Garmin Link To Cyclist Activities
Quote | Reply
Hello All,

Everybody needs a side job while training and racing.

I wonder if Mark posts on ST?

https://www.bicycling.com/...llows-hitman-murder/

Excerpts:



A British cyclist, runner, and mob hitman has been convicted of the murders of two rival gangsters, in part because of his GPS watch.

Mark “Iceman” Fellows, 39, was found guilty by a jury at Liverpool Crown Court of killing organized crime leader Paul “Mr. Big” Massey and his associate John Kinsella, 55 and 53 at the time of their deaths. Massey and Kinsella were also career criminals, part of a gang scene near Manchester, U.K., with a reputation known across Europe, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Though police already suspected Fellows in Kinsella’s death, it was his Garmin Forerunner that linked him to Massey’s unsolved 2015 murder. While detectives were investigating Fellows, they came across a photo of the suspect wearing his fitness tracker during 2015’s Great Manchester 10K run, two months before the murder of Massey that July. Detectives then located the device at Fellows’s home and checked its GPS data for files that could link him to Massey.

They found that he plotted these murders with the attention and precision of any serious athlete. Accordingly, Fellows recorded his recon missions on his Garmin, stalking his first murder victim from atop his bike. (Bicycling has not been able to link Fellows to a public Strava or Garmin account.)

47:17 for 10K. I would not be able to outrun him. Wonder how fast he is on the bike.

So are we always tracked by garmin or only when GPS is on? If i understood correctly his mistake was plotting his criminal plans on his Garmin.

Are there garmin breadcrumbs of our paths? Or connection to satellites every once in a while? (With gps off)

Hello Chan and All,

You can always wrap your device in aluminum foil .... Faraday Cage

Going to be lots of facial recognition though .... disguise? .... or mask that looks like human you want to frame ...

Going to be more and more difficult to be anonymous ....

Surely we all know phones do it. Wasn't sure if Garmin's did as well.

No, he ran and cycled around where the two competing gang members were in order to plan how to kill them. They were saved as activities in his watch and connect accounts.

Now that is brilliant.
I just totally stole that line for a Facebook post on the same topic.

Moron.

That’s like a Darwin award in crime.

C’mon. Wear a hoodie, no devices, ditch the bike or constantly swap and sell them.

Amateur hour.
