A new documentary titled *The Fitbit Killer*, released on Prime Video, revisits the 2015 murder case involving Richard Dabate, a Connecticut computer network administrator. Dabate killed his wife, Connie, and initially claimed that a violent intruder had been responsible for her death. However, investigators challenged his account by examining data from Connie’s Fitbit, an activity tracking device she wore that recorded her movements on the morning of the murder.

The documentary explores how the digital evidence provided by the Fitbit played a critical role in contradicting Dabate’s version of events. Rather than supporting the claim of a home invasion, the activity data indicated a timeline and pattern inconsistent with an external assailant’s presence, ultimately implicating Dabate in the crime.

Richard Dabate was charged with his wife’s murder following the investigation, and the case attracted significant media attention for its reliance on wearable technology as forensic evidence. The portrayal in the documentary highlights both the procedural aspects of the criminal investigation and the underlying domestic tensions that led to the tragedy.

While the title *The Fitbit Killer* may suggest a more sensationalist premise, the film instead focuses on the factual recounting of how technology and law enforcement intersected in uncovering the truth behind Connie Dabate’s death. The documentary underscores both the advancements in investigative techniques and the somber reality of domestic violence that can underlie such cases.
