How the FBI might have gotten inaccessible camera footage from Nancy Guthrie’s house

The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of a popular “Today” television program host, is capturing national attention as the FBI continues an investigation. Law enforcement officials note that a doorbell camera had been removed from Guthrie’s home and later the director of the FBI reported the video from the camera was recovered but did provide any other details. The situation is sparking questions about privacy rights and other legal technicality issues regarding release of any data on the camera footage. Jaron Mink, a professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, comments on various factors that could make it difficult to recover or access the camera data.
