Despite Snapchat’s “disappearing” messages, experts say crucial evidence may still be recoverable, though Crooks likely took steps to obscure his online trail. Investigators confirm he communicated mainly with his parents, not conspirators, as FBI Director Kash Patel testified there’s no evidence of outside involvement.
