Girlfriend uses AirTag to stalk and murder boyfriend at pub

Fears about the potential dangers of Airtags have been realised

A 26-year-old woman in the US has been charged with murder after she allegedly tracked down her boyfriend using an Apple AirTag and proceeded to run him over multiple times after seeing him have dinner with another woman.

Gaylyn Morris discovered her partner Andre Smith, also 26, at ‘Tilly’s Pub’ in Indianapolis with the help of the location device in the early hours of June 3, according to court documents.

She went inside and proceeded to get into an altercation with her partner and his female companion, and all three were asked to leave. Morris then waited for Smith to exit and ran him down multiple times in her car to the horror of witnesses.

When initially questioned by police, Morris denied that she had used an AirTag to track Smith. However later on when asked if a search warrant were served, she admitted to placing the Apple wireless tracker in the backseat of Smith's vehicle near a cup holder.

A search warrant for Morris' car (a Chevy Impala) led to the recovery of an "Apple AirTag packaging box," according to police.
