Gaffney had also offered his own evidence for this claim. His lawyer sent along screenshots from Gaffney’s iPhone, showing his photo library from January 18 through February 7, 2026. The photos at issue were not in it. Nor were they in the “Recently deleted” folder. But investigators later said that their detailed forensic search was in fact able to turn the photos up on Gaffney’s phone.
