So, ChuckMaureen................the allegedly "purged data" could very well be on a tape?
I'm finding it very hard to believe that a "section" of data was lifted out and purged and lost! Do you think LE is just playing games with the potential perp(s)? I would think they would want them to think they had all the phone data! How did the interviewer for GoLakeChelan have this information? I find it extremely odd that this information came out on this interview. It's like it was a "plant". Maybe LE wants the perp(s) to think they are safe? From everything our resident experts are saying, there is no way anybody from Verizon wireless would just go in and pluck out data and purge it like this. Am I correct? This is very troubling.

The GoLakeChelan interviewer has many years of experience in radio (pretty clear fact, I think), as some may know. Before interviewing a public official about an important unsolved case, the interviewer would want to have his ducks in a row (supposition), as would the sheriff (supposition). Its kind of hard to imagine the sheriff wanting to fly by the seat of his pants willy-nilly while speaking about such a high-profile topic. I would guess/speculate that the two of them spent some time prior to the interview getting a list, maybe a precise list, of questions set up.
Aside from the missing phone records scoop, there is another detail that came out in the GoLakeChelan interview that I dont recall hearing elsewhere: after lab work was mentioned, the interviewer stated, In some instances deputies and/or folks from the WPD, whove been the lead, at least from a public relations standpoint on this, have been actually taking things, physically delivering things, trying to pick things up, to speed the process up, and the sheriff concurred, We have sent evidence over the same day that we receive it and then go and pick it up when its completed, because then that obviously speeds up the return for us .
What I pictured when I heard this, and I could be way off, was officers in official vehicles hand-carrying items to the State Crime Lab in Spokane, for instance, and then personally picking up lab results and ferrying them back. Getting this detail out to the community would have its advantages on several levels.
There are a couple of ways that come to mind, just off the top of my head, that the interviewer could have come by the inside info that he appeared to have. One, he could have picked it up, as was mentioned before, through a professional media grapevine or community gossip-type scenario---then either springing what hed heard on the sheriff or bringing it up by prior agreement---or two, the sheriff could have mentioned those points in an earlier off-air conversation between the interviewer and himself, or three, the sheriff could have basically said, Ask me this/ask me that.
