ELKO – Testimony continued Wednesday in the Bryce Dickey trial in Elko District Court, revealing a missing cellphone and alleged acts of violence in the defendant’s past.
A phone belonging to Gabrielle “Britney” Ujlaky that was turned over to the Northern Nevada Cyber Center at the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office days after it was found smashed into the ground has disappeared, according to law enforcement.
An investigator testified the cellphone was swabbed for DNA and then sent to the Cyber Center to download data in a forensic investigation.

When asked by Elko County District Attorney Tyler Ingram if Dickey asked permission or if she gave permission for him to put his hand on her throat, the witness said, “no,” adding he would remove it immediately after she asked him to do so.
