Very glad to see they were able to catch this guy for the murder of his 67 year old stepdaughter and the Fitbit that she wore on her wrist helped them piece the story together. More here.

A 90-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly killing his stepdaughter after investigators gained information from the Fitbit she wore at the time of the incident, according to police.

When authorities responded to a welfare check Sept. 13 at the San Jose home of 67-year-old Karen Navarra, they found her dead at the scene, the San Jose Police Department said.
She had a gaping laceration on her neck, a deep laceration on her head and a kitchen knife in her hand, according to the statement of facts written by police and provided by the Santa Clara District Attorney's Office.

A medical examiner determined Navarra couldn't have caused all the wounds herself and detectives believed the scene was staged to appear as a suicide, the document said.
Police spoke to Navarra's stepfather, 90-year-old Anthony Aiello, who is married to Navarra's 92-year-old mother.
 

OMG!!! a 92 year old killing an almost 70 year old, Incredible. I suspect he must have taken her by suroprise..maybe while she was sitting down, otherwise she'd probably have been too strong for him,

Amazing what technology can do these days... and I hope even at 90 he feels the full weight of the law!!
