What Surveillance Footage Showed... #truecrimeshorts #truecrimestories #crimejunkies #podcast | Forensic Files

And when Kelly was there, she was looking for places with cameras and she found multiple, but most of them gave
some kind of excuse for why they couldn't help. They were either like, "Oh, we don't like have tape or whatever
or tape erases after 24 hours or if you want our tape, you got to bring the police back with you." But thankfully,
there was one business that still had footage and they were willing to let Kelly see it. And this camera is pointed
in the direction of one of the two gates that allows people on and off this property. And just to like orient you,
so like imagine you're overhead looking down on a rectangular building running vertically.
At the bottom, you have like the main road and to the right and left of this building, you can enter what's basically
like a parking lot that runs like a U around the building. And the loading dock where Spencer is eventually found
is like in the very back. So from the vantage point overhead, the camera is pointing at the entrance on the left.
Now Kelly spends hours going through the footage which seems to only capture when
it's motion activated, but she's hoping to see some sign of Spencer going behind
the business between July 28th and August 1st. And while she doesn't get any confirmed footage of him on this
camera, there is something that catches her eye. The timestamp on the footage said that
it was just after 10:00 p.m. on July 29th when a car pulls up to the entrance. The security gate is already
open, so this car can drive right through. But as it does, it turns off its lights. Now the quality isn't great
and what we've got is a video that Kelly took of the original footage on her phone, but you can see that the car
pulls in, goes off screen and then it's out of sight for less than 15 minutes. Then it
comes back and just leaves the way it came in.

After Spencer Irwin’s death, his mother searched nearby businesses for surveillance footage.

Most couldn’t help or said their footage was gone. But one camera captured something.

Just after 10 p.m., a car enters the property, turns off its lights, stays briefly, then leaves. It’s one of the only pieces of video evidence connected to that night.
