Professional Call Detail Record Forensics & Cell Site Location Analysis for Criminal Defense, Appeals, Civil Litigation, and Insurance Investigations
Call Detail Record (CDR) analysis and cell tower mapping are advanced forensic investigative techniques used to uncover critical evidence in criminal defense cases, civil litigation, and insurance fraud investigations. These powerful methods analyze telecommunications data to establish communication patterns, approximate device locations, and reconstruct timelines with forensic precision.
CDR analysis involves the comprehensive examination of historical telecommunications data maintained by cellular carriers. Every call, text message, and data connection generates a detailed record containing:
Cell tower mapping, also known as historical cell site analysis, uses the tower connection data from CDRs to determine the approximate geographic location of a mobile device at specific times. By analyzing which cell towers a phone connected to—and the signal sector direction—forensic experts can establish location evidence that places an individual at or away from a specific area during critical timeframes.
Our forensic experts create detailed cell tower sector maps that visualize coverage areas using directional cones. Each cell tower typically has three sectors (120° each), and by mapping which sector a phone connected to, we can narrow down the probable location area.
In criminal defense and appellate proceedings, CDR forensic analysis and cell tower location evidence can be decisive in establishing reasonable doubt, proving alibis, or challenging prosecution evidence.
If a defendant is accused of committing a crime at a specific time and location, CDR analysis can demonstrate that their mobile device was connected to cell towers in a completely different geographic area—potentially miles from the alleged crime scene.
This cell site alibi evidence can be instrumental in undermining the prosecution's timeline and establishing innocence.
For defendants seeking to overturn wrongful convictions, CDR evidence in appeals can be crucial. Previously unanalyzed cell phone records may contain exculpatory evidence.
Our experts review original trial evidence for methodology flaws and provide expert testimony for appellate proceedings.
Our forensic experts specialize in reviewing and challenging the accuracy of cell phone location evidence presented by prosecutors. We analyze accuracy of cell tower coverage mapping, methodology flaws in reports, signal propagation factors, and proper interpretation of azimuth and sector data.
Alibi location verification through cell tower analysis provides objective, technology-based evidence of where you were. Cell tower records provide timestamped, carrier-verified proof of your phone's location during critical timeframes.
Our certified CDR and cell tower forensic experts provide professional courtroom testimony, clearly explaining complex telecommunications evidence to judges and juries in understandable terms.
Insurance companies, attorneys, and investigators increasingly rely on CDR forensic analysis to verify claims, establish liability, and detect fraud.

A Call Detail Record (CDR) is a data record produced by telephone carriers that documents the details of a telephone call or other telecommunications transaction. CDRs contain information including call times, duration, phone numbers involved, and cell tower connection data.
Cell tower location evidence provides approximate location within the coverage area of a cell tower sector, typically ranging from several hundred meters in urban areas to several miles in rural areas. While not as precise as GPS, it provides reliable evidence of general location during specific time periods.
Yes, properly analyzed CDR evidence and cell tower mapping is admissible in criminal and civil courts when performed by qualified forensic experts following established methodologies such as those outlined by SWGDE (Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence).
