?" "Yes." 48:17 "we have an outgoing call from the defendant's phone to Patrick Clancy for 14 seconds at 5:34 p.m. Correct?" "Yes." "That means the call lasted approximately 14 seconds." "Correct." 50:11 "And did you do a report of all the calendar activity for Lindsay Clancy's phone from august 4, 2022, to January 31st, 2023?" "I did." 50:40 "Did you also do a report on all the text messages between the defendant's phone and an individual that had been labeled "mommy"?" "Yes." "And was that for the month of January 2023?" "I did."
