In the import before “ Barefoot Bandit ” Colton Harris - Moore — the 19 year old accused ofdozens of burglary , car , boat and plane thieving — was apprehended , he thresh a MacBook and an iPod into the sea .
Now FBI sleuths are racing against time to retrieve data from the gimmick that could further damn this elusive burglar .
In addition to further charges against Harris - Moore , these devices could also provide Seattle U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan with the names of anyone who aid Harris - Moore on his external offence spree ( which included the fantastical larceny and flight of steps of an plane in Idaho ) .
Trouble is , no one seems to know if the FBI get the devices in time . Data recovery is totally possible ( even in salt water supply and even if Harris - Moore deleted the data beforehand ) , butthe Seattle Times reportsa numeral of unknowns could hamper additional charge :
– Did Harris - Moore result digital trace of websites , tocopherol - mail addresses and telephone set calls he made or received ?
– Did the Bahamian cops use right procedure to inhibit erosion in the laptop computer after retrieving it from brine , such as observe it besotted until experts could begin information recovery ?
– Did anyone plug in the call back laptop or iPod touch sensation and wrick it on , which could have fry circuits or damage the gruelling drive ?
If the Bahamians kept the machine in water , it could have slowed corroding . If not , the FBI ’s job got a act tough — although something tell me this kid ’s well - documented fling has provided enough evidence already . [ Seattle Times – Thanks , Erik ]
