Police used warrantless cell phone triangulation to find ad agency executive Nicholas Francisco
May 23, 2008
It appears that the police actually did make some sort of attempt to find Publicis West Advertising Agency executive Nicholas Francisco, using his cell phone to try to trace his location.
In March, sheriff’s deputies used the same technology to look for Nicholas Francisco, a SeaTac father of three who went missing in February. Phone records didn’t turn up any new leads, Deputy Rodney Chinnick said, but the case remains active.
“It’s still a work in progress, and it will continue to be until he’s located,” Chinnick said.
If they had been looking for Rider or Francisco as part of a criminal investigation, investigators likely would have needed a search warrant to get their cell phone records.
