Records show call to Greg Fertuck's phone near gravel pit where estranged wife disappeared, court hears
CBC
A trail of electronic footprints left by Greg Fertuck's cellphone on the day his estranged wife disappeared leads to a tower within eyesight of the gravel pit where her truck and personal belongs were found, an expert testified at Fertuck's first-degree murder trial on Thursday.
The footprints, in the form of call records presented at the trial in a Saskatoon courtroom, show an incoming call to his phone number at 1:20 p.m. on Dec. 7, 2015 — the day Sheree Fertuck, Greg's wife, was last seen.
This call activated the Farrerdale tower, which rises over the gently rolling hills near the gravel pit east of Kenaston, Sask., according to a report on the records prepared by former Telus Mobility investigator Bruce Funk.
"The call lasts one minute and 20 seconds," he testified in Court of Queen's Bench Thursday.
Though Sheree Fertuck's body has never been found, her semi-truck was found at the gravel pit near Kenaston on Dec. 8, 2015 — the day after she was last seen.
The prosecution alleges that Greg shot Sheree twice during a confrontation at the pit, where she worked, and then moved her body to another location.
Greg Fertuck has pleaded not guilty to the charge of first-degree murder.
