One of the victims utilized the play sound feature within the notification and began hearing a beeping like noise that grew louder as she approached the rear passenger side of her vehicle. The victim crawled under her vehicle where she found a magnetic device wrapped in black duct tape containing an AirTag on the underside of her wheel well. The Key West Police Department Criminal Investigations Unit worked with local agents from the Department of Homeland Security to identify the subscriber information associated with each device. These efforts lead to the identification of 52-year-old Marius Switicki of Key West. On January 3rd, 2025, detectives arrived at Switicki's home where they found him with his family and immediately took him into custody and began questioning. >> So, I went to Body Gym this morning to the gym I always go.

I go to the tax collector, and then I go I go park for work at Olympia Fitness Center parking lot in Summerville.
