Judge Orders Quito Call Records and Expands Inquiry Into Death of Mango Founder

The step seeks phone data that could confirm whether the suspect’s device connected in Ecuador and deepen a probe now treating the 2024 fall as possible homicide.

Overview

  • The investigating judge issued a May 27 order requiring telecoms to hand over Jonathan Andic’s call and message traffic for his March 21–26, 2025 Quito trip and authorized extraction of his phone data for key December 2024 periods.
  • Police, the prosecutor Teresa Yoldi, and Judge Raquel Nieto have moved from an initial accidental classification to treating the December 14, 2024 death of Isak Andic as a plausible homicide based on accumulated indicia.
  • Forensic work by the Mossos and the UCIF relies on phone forensics, iPhone Health step counts, antenna triangulation, vehicle plate readers and timing reconstructions—including a 4 minute 34 second gap before Jonathan’s first call after the fall—to rebuild movements and calls.
  • The judge has ordered probes into possible third‑party involvement, explicitly citing the family therapist identified as J. L., to check whether anyone else influenced or took part in planning the excursion or events surrounding the death.
  • The defense disputes some forensic inferences, has produced a roaming/tariff record it says shows phone activity in Quito, has filed legal challenges to precautionary measures, and Jonathan was released after posting €1 million bail while telecom and device data are sought.
