Missing archives

[AttyTc]

Hello,

I was in close proximity to a fatal shooting Saturday morning. In looking at the archives, the period when the shooting occurred is missing. Any idea why? Anywhere else I can find those transmissions?

Feed: Parma, Parma Hts. and Brook Park Police / Fire

Date: 3/13/21

Incident occurred around 2am

Available archives: 1:27 - 1:46 (10 minutes missing), 1:57 - 2:05 (only 9 minutes long).

The period of 2:05 - 2:27 is missing completely.

The shooting occurred at approximately 2:10. So the minutes immediately prior to the shooting, during the shooting and immediately after the shooting are missing. Why would that be?

Thanks!

It possible the feed went briefly offline during that timeframe.

I bet the feed owner took it offline during that time.
Most of us who do feed and can get to the feed computer will turn it off in an event like such to keep officer safety to a max from the looneys.

Thanks for the answers. I'm new here and after exploring this site and broadcastify a bit, I realized individuals provide the feeds. I also discovered the ability to contact the broadcaster directly. I haven't gathered the courage to do that yet, but I will, lol. Thanks!

Folks, if there is an archive timeframe missing, it could be due to a few reasons:

1) The feed might have gone offline during that timeframe. Even a brief drop in the feed can result in a 30 min block not being recorded.

2) the server that archives the feed might have had a problem. We have 10 servers that archive the feeds 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and sometimes they needed to be rebooted due to maintenance, or they experience a problem or outage.

Thanks,
