IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF what Titus says is correct (and I'm hardly convinced by "ZOMGGUISE SUPER SEEKRIT STUFF ONLY I KNOZE ABOUT WTF WTF"), I propose a new hypothesis: Welch took a careful shot aimed to hit the HDD enclosure but miss the platters inside it. That would render the drive evidence while leaving the data recoverable.
Yes, this is really speculative. But it does seem at least possible, provided that I'm wrong about the bullet entry hole shape (it looks elongated to me).
I still lean entirely toward Welch being a total fake put up by the bad guys, as that is the simplest explanation I can see here. But it's not the only possibility. His use of the word "intel" is a little bit intriguing, as is the word "dwelling" (instead of business or shop or building or w/e).
What did he think when he discovered there were no children at the pizzeria?
“The intel on this wasn’t 100 percent,” he said. However, he refused to dismiss outright the claims in the online articles, conceding only that there were no children “inside that dwelling.”
I have never heard CPP referred to as a "dwelling" except there.
