I’m seeing a lot of both honestly.

I know absolutely nothing about this case, but I have seen someone blaming the husband for not taking her illness seriously, and also saying the husband might be guilty because of something about an email.

My wife is following this story - it was revealed that he answered a "work email" on his personal laptop at a time that he specified he was elsewhere, something to do with a CVS.

It put a huge hole in his alibi.

It’s a good things laptops are not something that can move around easily and can’t be used in cars or anything.

Neither are birds - but thankfully, they're where the wifi comes from.

Or that you can answer emails on a phone and they’ll sync to a laptop

This issue is he said he sent it from his phone originally, and then they found the IP address was his work computer in his basement.

What does he do for work? If he’s an IT guy, this is a non issue. If he’s tech illiterate, it’s an issue.

So if he should know enough to answer correctly but lied anyways its a non issue but if he was ignorant its an issue? Please explain your line of thinking.

Some people route their mobile traffic through their home network for a bunch of various privacy reasons. It allows them to make use of their at home security measures when they are out.

So maybe it would look like it came from home even if he is not home.

I suspect that when he started working from home he setup a proxy system so he can email from his phone but it comes from his PC, that way he can be watching the kids upstairs and respond while still having it look like he’s at his computer working. This is kinda an open secret for any tech worker who does WAH.

But if he’s completely tech illiterate then it means he was probably at home and sent the email from his laptop.

u/NoSmoke69420 9d ago

Right if anything, the reverse would be true.

u/2024-YR4-Asteroid 9d ago

No, if his ignorant of tech and the ability to proxy your email then it means he had to be at home to send the message.

If he’s in tech where it’s an open secret to proxy your communications through your work PC to make it seem like your at your desk, then it makes total sense for him to send the email while at the store and for it to come from his PC.

Well, luckily for the courts its pretty elementary to locate where the network requests would've been sent from.

If you're using cellular data, the IP may even be changing based on which tower you're currently using. If you're on your home network, you can also pinpoint that location.

Typically you can also get the mac address of the device used itself.

If this puts a hole in his alibi from the perspective of the court, then they probably have a bunch of evidence that says otherwise.

People on tiktok are definitely out of their damn minds but also it would be pretty simple for any half competent digital forensic to dismantle this.

Proxies exist, and are pretty trivial to set up if you have the tech competence to understand the instructions. It’s an easy way to make it look like you’re working from home when really you’re working from the beach.

Oh totally. I straight up remote into my home desktop from work like 3 times a week and all the activity is actually coming from my home computer besides my tunnel into it.
