Bizarre
[FONT="]Bates (suspect)had several other smart home devices, including a water meter. That piece of tech shows that 140 gallons of water were used between 1AM and 3AM the night Collins was found dead in Bates' hot tub. Investigators allege the water was used to wash away evidence of what happened off of the patio[/FONT]
[FONT="] Echo only captures audio and streams it to the cloud when the device hears the wake word "Alexa." A ring on the top of the device turns blue to give a visual indication that audio is being recorded. Those clips, or "utterances" as the company calls them, are stored in the cloud until a customer deletes them either individually or all at once. When that's done, the "utterances" are permanently deleted. What's more, the microphones on an Echo device can be manually turned off at any time.

[FONT="]Authorities in Arkansas have demanded private information from Amazon, hoping one of its popular home assistant devices holds clues to a murder that occurred inside a private home.[/FONT]
