Overview

• Investigators including the FBI, Bureau of Prisons and DOJ inspector general reportedly hold a version of the surveillance video that retains the minute from 11:59 p.m. to midnight
• The publicly released footage jumps directly from 11:58:58 p.m. to 12:00:00 a.m., a gap officials say stems from a nightly reset in the prison’s outdated video system
• Forensic analysts found metadata indicating the release was a screen capture stitched from separate clips and slightly sped up, condensing nearly 11 hours into 10 hours and 53 minutes
• Surveillance experts characterize a repeated one-minute lapse from nightly resets as highly unusual in modern systems, casting doubt on official explanations
• Lawmakers and experts are demanding the full unedited recording and comparative footage to determine whether the missing timestamp reflects routine resets or selective editing
