There still aren't any answers as to what is behind the Facebook post featuring a notebook full of flight coordinates. As we have reported, someone posted pictures of a notebook with handwritten notes, allegedly detailing routes for illegal drug plane landings, GPS coordinates among other revealing information.
Although it wasn't disclosed to the public, this notebook has been in police custody since March of this year. This is after authorities found the notebook at the site of a crashed drug plane in northern Belize. As was stated in a police press release, authorities have examined the notebook and their investigation continues. So while all that has been established, how did this someone end up with pictures of this notebook post on a facebook page? We asked Acting Commissioner of Police Chester Williams about it today.
Chester Williams, Acting Commissioner of Police
"Like you rightly said the Ministry of National Security issued a press release in respect of that matter and I associate myself with the content of that press release."
Reporter
"Sir, but the question is, is there concerns that the Ministry of National Security or the police department is unable to properly safeguard evidence, crucial evidence because this notebook had in sensitive information about flight plans and they were not protected, they were not safeguarded."
Chester Williams
"I am sure Mr. Moody that if the police went to your house and were to confiscate, maybe a notebook, the notebook belongs to you and chances are you might have copies of the content of the notebook so at this time to just out rightly say that it was from the police care of custody that the contents of the notebook is out in the public domain is really and truly premature."
"We are trying to establish who the person is but I am sure you would appreciate the fact that when it comes to the issue of social media there are several persons who hide themselves behind fake profiles and it is really and truly a challenge for us at times to identify who are behind those fake profiles."
Reporter
"So let's say you do track down this individual, he or she is a legit person, will he or she be brought in for questioning, how will you establish this connection with this individual."
Chester Williams
"Well that is one of the difficulties we will have to face legally to be able to make that nexus between the post and the person we may suspect."
At this time no one has been brought in for questioning in relation to this facebook post, police are still trying to track the person down. Williams says the notebook is in police custody.
