It is one thing to willingly come forward with information concerning the profile Anthony_shots' solicitation yet quite another to simply remember the specific usernames Anthony_shots or emilyanne45 from five years ago. There were appx 15 victims (pg 2).
Judging by the Probable Cause in this case, the number of victims may not be high in number but there are times when their contact was lengthy. IE, one victim's contact using Kik Chat 135* was almost 6 months long (Apr-Oct 2016) with emilyanne45. That particular victim may definitely recall details from their encounters.
* See pages 20 - 23 of the PCA for the conversations on Kik Chat 135.

I believe it to be likely that the contact with our victims, A&L, was by using the white iPhone 5c. It was not taken in the initial FEB 25 search warrant yet was turned in to the ISP on FEB 27 after KAK uninstalled and deleted all of the (5+) apps as soon as he got home from taking the polygraph at the Peru Police Station and also on the following day, FEB 26. (pg 33)
Evidence on the iPhone 5c was destroyed when KAK deleted the apps. Some still images were recovered.
I do hope LEO was able to recover data from any contact with KAK from LGs iPhone even though her phone went through a factory reset.
