Turns out the Virginia Tech shooting still contains mysteries:
Two days before the Virginia Tech massacre, witnesses saw a suspicious man in a hooded sweat shirt and found at least one exit door chained shut in the building where Seung Hui Cho killed 30 people, police said Friday.And:
Cho chained most of the exits of Norris Hall before firing 174 rounds of ammunition in just more than nine minutes there, but investigators said they had no indication he was the person who had chained the exit the first time.
Investigators have not found the hard drive to Cho's computers, Flaherty said.The obvious suggestion is that he destroyed the hard drive to remove evidence linking him with an accomplice. Even when overwritten, a hard drive may contain telltale traces. I don't think Cho would have destroyed the cell phone for that reason -- phone records would still exist.
"That's a piece of evidence we would love to find, along with his cell phone and possibly some other documents," he said.
If I recall correctly, the police never ruled out an accomplice, although the news media jumped to the conclusion that Cho acted alone.

Woah; I had totally missed that detail about the missing hard drive. That is very weird and more than a little suspicious.
Plus, what about that photo that disappeared all over the net of the guy getting arrested. he was pinned to the ground laying flat with a hoodie on? At first I took it with a grain of salt that maybe it was simply a case of mistaken identity, but when I noticed the massive and rapid black-out of the pic, my radar bell went off. I think Cryptome has the pic in his archives.
