On June 8, 2026, Crime Junkie relayed private investigator Cody Turner's expectation that data from Tripp Brazeale's phone could come back as soon as June 2026. Coverage from June through October 2026 (the sheriff rehiring Deputy Trey Bynum, the release of bodycam footage, and an October 2026 recap) does not report any results from the phone. Because this was private work by an investigator and nothing has been announced, it can't be confirmed whether the data came back by June 30, 2026.
