Dave and Steve explain how detectives build investigative timelines using witness statements, surveillance footage, phone records, digital data, financial transactions, and other evidence. They break down how timelines help establish sequence, test alibis, expose contradictions, identify gaps, and determine what was physically possible. They also discuss why timestamps must be verified, how timeline evidence may be challenged in court, and why investigators must be willing to change direction when the facts disprove their original theory. A timeline isn’t built simply to prove guilt. It is built to test the evidence and help determine what actually happened.
