It was reported that had this camera not been focused where it was, that that crime would not have been captured. It was the only camera pointed at the scene of that crime.
Snipped a bunch, but wanted to point out that this is very true - not just in Walmart.
I was assaulted at a different major discount retailer about 10 years ago. There was a camera RIGHT THERE, but it was turned the wrong way to capture any of what happened. The cams at the front of the store captured his entrance, and his exit, but the entirety of the assault - including my turning the tables on him, running after him through about 3 aisles and tackling the guy, then holding him (hoping for someone to help) - NONE of it was on any of the security cameras in that section of the store as they were all turned the wrong way. (I still wonder about that sometimes...) And, unfortunately, in some stores the cameras are there, but there is no tape in the recorder, or they may not even be turned on and actively recording anything...
ETA: I see where someone had posted that there was a picture of Dylan in the store. Where in the store was the picture? Going in? Going out? Or while he was in the checkout, perhaps? Just curious if he was seen entering AND exiting the store. Please forgive the questions as I know this had to have been discussed, and I'm just trying to catch up...
