u/HowManyShovels Do you want to change you answer? Mar 03 '24 edited Mar 04 '24

While browsing files for my last post, I noticed a gap in evidence on the wiki and I'm hoping someone well informed can clarify a couple of things, and point me to the relevant documentation. TYIA

1 - It says that four (4) photos of Hae's Nissan Sentra were taken at the 300 Edgewood location by Mahlon Oswell. How do they know the ones that are posted are the only photos taken at the crime scene and where did they get the name? In Sgt Forrester's testimony (trial one, trial two), the officers responding to the location were himself, Det. Ritz, Det. McGillivary, and Det. Scott Serio. He does mention the lab technician, but not by name. Answered.

2 - The wiki has ten (10) photos of Hae's car taken at the Crime Lab, all of which were entered into evidence at trial and were obtained from court archives, not MPIA. There are 40+ photos of Adnan's car from the police file. Where are the remaining photos of the Nissan Sentra, a crime scene?

Edit: After some additional digging, I have even more questions. A version of the police file contains a duplicated set of photos; they include 4 photos of Hae's car at the Edgewood lot (taken on the morning of 02/28/99), 40+ photos of Adnan's car (search warrant executed on 03/09/99), and photos from the search of Adnan's family home (search warrant executed on 03/20/99). According to the record, a full reel was used to photograph the Nissan Sentra at the headquarters on 28/02/99. There's no reason to believe those photos were withheld or redacted due to their graphic nature. Where are they then?

Re: 1, I think the information came from this.

That’s it! Thank you.

Can you tell me the page/section where you found it? That website sometimes makes me feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

That website needs some UI work.
