Yes.
Quote:Is their a serial number or anything assigned to them which will lead back to where the phone was purchased and can a person pay cash for a phone and not have ANY record who purchased it, besides potential video footage during the purchase?
It's probably not that complicated. Yes, there are serial numbers and assigned phone numbers to various companies. Throw away phones are traceable to an extent. In a case where such a phone was used, I'm sure the only evidence necessary would be a call coming to J's phone at the time T said she called, and/or testimony of other friends saying what T's phone number was. Remember Sharita got a call from T as did Johnny's Mom.
Quote:Just wondering if murderers could have used a phone while at the crime scene or nearby it if they thought it was untraceable to them (for example they could have used it to stay in touch with Tiffany and she could have one as well if she is involved in dealing) that night when it CAN be traced easily and come back to haunt them.
I don't think anything is totally untraceable when it comes to electronic footprints. Especially given T admits to making a call. I think she did this because she had a known, registered number and she needed to try and explain contact with JC on the night of the murders.
