The man accused of killing an Egg Harbor Township woman in 2014 used GPS directions to get home from the place where he dumped her body, according to an affidavit obtained by BreakingAC.
Data from Timothy Wright’s cell phone revealed turn-by-turn navigation from the Hamilton Township roadside where Joyce Vanderhoff’s body was found to Wright’s Mays Landing home, according to the affidavit.
The trip was made the night before police received the 9:51 a.m. call Feb. 14, 2014, saying a body had been found on the side of County Road 559-Weymouth Road.
An autopsy determined she had been strangled.
Wright, now 39, was among those interviewed after the discovery, the affidavit states.
That investigation determined Vanderhoff’s last known whereabouts were at Wright’s home.
He allegedly used navigation to get back to that residence.
It does not say where that residence was. Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon Tyner has said only that Wright lived in Mays Landing at the time of the killing.
Vanderhoff’s former boyfriend, Matt Flamensfeld, previously said he dropped her off at a friend’s home in May Landing’s Hamilton Greene apartments at about 3 a.m. Feb. 13, 2014. He did not know the friend and wasn’t sure of his name.
The affidavit does not indicate when the cell phone information was obtained. A murder warrant was issued for Wright on Friday.
That same day, he was arrested in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, with the help of local police there, according to the report.
He is in the Franklin County Jail.
