She Said She Wasn't There — Then Detectives Checked the Wi-Fi

A suspected staged suicide began to unravel after investigators discovered that a wiped cellphone had left behind a digital clue. On August 19, 2022, 31-year-old detention deputy Cory Schweitzer was found dead inside his Pine Ridge, Florida home. At first, investigators considered suicide. But details at the scene raised questions—including the location of the firearm, ammunition evidence, Cory's injuries, and unusual messages sent from his phone before his body was discovered. The investigation eventually turned toward Cory's former girlfriend, Jacqueline Johnson-Cabrera. Detectives learned she had purchased a 9mm handgun only days before Cory's death. According to investigators, forensic testing identified that handgun as the weapon used to kill him. Then investigators examined Jacqueline's cellphone. The phone had been wiped—but the digital trail wasn't completely gone. Investigators said an application associated with Jacqueline's email account had connected to a Wi-Fi network belonging to Cory's neighbor around the time he was killed. Detectives believed the digital evidence contradicted her statement that she had not been near Cory's home. Jacqueline Johnson-Cabrera was arrested five days after Cory's death. In June 2024, she entered an Alford plea to first-degree murder and burglary, allowing her to maintain her innocence while accepting convictions based on the prosecution's evidence. She received two life sentences. In this episode of Caught By Forensics, we examine the Cory Schweitzer case, the suspected staged scene, firearm evidence, unusual text messages, wiped cellphone, and the Wi-Fi evidence investigators said helped reveal what happened. How much can someone really erase from a phone when the digital trail extends beyond the device itself?
