| 2022-12-14 |
| [CBSNews] Evidence, including DNA and items collected from crime scenes, dating back up to 30 years may have been destroyed in a 3-alarm fire that overtook a New York City Police Department storage facility in Brooklyn. Eight people suffered minor injuries, fire officials said. The blaze erupted around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Erie Basin Auto Pound, a facility in Brooklyn's Red Hook neighborhood where the NYPD stores evidence, FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens said in a press conference. According to NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey, the building was a police department pound that stored "a lot of biological evidence" as well as e-bikes and cars. "DNA, things from past crimes, burglaries, shooting incidents, we have some biological evidence here as well," Maddrey said at the press conference. "It's mainly evidence, but we store other things there as well." Officials said that rape evidence kits were not stored at the facility. "The evidence goes back a long time, 20-30 years. Some of the evidence was also property from (Hurricane) Sandy as well," Maddrey added. Police said they won't know the extent of the damage until the fire is put out, a task the fire department said could take several days. But Hodgens said that he would "estimate that most of the contents are damaged by fire." The investigation into the cause of the blaze is ongoing. Hodgens said that eight people, including three members of the FDNY, three EMS personnel, and two civilians, suffered minor injuries as a result of the fire. |

| #8 Love how they snuck the tidbit in about 'as well as e-bikes and cars' - that's where the blame will go, at least at first. |

| #3 So how soon before the digital log book gets leaked or published? Then a match up of who was there looking at what case evidence, in the days before the fire.

You can go on about your business. Mike |

| #2 Given it was evidence which requires it to be tracked and accounted for by court established Chain of Custody handling proceedures. This means there are multiple digital records of WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, and how often evidence seen or handled. So how soon before the digital log book gets leaked or published? Then a match up of who was there looking at what case evidence, in the days before the fire. |
