You Are Investigating a Case Involving Fraud

question 43

Multiple Choice

You are investigating a case involving fraud. You seized a computer from a suspect who stated that the computer is not used by anyone other than himself. The computer has Windows 98 installed on the hard drive. You find the filename C : \ downloads\check01. jpg that EnCase shows as being moved. The starting extent is 0C4057. You find another filename C : \ downloads\chk1.dll with the starting extent 0C4057, which EnCase also shows as being moved. In the C : \ windows\System folder you find an allocated file named chk1.dll with the starting extent 0C4057. The chk1.dll file is a JPEG image of a counterfeit check. Could this information be used to refute the suspect claim that he never knew it was on the computer?

• A) Yes, because the chk1.dll file was moved and renamed.
• B) No, because the Windows operating system likely moved and renamed the chk1.dll file during disk maintenance.
• C) No, because the chk1.dll file has no evidentiary value.
• D) Yes, because the ch1.dll is all the evidence required to prove the case.
