My understanding, from what I read in the newspaper, is the police (LAPD?) have the videos, the computers on which they were saved, the backups, the camera, and the memory cards. I would expect them to share the videos with the Los Angeles County District Attorney, the crime lab, and in due course, with the defense. They will make head shots from the images still unidentified, and will probably show them to the people they know who interviewed, in hopes they will recognize friends, after they try to match the images with the job apps. Women who interviewed are already coming to the police.
If the perp hasn't already shown those pictures, I wouldn't expect them to circulate now. Certainly not until after the trial is over, all the appeals are finished, and the civil suits are put to bed.
If I had those images, and had a site where they'd be appropraite, there is no way in hell I'd post them before the trial. The risk of becoming a defendant or a conspirator is just too great.
Better you should hope to see some of the fifty thousand other images which the photographer who did Dr. Laura is alleged to have taken. She is such a virtuous woman.
This is going to be such a high profile case that it might even end up on cable; perhaps on Court TV, or if not there, then surely on the Food Channel.
When the criminal case is finished, expect Hooters to be the defendant in one hell of a big lawsuit. Probably a class action lawsuit, with several classes: 1) the women in the images, 2) the women not in the images who interviewed at that trailer, 3) the women who thought about interviewing, 4) other Hooters employees everywhere, and 5) women who interviewed at other Hooters. Other defendants will surely include the Hooters employee who did the interviewing, and perhaps other Hooters employees, and about a thousand John Does and Jane Does. They may not have a good enough case, but there sure as hell is an attorney who is willing to get his or her name in the papers and on the boob tube.
