BERNALILLO, N.M. (AP) A cellphone company analyst says wireless records are unclear on the whereabouts of a former Albuquerque police officer around the night his wife was found dead. Verizon Wireless analyst Jody Citizen told jurors Thursday that records showed a 15-hour location gap for Levi Chavez.
The former officer is accused of shooting his 26-year-old wife, Tera Chavez, with his department-issued gun in 2007 at their Los Lunas home and then trying to make her death look like a suicide.
During cross-examination, defense attorney David Serna got Citizen to admit that that cellphone records also showed that Levi Chavez was in Albuquerque before he wife was found dead. He said those records supported his client's story on where Chavez was before coming home and finding his wife.
