Digital camera left at scene of crime

Most people take pictures to mark a memorable occasion: graduations, holiday parties, special events … but a burglary? Travis County detectives have found some unusual evidence at a crime scene that they want the public to see.

What looks like scenes from a typical high school or college party, investigators say is actually photos from a crime scene.

But what the group left behind at the party left quite an impression.

“During the investigation, we found a digital camera that didn’t belong to the victim,” said Roger Wade, with the Travis County Sheriff’s Office.

On that camera, investigators found a clear picture of their suspects. Now, they need help in identifying who they are.

Travis County investigators say this ranks pretty high on their list of dumb criminals, nearly on par with leaving a wallet or driver’s license on the scene.

If you can identify any of the people in the pictures, call Crimestoppers at 472-TIPS. You can receive a reward of up to $1,000.
