ATHENS, Ga. ù Georgia nursing student Laken Riley texted and called her
mom as she headed out for a run to see whether she had time to chat ù
but then didn't respond to her mother's calls or increasingly frantic
text messages.

Riley called her mother at 9:03 a.m. on Feb. 22, and by the time her
mother called back about 20 minutes later, the student had encountered
Jose Ibarra on a wooded running trail at the University of Georgia.
Prosecutors say Ibarra killed Riley after a struggle, and data from
Riley's smartwatch shows her heart stopped beating at 9:28 a.m.

After Riley failed to answer the phone, her mother, Allyson Phillips,
texted her several times, casually at first but then with increasing
concern, according to data pulled from Riley's phone.

At 9:37 a.m., her mother texted, ôCall me when you can.ö Phillips
called twice, and when her calls went unanswered, she texted her
daughter at 9:58 a.m., ôYouÆre making me nervous not answering while
youÆre out running.ö Phillips texted again at 11:47 a.m., writing,
ôPlease call me. IÆm worried sick about you.ö She and other family
members continued to call Riley.

The phone call log and text messages came out Tuesday during Ibarra's
trial in testimony from University of Georgia police Sgt. Sophie
Raboud, who examined Riley's phone data.

Ibarra, 26, is charged with murder and other crimes in RileyÆs death in February, and his trial began Friday. He waived his right to a jury
trial, meaning the case will be decided alone by Athens-Clarke County
Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard. The case could go to the judge
by the end of Tuesday.

Under President Joe Biden's border policy, Ibarra illegally entered the
U.S. in 2022 and was allowed to stay in the country while he pursued
his immigration case.
