What This Image Shows

This page of an AFFIDAVIT FOR SEARCH WARRANT filed in Utah's Fourth District Court seeks records from a Quantum Fiber internet account operated by Lumen Technologies, associated with a Gmail address in the name trobinsonut. The document names the investigating officer as Investigator Justin Bowen of the State Bureau of Investigation, and states the offense under investigation as aggravated murder.

This is the internet-service leg of a digital evidence effort that also reached device seizures, an Apple account request, and records demands to Discord for usernames including Craftopia, Gamin and The Corruption. Together those filings show investigators building an account-linkage case: connecting a person to handles, handles to devices, and devices to a network subscription. That structure is worth understanding because it is also where the case is most contestable — account attribution is inference, and it depends on records that the public has not seen.

Read the affidavit for the scope of the request rather than for any conclusion, and note that a sworn request establishes what an investigator asserted, not what was proven. The companion affidavit pages are elsewhere in this cluster. Related analysis is at Robinson Phone and Devices, Discord Evidence in Court and Phone Extraction.
