Report Number 002
Summary
Kitty exploitation found on computer, investigation proceeding.
Cause for Action
Forensic tech identified several known kitty exploitation videos and images on the
recovered computer (MT-‐2009-‐12-‐015-‐EV001), and a possible owner. Based on the
data recovered from the computer, we believe that the original owner of the
computer was a local company, called M57 Patents. The user of the computer was
named Jo (no last name available).
Action Taken
Further investigation is necessary to determine if Jo was the owner of the files, and
to determine if any further incriminating evidence is available. From business
records, we have determined that the owner of the company is Pat McGoo. We are
considering contacting McGoo, rather than pursuing a warrant.
Outcome
Discussion with Chief of Detectives about contacting McGoo and pursuing a
voluntary search.

Report Number 003
Summary
Contact with Pat McGoo; authorized voluntary search.
Cause for Action
After evidence of kitty exploitation was found on the computer referenced in prior
reports, CoD determined that the best course of action would be to meet with
McGoo and pursue a voluntary search of as much information as possible. The
decision was made to pursue a warrant only if required.
Action Taken
Detectives Friday and Gannon met with McGoo at M57 Patents. We were able to
speak to him privately. McGoo indicated that the computer was probably stolen,
having been told it was non-‐functional. McGoo confirmed that Jo was an employee.
McGoo was cooperative, but wanted to speak with a lawyer before authorizing
search.
Outcome
McGoo has contacted a lawyer, and seems to intend to authorize a search. McGoo
has promised not to tell employees, and will contact us with a decision tomorrow
morning.

Report Number 004
Summary
Warrant granted for USB thumb drive owned by Jo.
Cause for Action
Forensic technologists were able to determine from the computer that a USB thumb
drive possibly owned by Jo was used to connect to the computer, and possibly used
to transfer kitty exploitation material.
Action Taken
With the assumption that the USB thumb drive is owned by Jo, we have requested
and been granted a warrant to seize the USB drive. The warrant was based upon
data found on the computer MT-‐2009-‐12-‐015-‐EV001. The warrant has been logged
as MT-‐2009-‐12-‐015-‐W001.
Outcome
If we are granted permission to search computers at M57 Patents, we will execute
the warrant and seize the thumb drive (if it is in Jo’s possession) at that time. If not,
we will make a decision about when to execute the warrant.
