***Thanks again and I'm sure everyone appreciates your time spent and knowledge of photo data! I hope the authorities are doing all you mentioned to clear things up and result in the correct ending to this situation. As I stated in that PM to you after I got yours, I was not implying that you don't know what you're doing, but that it will take a person certified by the court as an expert on data retrieval if it comes to that to make a case one way one way or the other.
