Investigators follow a digital trail of text messages from the watch of Ole Miss student Ally Kostial.
When Cindy Kostial chatted with her daughter on the phone the evening of July 19, 2019, she had no idea it would be the last time she'd hear Ally's voice. Cindy says she and her husband Keith had visited Ally in Oxford, Mississippi, earlier that week."She wanted us to stay an extra day, she was having so much fun. She wanted me to cook her home cooked meals." , who'd just finished her junior year at Ole Miss, was excited to have her parents visiting from St.
Cindy and Keith Kostial's interview is part of this week's"48 Hours" reported by"CBS Saturday Morning" co-host Michelle Miller,with multiple gunshot wounds at Sardis Lake, 45 minutes from campus. Lafayette County Sheriff's investigators got to work quickly, heading to Ally's apartment. Her cell phone was gone but they found her Apple Watch in her bedroom and discovered some of Ally's final text messages were with fellow student Brandon Theesfeld.
Investigators learned Theesfeld was planning on seeing Ally the night she died. That provided a strong early lead. According to investigator Jarrett Bundren, when they dug further into Ally's texts, they found she had shared with Theesfeld some life-changing news."She said that she thought she was pregnant," said Bundren.
Theesfeld's immediate response was that they would not keep the baby. Ally spent the next three months texting Theesfeld, asking to meet to discuss the situation in person. On the night before she died, Theesfeld finally agreed to see her.Ally's Apple Watch helped investigators track down Theesfeld just hours after she'd been found dead. They asked him to come to the Lafayette County Sheriff's Department to answer some questions.
