Later that night, his phone was also recorded as receiving data from towers on the way up to the Portage area, where the phone was detected between 10:37 p.m. and 11:03 p.m. Previously in the trial, lead investigators in the case said that area was someplace they attempted to search after cadaver dogs detected something in the area, but dive teams had to be pulled out of the water before anything was found because the current of the Wisconsin River was too dangerous.
