It was in a file cabinet and locked and forgot about. Did the police department move?
I don't know what kind of smoking gun will be there, I don't think there will be anything, but we can hope. The smoking gun is him backing up your computer the DAY before the murder, and conveniently having your laptop stolen the day of your wife's murder...that's the huge key.
Raven was arrested for embezzlement and they searched his computers back then, 3 months prior to the murder, so he knew after the murder his laptop would be confiscated. He made a backup of the documents he wanted to keep so there must have been something on the original laptop that he wanted hidden and that harddrive had to be removed permanently.
Maybe he realized even if he deleted something from the harddrive there would have been some fingerprint there. I know he was fond of Franklin Covey Planning, he probably had everything sketched out and lists made of everything he needed to do prior to the murder, including making sure the Accura would be in good enough shape because he knew after he killed her he would need to get it back to Jim Bolton, his step-father who signed on the loan.. Without the original harddrive though, and just a backup of files that he copied, they wouldn't be able to see whatever lists he may have had. He needed to make sure he had a back up of the files he wanted to keep, including his pornographic pictures of girls. I'm hoping something good gets found on the palm pilot or pda whatever it is, but he wouldn't have left that in his vehicle if there was going to be.
To me another big ah ha moment is Raven admitting to people that he KNEW Janet was pregnant and told his family. They will, of course, deny it, but what else would you expect. Why would he deny knowing she was pregnant to the police. He didn't want another kid, he couldn't afford it and he knew it, I get so frustrated when I think about this at times. Especially after the NC wanted video and him talking about wanting a baby brother or sister for Kaiden....at the time of airing actually Kaiden did have a sibling.

Another weird thing to me is you look at the medical examiners report, at the three wounds. One through her finger one through her neck and collar bone area (which was the fatal one). The one they call chest area to me is what I would have labeled stomach area, it's under the heart, above the belly button. ME attested he couldn't tell which one came first.
I did this scenerio with friends numerous times. Sit at your desk and have someone come up to you and put their left arm around you, as in a hug, okay honey, i'm leaving... what is your first instict? Mine is instinctively to take my left hand and pat them. Since I'm right handed I use my left hand for these types of gestures, it's normal for me. The person stabs and the knife goes through her finger. He then takes his left hand and holds tighter and brings the knife in and up at an angle from left to right. She slumps to her knees, head down, there's the huge flow of blood as this was the fatal one, he rolls her over and the last stab goes into the chest (to me it seems like it's more in the stomach area) as an afterthought. Who would do this.
There was no defensive wounds on her. It could have been the first stab into the neck area and the second stab hit her finger as she had a reflexive action and then the (chest/stomach) was an afterthought. That was straight in, only way that could have happened is if she was already laying on the ground. I tried every single scenerio, meaning the person was facing her with a knife, and he stabbed her in the stomach first, it don't make sense because she would have kicked, screamed and there would have things turned over, she would have done anything because Kaiden was upstairs also. If she knew Raven was gone, she would not have allowed anyone that close to her to put their arm around her, so the one wound HAD to be made from behind.
Who else could have done this? There is nobody but Raven.
