On November 14, 2021, the victim and her mother went to the Sebastian Police Department to file a complaint. The mother said she looked at the personal cell phone of Robert Lee Donnet and discovered an app called “Yi Eye” installed on his phone.

According to the affidavit, the mother through Donnet’s phone and discovered videos of her daughter’s bedroom. She then found videos of her daughter undressing.

The app had a live streaming feature showing the bedroom as it recorded any motion. The mother identified the source of the camera to be a false smoke detector.
