He dropped his cellphone, which authorities picked up.
On it, they found contact numbers for Neri, and called him, without identifying themselves.
They offered to return his cellphone if he would meet with them.
He did, and was taken into custody."
Sorry JR, but the guy wsa from the Fresno area. How hard would it be to catch him?
Last year these dudes broke into an apartment and stole a bunch of stuff including a digital camera. The took a bunch of photos of themselves whooping it up. They didn’t know the camera had a wi-fi card and the photos automatically loaded to the real owners web-site. The were apprehended shortly after.
Not exactly conclusive proof. Neri could maintain that the “real thief” stole or found his cellphone. I wouldn’t bet money on it, but an attorney could make a case for it as an alternate theory, raising reasonable doubt.
Assuming that it is correct that he was from Visalia, Visalia is about 45 miles S/E of Fresno, in Tulare County. Orange Cove is in the S/E area of Fresno County, close to the Tulare County Border, but Orange Cove is still closer to Visalia than Fresno, and is easily accessible via Hwy 63.
LOL - I just love it.
I agree with that. An interview would have to get incriminating statements or there might have been witnesses. It has happened in the that someone dropped a wallet at a scene of a burglary, then when the cops made contact, said that the wallet had been stolen. Without evidence tying the person to the scene other than the wallet, the cops are unlikely to make the arrest.
LOL!
Another LOL!
