Prosecutors spent much of Monday morning using cell phone tracking data to build their case against Howard Wayne Lewis.
Lewis is on trial in Walker County for the murder of his 16-month-old son Aiyden Lewis and the child’s grandmother Shanta Faye Crawford. Their bodies were found in the afternoon of July 24, 2013 at their home on M. Williams Rd., west of Huntsville.
On the sixth day of the capital murder trial, Walker County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. John Davila testified that he noticed a near five hour gap in tower pings from Lewis’ phone on the morning of the double-homicide.
Davila — who was accepted as an expert in cell phone forensic extraction — testified that there was a pattern with the long gaps in usage from someone that was shown to be an “avid phone user.” According to Davila’s testimony, Lewis’ T-Mobile phone pinged off a cell tower near Hutchins at 7:44 a.m. and the next one would not come until 12:57 p.m. on the western side of Dallas, near Red Raider Ln.
