A deputy superintendent of police (DSP) from the Communication Forensics and Cybercrime Division told the court Tuesday that a phone number attributed to constable Noel Maitland made numerous calls to his girlfriend, Donna-Lee Donaldson, many days after she went missing.

Maitland is being tried in the Home Circuit Court in Kingston for murder and preventing the lawful burial of a corpse in relation to the July 12, 2022 disappearance of Donaldson.

Donaldson, who was 24 and a social media influencer and entrepreneur, was last seen at the Chelsea Manor apartment complex in St Andrew where Maitland lived.

On Tuesday, the DSP, who had been on the witness stand in the trial since last week, continued to illustrate for the seven-member jury a web of phone calls made and received by the constable around the time and days after Donaldson went missing. Maitland also made calls to and received numerous calls from his babymother and communicated with Donaldson’s mother, Sophia Lugg, and a truck driver.

The DSP told the court that the number attributed to Maitland attempted to call Donaldson’s cellphone at least four times. The detective said each call lasted only a few seconds and that there was no cell tower information for Donaldson. He explained that that could have been caused because her phone was off or did not pick up on a network cell tower.

On Monday, prosecutors had the DSP show the web of calls and attempted calls made from phone numbers attributed to Maitland, his babymother, a delivery truck driver, and others.

The DSP projected a spreadsheet of call information as he explained certain details during his testimony. The period he requested subscriber information for was between July 1 and July 27, 2022.

He said that for the purposes of the case he requested and received Digicel and Flow call data records for eight cellphone numbers.

Only about three of the eight numbers returned subscriber information. Where there was no subscriber information for the contact numbers, attributions were made.

There was subscriber information for one of the numbers, which the DSP said belonged to Maitland. There was subscriber information also for a K Smith.

One of the numbers was attributed to Donna-Lee Donaldson and another to the truck driver who picked up a settee from Maitland’s apartment and brought it to a car wash on Lyndhurst Road in St Andrew. There was one phone number that the DSP attributed to both Maitland and Smith as they both were believed to be using that number.

The trial continues today.
