It was her Fitbit that gave him away.
In December 2015, Connie Dabate was shot dead in her Connecticut home. When police questioned her husband, Richard, he said that a masked intruder had broken in and attacked her. But the Fitbit she wore on her waistband told a different story. The data it had collected showed that she’d walked 1,217 feet around the house in the hour after Richard said she’d been killed. That information called his story into question and led prosecutors to charge him with murder in April.
