Wheeler-Weaver’s cell phone searches

On Thursday, prosecutors unveiled hundreds of pages of records detailing how Wheeler-Weaver used his cellphone to investigate how to create homemade drugs powerful enough to knock someone unconscious.

The details connecting Wheeler-Weaver’s cell phone searches, interests in deadly poisons, and his attempts to contact other women forwere heard in a full day of testimony in Newark’s Superior Court on Thursday.

Wheeler-Weaver murder past summary

In early December, police apprehended Wheeler-Weaver for the murder of 20-year-old college student Sarah Butler and have since been indicted on 11 counts including kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault, and desecration of human remains. When he was first caught, his alleged modus operandi was only beginning to taking shape – according to NBC New York

The disappearance of Sarah Butler

Butler, who also worked as a lifeguard at the local YMCA and was a second-year student at New Jersey City University, was an exception to the rule, prosecutors said.

After she disappeared, her friends and family launched a sting operation that would eventually identify Wheeler-Weaver as the prime suspect and see him apprehended for the months-long crime spree that took place in abandoned houses and budget motels across northern New Jersey.

Wheeler-Weaver has admitted that he was with each of the murder victims shortly before they disappeared but denies responsibility for their deaths.

His attorneys say each of the victims ‘put themselves in vulnerable positions’ and said their client was fully cooperative with law enforcement throughout their investigation, which they argued is ‘not the conduct of a guilty individual’.
