What Are the Police Looking For?

The Bentonville police are hopeful that the information stored on the device or the servers may contain some useful information regarding the events of the night of the murder. Because the Echo is always listening, it is possible that at some point during the night of the murder, it may have recorded a snippet of audio and sent it to the server to be transcribed.

While reports explain that the Echo is unlikely to contain conclusive evidence, the possibility that it contains some evidence that could be used to support or corroborate other evidence is entirely possible. For instance, it could very well destroy an alibi or be used to rebut other evidence presented by the defense.
