COVENTRY, R.I. (WPRI) — Google searches uncovered on a cell phone took center stage Friday as the joint trial for the men accused of killing a pregnant woman and dumping her body in an icy Coventry pond continued into its third day. Rhode Island State Police Detective James Hudson testified that a cell phone confiscated from Gary Gromkiewicz revealed that he made several Google searches just days after 34-year-old Leila Duarte Da Luz's body was found floating in Carbuncle Pond. Hudson explained that the cell phone, which did not actually belong to Gromkiewicz, had parental controls on it that made it impossible for detectives to extract its data. Instead, Hudson had to manually search the cell phone and photograph anything of note that he uncovered. "I came across several Google searches that appeared relevant to the investigation," Hudson explained. Those Google searches, Hudson explained, included "Can police trace where I've been if my phone is turned off?," "Can my phone be tracked with location services turned off?" and "Is it easy for police to tap a cell phone?" A photograph of Google search history found on a phone confiscated from Gary Gromkiewicz. In addition to the Google searches, Hudson said he also noted several incoming and outgoing calls to the other suspect, Michael Lambert, in the days following the discovery of Da Luz's body. Gromkiewicz's attorney argued that, since the phone was registered to another person, detectives couldn't prove whether he had actually made those searches. "You didn't see my client type in those searches, correct?" attorney Melissa Larson asked Hudson. "Those searches, I did not see him type in, no," Hudson replied. Detectives positively identified Da Luz's body nearly a week after she was found floating underneath a dock by an angler, thanks to a missing persons report filed out of Brockton. Investigators believe she was pregnant with Gromkiewicz's child at the time of her death. It is believed that Gromkiewicz and Lambert picked Da Luz up in Brockton, seriously injured her, then left her for dead in Carbuncle pond. An investigation revealed that Da Luz was alive when she entered the water, but had suffered blunt force trauma and ultimately drowned. An audio message of detectives questioning Gromkiewicz was also played aloud in court, in which he claimed Lambert murdered Da Luz. "I didn't commit the murder," Gromkiewicz said. "I just want to tell you what really happened." Gromkiewicz told the detectives that he promised Da Luz he would be there for their unborn baby, but he was in love with another woman. "I wanted the baby to have both parents in the household," he explained, adding that the two later agreed getting married for the sake of the child wouldn't be a good idea.

"He invited Leila out with us," he continued. "Leila was not supposed to come with us. I couldn't bring one woman to another woman's house." Gromkiewicz claimed that Lambert then offered to drive Da Luz home. He then told detectives he got out of the car in Warwick and jogged down a walking path to get back to his girlfriend's house in Cumberland. "I don't know where he brought her, but it wasn't home," Gromkiewicz said, adding that Lambert didn't confess to him that he'd killed Da Luz until days later. Hudson later testified that he analyzed the state's walking paths and could not find a route from Warwick to Cumberland that fit the description Gronkiewicz mentioned during questioning. Jurors also heard from a friend of Gromkiewicz, who claimed that she spoke with him via phone and in person at the ACI roughly a month after he was charged with Da Luz's murder. That friend testified that, while visiting Gromkiewicz, he asked her for an unusual favor. "He asked for me to be a witness for him on Dec. 21, 2022," April Bateman explained. "He offered me money and to get me out of the situation I was in." But Bateman said she didn't meet Gromkiewicz until at least February 2023. "It sounded like a good deal but that I had to think about it," Bateman testified, referring to Gromkiewicz's proposition. Though she admitted she was tempted, Bateman said eventually declined Gromkiewicz's offer. "I did not want to incriminate myself," she said. Larson questioned Bateman's judgment at the time, since she admitted she was high on marijuana while speaking with Gromkiewicz via phone. The joint trial is expected to resume on Monday, with ACI phone calls between Gromkiewicz and one of those witnesses on deck to be examined. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox.
