Someone Tried to Cover Their Tracks... #maryyoder #truecrimestories #truecrimeshorts | Forensic Files

But, just staying with the office computer for 1 sec, in November 2015, so this is around the
time that the anonymous letters were sent, someone installed software on it to mask IP addresses. Well, way to hide
like what sites had been visited. But, it didn't work. The clinic's antivirus program logged the activity anyway. And
what it recorded was that someone on that computer during business hours was downloading the masking software first,
then using a private browser to log into that same Gmail account. So, whoever did
this took steps to cover their tracks before they ever pulled it up. >> Was trying to hide it in the first
place. And listen, there's also a typewriter at the office, and the ink ribbon still had faint impressions of
what had been typed, which matched the anonymous letter sent to the ME and the sheriff's office. Then, on Katie's
phone, investigators found a deleted note with lines that read, "1990 @ lowercase g
and capital A is gay." They figured that this was shorthand for the email address
that's at the center of this whole thing, Mr. Adam Yoder 1990@gmail.com. And maybe it's password, which turned
out to be "Adam is gay." Now, that same email and password were also used to set
up a document scanning app on Katie's phone, too. The app had been deleted by the time they got to it, but the cloud
storage was still accessible. And in it were scanned copies of every document sent [music] to the supplier, the order
forms, the letter of intent, all of it. There was also a letter of recommendation that Mary had written for
Katie with Mary's signature on it. Implication being that that could have been used to forge the other documents.

Investigators uncovered evidence on the chiropractic office computer in the Mary Yoder case.
