Digital Footprints: How an Apple Watch Solved a College Murder

When 21-year-old Ole Miss student Ally Kostial was found shot to death at a remote fishing camp, investigators faced a seemingly impossible case. Her phone was missing, witnesses were scarce, and the killer had vanished. But Ally's Apple Watch, charging innocuously on her nightstand, contained the digital breadcrumbs that would lead police straight to her murderer.

This is the chilling true story of how Brandon Theesfeld's months of meticulous planning—from researching Ted Bundy's methods to retrieving his father's gun—unraveled through the very technology he never thought to consider. Follow investigators as they piece together text messages, GPS data, and internet searches to build an airtight case in just 48 hours.

A gripping tale of digital-age detective work, intimate partner violence, and how a smartwatch became the voice from beyond the grave that ensured justice for Ally Kostial.
