Only thing about EXIF on regular cameras (vs cellphones) if the camera has not been properly set with time and date, that can throw things off. I had a camera with a bad internal battery and it kept on shooting everything as of January 1, 2000 with a time of 00:00:01. I have one camera that I accidently set the time wrong one time and it shoots 12 hours off.
But in this case, they actually have the camera in possession so they know this is not the case. In theory, EJ could have changed the camera time to reflect a different date for when those pics were taken and then set it back. But as long as the internal battery was working, I would suspect they have a utility that can read the internal memory that can tell them if the timedate had been altered. In most cases, people set the datetime on initial camera set-up and never give it a second thought unless they actually put that date on the pictures (which I really hate BTW).
