Police: Wife's Fitbit Logs Steps After Husband Says She Died
ELLINGTON, Conn. (AP) — Police in Connecticut have cited Fitbit records in an arrest warrant for a 40-year-old man charged with killing his wife in 2015.
Richard Dabate (DAH-bayt) faces murder, tampering with evidence and making a false statement charges in the fatal shooting of 39-year-old Connie Dabate on Dec. 23, 2015.
Authorities say the 40-year-old Dabate told them a masked man had entered their home, shot his wife and tied him up before he burned the intruder with a torch. But the New York Daily News reports the arrest warrant filed by Connecticut State Police shows his wife's Fitbit was logging steps after the time Dabate told them she was killed.
Dabate's bail was set at $1 million last week. His lawyer told the Hartford Courant that his client maintains his innocence.
