I was instructed by Case Agent Det . Joseph Recarey, to secure all computer and media related material from the residence. Upon my arrival I was directed by Det. Recarey to a room des i gnated as the Kitchen Staff Office . I observed a , Silver in color, CPU ith the left side cover removed, exposing t q e CPU s hardware sitting on floor next to a glass type desk. The CPU had no discernable identifiers or features indicating a make or model. This CPU was powered off with the power cord not plugged in . Th keyboard and mouse were atop the CPU It should be noted that the CPU was not connected to a onitor, printer, or other media device . On the back Panel of the CPU , I observed an A/V card with RCA jacks attached. This type of hardware would allow audio and video to be downloaded onto the CPU s hard disk . The ends of the RCA jacks were unattached at the time of the search and no external camera was located within this room. The located on the right side of a desk that held a flat panel LCD screen . The desk also held another keyboard and mouse, indicative of a second computer; however, no other computer was found. It appeared as though a second computer had been recently removed as the cables ends from the monitor, keyboard and mouse were in the same area. A further search of the room revealed no media storage devices, i.e . CDs, Floppy Disks, Zip Disks, etc . This type of media is commonly stored in an area where computers are placed, yet no media was found . After completing a search of this room, I secured the CPU and turned all items over to the Evidence Custodian for future forensic analysis via a property receipt. I was then directed by Det . Recarey to a room designated as the Garden Room, where I observed a wooden desk facing west. The desk held a flat screen LCD monitor , keyboard, mouse, media card reader and printer; however, no CRU was located. All of the cables were removed from an area where a computer had once been . A search of the desk area revealed no signs of any media devices . Det . Recarey directed me to a third location designated as the Cabana room, which is detached from the residence and located just south of the pool. In the South East corner of the room, I observed an office type setting, with an L-shaped desk holding a flat screen LCD monitor, keyboard, mouse and printer; however, no CPU was located, All of the cables were removed from an area where a computer had once been . A search of the desk area revealed no signs of any media devices .
