Tupac Shakur: Police seize hard drives and laptops at house 

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66263481  

Seizing Floppy disks, a 512mb ATA HDD with Win95 installed, etc might produce useable evidence... But... 

What useable info might be on anything more current than what I snarkily describe?

Tupac investigation?  Srsly?

As the article says,

“items that "tend to show evidence of motive and/or identity of the perpetrator such as photographs and undeveloped film, insurance policies, and letters, address and telephone records, diaries, and other documents, whether such items are written, typed or stored on computer discs".”

Here in Oregon we had a 1970s murder solved the other day. It’s not that odd for them to investigate such an old case.

True.  My thinking is someone talked "trash" and that word got around.

Still - kinda odd for someone to be gleaning evidence from a computer from something that happened back then.

Will be interesting to see if anything was gleaned from those items.

I want to believe that they haven't seized every data storage 30 years ago, when the topic was hot...

They didn’t know this suspect existed at that time.

Some time ago, while doing my own research for a college project, I delved into various aspects of Tupac's biography. It was a complex mystery that required a comprehensive understanding of the era, the music industry, and the circumstances of his death. Therefore, a resource like https://edubirdie.com/annotated-bibliography-writing-service was invaluable in helping me gather and organize the vast amount of information available. It will be interesting to see what new information this data will provide, and who knows, maybe Hollywood will treat us to a new movie.
