From: To: Cc: Subject: Noel/Thomas Date: Monday, July 26, 2021 1:18:08 PM Just a couple of notes from related to the Noel/Thomas case. Make sure that we follow up on Electronics Technician statement: He said that this [cameras going down] had happened in the past and was not unusual because the camera system was extremely outdated and needed to be replaced. He said that no one had access to the camera room, which was located within the SIS office, and no one could have intentionally taken the cameras offline in order to stop themfrom recording. • When we identify who the foreman and supervisor was, we need to ensure we address not only if they sent him home knowing the cameras were not working but also verify that no one else had access to the camera room outside of — leading into no one could have intentionally taken the cameras offline. • Need to ask the supervisors how often the cameras went down (weekly, monthly, etc.) and what steps were taken to correct the problem. If they are any contractor payments for system repairs we need to obtain them. • If someone else did have access (SIA etc) then we will need to interview them as well. • Also need to ask if there is anyone with knowledge that the outdated camera system needed replacing. Did anyone inform a supervisor? Was there plans to get a new system? Did senior management know (who knew/when)? Did ask for a new system at anytime? Lastly, wants us to reach out to Mark Epstein's attorney and just let them know that we can't give any updates from our end on our investigation, but if Mark has something he would like us to know we will meet with him to obtain the information. Let me know if you have any questions or want to talk through it.
