Could Someone Else Have Used the Wi-Fi?? #maryyoder #truecrimestories #truecrimeshorts | Forensic Files

There is also a strong possible link to the poison. Maybe Mary ordered it for gardening and Bill then used it against
her or maybe he bought it. Either way, he would potentially know what to do with it. I mean, remember how Mary's
sister mentioned that Bill had experimented with growing marijuana back in the '80s?
Actually, the letter of intent to the supplier to get the colchicine was all about manipulating plant genetics.
Right. >> And that was Bill's world, not Katie's. So, the defense is saying that she
didn't know anything about that. I mean, sure. Maybe she didn't, but how do they
explain away all of the digital stuff tying Katie to the colchicine? Like, there's so much.
>> Her defense attorney, Pelly, he goes after that, too. He says that the state's forensic expert is unqualified,
uncertified, a college student who cherry-picked data to fit his theory. And he argues that the digital trail
isn't as solid as it looks. I guess home Wi-Fi, which Adam actually set up, wasn't password protected. So, anyone
nearby could have used the IP address. So, theoretically, they're saying someone could have been outside the
Conley's house and connected to [music] their Wi-Fi. Yeah, if the range was wide
enough or somebody who would have been over at their house.

In the Mary Yoder case, Kaitlyn Conley’s defense raised alternative theories about who may have ordered colchicine.

They suggested that Dr. William “Bill” Yoder could have had knowledge of the substance, pointing to his background and past experimentation with plant cultivation. They also challenged the prosecution’s digital evidence, arguing that the forensic analysis was flawed and that the Conley home Wi-Fi was not password protected.
