Chapter 15 - The laptop disappeared anyway

Before police obtained access to Dustin’s locker, the silver laptop was gone.
Dustin said:
“I never had it.”
Brent said:
“I don’t inventory fighters’ lockers.”
Security cameras showed a problem.
A gym employee named Travis Bell entered the locker area twenty minutes after I left.
Exited carrying a black backpack.
Was the laptop inside?
Unknown.
Police questioned him.
He admitted:
Dustin texted him:
Grab my locker bag before cops come.
Travis complied.
He claimed he did not know why.
He later surrendered the backpack.
Inside:
Hannah’s laptop.
Intact.
That text added evidence-tampering exposure for Dustin.

Travis cooperated and was not charged after prosecutors concluded he lacked knowledge of the underlying crimes.
Another distinction.
