Seems like they reported that he had destroyed his computer/hard drive.
I guess that was to lower our expectations about his data from computers.

Did his attempt to destroy hard drive fail, or are they surmising content by router logs?

Chris Bross is a senior engineer at Drive Savers a company which tries to recover data from erased or damaged hard drives. He told NBC News that in his two decades on the job, he has successfully extracted information from hard drives damaged intentionally by being hit with a hammer, shot or run over with a car.
Its actually difficult to successfully destroy data to an absolute level, he explains. What we do in a laboratory is engineering work. Theres always opportunity for recovery from a storage device unless that device has been extremely damaged. He confirms that, if the platters have been shattered, then theres no tangible way to put together data from that. But if the platters are partially chipped, scratched, or similar? Theres still a chance.
