What This Image Shows

This page of an AFFIDAVIT FOR SEARCH WARRANT filed in Utah's Fourth District Court carries the operative detail: a numbered list of eight electronic items, each with a description, serial number and the location within a residence where it was found. The affiant is identified as an investigator with the State Bureau of Investigation.

An itemized seizure list is one of the more useful documents available to anyone trying to audit this case, because it fixes what devices existed and where. It also sharpens a contradiction researchers keep returning to: prosecutors stated in a written filing that they did not intend to offer evidence obtained through forensic extractions of the electronics seized in the case, while the publicly circulating narrative rests heavily on extracted messages, and an extraction of Lance Twiggs' phone was confirmed in open court. Both things appear in the record; reconciling them is a fair question to press.

Read the list for what was taken and from where, then pair it with the companion affidavit pages in this cluster. Related analysis is at Robinson Phone and Devices, Phone Extraction, Twiggs Phone and Discovery and Brady Disputes.
