But if they can't get into the phone, how do they know the killer exchanged 109 messages?

If you look at your cell phone bill online, you should be able to every text that you sent and received. If those texts went to and from an overseas number that was known to belong to a terrorist, then they could make that conclusion.

Pretty well a stretch as far as I can see, as terrorists use burner phones almost exclusively.

I didn’t think of that...it does make sense. Thank you!
