“One of the main points I want to bring up here is the disgust I have that the FBI will not show the enhanced imagery they have, because they have it. The first thing I did when I had an image like this is, I sent it to and I sent it to the lab. And I said, “Please adjust your light settings, do whatever you do, work your magic. So I can either see a tag, or I can see a more specific outline of what I’m looking at.’ And they do it. And it’s so amazing. So amazing. And they’re not releasing that to us.”
