<p>The proceeding was overseen by San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge Ronald Northup, who ordered Brownlee held without bail.</p>
<p>Prosecutors revealed in court that cellphone data placed Brownlee at or near the scene of at least three of <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/family-numb-after-stockton-serial-killing-victim-salvador-debudey-jr-is-executed-outside-a-popeyes">six murders he is suspected of carrying out</a>, and that Brownlee had a so-called ghost gun—that is, a firearm lacking a serial number—on him when he was arrested. Investigators first identified Brownlee as a suspect thanks to tips from the public, and set up surveillance to track him, according to Stockton Police Chief Stanley McFadden.</p>
