What was said

"They claim they recovered a computer Powell used that was forensically wiped. The kind of wipe that takes specialized software. They claim that recovery tools turned up searches of his real name, and he was searching for Colorado cold case murder files."

A documentary crew investigating the Benjamin Kyle case claimed to have recovered a forensically wiped computer containing searches for Colorado cold case murders under Powell's real name. The series alleges Powell worked for organized crime or a redacted intelligence organization before his 1976 disappearance. His former coworker stated he was afraid of Powell and refused to elaborate.
