I will let the case team and the AUSAs know the status of everything and let you know what comes out of that — but I'm pretty sure that we will end up just keeping things as is...especially since those dates have nothing to do with what the subjects in this case are being charged with.

(OTD) (FBI) (NY) (FBI) (OTD) (FBI) <a> I got looped into the discussion below and you can see the responses that floated around. You are correct in your assumption of DVR2, we have not done anything with it since the dates are outside your dates of interest and manual rebuilding of DVR2 was not going to be a simple task. To that end, the data on DVR2 might(major emphasis on might) be recoverable, but this will be a long term project, likely 6 or more months, requiring research and testing, in order to potentially obtain useable video from the DVR. There is no guarantee of success and that must be weighed with how much time and resource we want to throw at It vs what you MIGHT be able recover. If this is something you want OTD/DFAS/DFAU to move forward with, let's discuss it further via conference call and then we'll ask you to follow up with a EC request to address this specifically.

However, I'm back O We are preparing for discovery now and I have to get exact answers regarding all the video that we have available. I apologize in advance for all of these questions! • We are going to turn over all available footage for the SHU area at MCC — which is on CH0082, CH0080, and CH0062. The date range for these video channels is July 23, 2019 at 12am — August 10, 2019 at 11:59pm, right? To download all of this footage, what size hard drive will be needed (or how many should I request)? • What is the total number of cameras that are available on DVR1? • We don't have a camera list that actually correctly names the location of the cameras, correct? Lists that I have seen were wrong but I'm not sure if one exists that is correct.... • As far as DVR 2, there was a system failure that caused that DVR to stop recording. I know that there would be no available footage beyond July 29 for that DVR (right?). I also know that QT was going to have to try and rebuild it manually. Did they every recover any footage or did they discontinue efforts once we told them that dates prior to July 29," weren't of interest? I'm not sure where they left off with that part.... Again — sorry for all these questions.... I just want to make sure I tell the AUSAs correctly and not rely on my memory (or the 5,000 emails I have in my inbox regarding all of this LOL).... Thanks!

I received the following request from on date/time of interest for the cameras that we have available: I'm sending the camera views that we are interested in seeing if we have.... I'll send them separately since every time I try - I get the "too large to send" message (even tried doing the zip file) • 9," Floor Sally Port (this is the CH 62 we were inquiring about Friday) • L-Tier Hallway • Entrance into the SHU on the 9th Floor • Closer View of the Entrance into the SHU on the 9th Floor • View of Officers' Desk and Entrance into L-Tier • Another View of the Officers' Desk and Entrance into L-Tier The photos were taken from underneath the cameras — so, the angle may be a bit different. Other than having photos of these camera views, another way to identify any camera of interest will be the activity observed from 6:33am-6:50am on August 10.... The Corrections Officers discovered Epstein at approximately 6:33 am and EFTA00174566 sounded a body alarm — there were numerous people who responded — so, there should be a flurry of activity a short time after the body alarm sounded... especially on L-Tier and the in SHU. Another option — which may take some time — is to upload all the camera views for 6am-7am on 8/10 to UK and I can view them.... You can just hit me up on my cell I to get clarification.... Thanks so much! additionally sent 6 photos to help with identification. I have placed them on the network at I am currently creating an image of one of the mounted disks from the DVR 1 array. Once that is complete I understand the plan was for to export all the data available on DVR 1 for review in TTK. Based on request I'm guessing that probably exporting all cameras for the time frame of interest would be a start and then grab all the other video later. But I'll defer to the DVR experts and your procedures. M... I have added you to the network share so that you can review the photos sent.
