As the controversy over Reserve Tulsa Deputy Bob Bates training records continues, there’s a possibility some may never be found. Tulsa County Undersheriff Tim Albin says Bates records aren’t the only ones missing from official office files. He says it’s believed in the transition from paper records to digitized a few years ago, some were never scanned and were consequently lost or destroyed.

Bates is charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of unarmed suspect Eric Harris. Albin points out records released of Bates training by his attorneys were Bates own copies and not those from the Sheriff’s office.
