“What hotel keeps security footage that is 7 months old? Is that normal?
Most I have seen is loops that keep 4-5 days.”
Excellent point!
IMO, keeps looking more and more like a false flag operation.
Unless there was some “Incident” that occurred.
And if that was the case, the hotel may have filed a police report and sent them a copy of the video. They may have also been advised to keep a copy for themselves.
