Alligator Alley
The Alligator Alley toll plaza on I-75 in Collier County lay along the route traveled by the suspects between South Florida and Tallahassee. SunPass records captured at this location allowed investigators to filter a large pool of similarly colored vehicles to a single match corresponding to the car seen at the crime scene. The toll data was introduced through direct examination of investigators Patrick Sanford and Craig Isom across all three trials.
About
Toll records from this plaza served as a forensic anchor in the travel-route evidence, isolating the suspect vehicle through SunPass data at a key chokepoint on the South Florida corridor. The location appeared in direct testimony across all three trials — Magbanua retrial, Charlie Adelson, and Donna Adelson — marking it as a recurring evidentiary reference in the state's account of the suspects' movements.
