Could Daylight Saving's CHANGE The Timeline? | Forensic Files

How convenient that it is the exact time that Trip's phone sends that message. So, I open Google
and I start typing, "When was daylight savings in November 2024?" >> No. >> It was November freaking 3rd, 2024.
On this night, >> it was 1:40 twice. >> That means that the missing 49 minutes could actually be an hour and 49
minutes. >> Right, cuz at 2:00 a.m. it goes back to 1:00 a.m. for like fall back.
>> So, it's possible, not definitive, but possible, that Trip's phone sent that at 1:41 and
then when 2:00 hits, >> 20 minutes, 19 minutes later, it goes back to 1:00. So, >> was the body cam footage at 1:40
actually like 2:40 if it wouldn't have been daylight savings? Now, we went right to Jennifer to try and like pin
this down and she said she didn't even realize that the time changed that night. Like she was so caught up in
looking for her son. >> lot going on. >> Yeah, the thing is she's like, "I don't
She can't even pin down." She's like, "I don't know if it would have changed before we ever even left the house or
like as we are out in the woods." >> She doesn't know which 1:40 it was. >> If it was after though, like as they're
in the woods, like that actually makes so much sense to me because one thing that was really throwing me was how
Trip's dad was saying like they were out there alone. >> There was no one there.
>> long time. Right, yeah, but cuz when I look at the activity logs from the sheriff's office, it seems like, I don't
know, maybe an hour, maybe even less. So, you know, was that just because it felt like forever because your son is
missing and you're looking by yourself? Were the logs wrong? Or like is it like there's like this weird hour
that's like not real or accounted for? >> Yeah.

While reviewing the timeline in Tripp Brazeale's case, one detail stood out: November 3, 2024 was the night daylight saving time ended.

That means the hour between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. occurred twice, raising questions about how certain timestamps may line up with phone records, body camera footage, and search activity.

It's only a possibility, not a conclusion, but it adds another layer to an already confusing timeline.
