Search Continues At San Bernardino Lakes For Missing Hard Drives
Investigators scoured the Seccombe Lake for the third consecutive day on Saturday to find evidence related to San Bernardino shootings.
Search of the lake's bottom began after law enforcement authorities received a tipoff that shooters Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik were seen making hurried moves around the lake on December 2, the day they carried out the attack at Inland Regional Center. The Sun reports that undisclosed objects were fished out on Friday and the search continues on Saturday, likely for the missing hard drives from the couple's computers.
Meanwhile, FBI continues probing if Farook and Malik had help in carrying out the attack. LA Times reports that agencies are seeking to learn whether the meeting of the couple, both believed to have been radicalized before meeting the other, and their subsequent marriage, was arranged. It is however known that Farook's longtime friend and neighbor Enrique Marquez reportedly purchased the two assault rifles used in the attack. Marquez also admitted that Farook had planned an attack in 2012.
In other reported developments about the shooting and the killers, the body of Tashfeen Malik remains unclaimed as religious leaders do not want to step forward to claim it and perform the burial in an Islamic way, The Blaze reports. Farook's family meanwhile is likely to claim his body. Malik's family is in Saudi Arabia and said to be distraught over the death of their daughter. Sans a claim over her body, it may be handed over to the public administrator who is likely to cremate it. Cremation is strictly forbidden in Islam.
