the hard drive contained four-years' worth of the family's digital pictures. So, maybe because of their previous experiences with the DHS and law enforcement, they hid the hard drive to keep it safe. Maybe they worried that, if the police get possession of it, that could very well be the last they'll ever see of the undamaged hard drive and/or the precious photographs it contains.

This makes no sense to me because if all her pictures of her precious child were on a "hard drive" you would think she would down load them on to a disc, print them etc.

That would be an innocent person's instinct.

Something's really not right about these people - from the obvious to what we dont' know.

Even assuming they had the CD burner and CDs, four years' worth could potentially take a long time to burn to disc.

print them etc.

That would take even more time, and I'd bet any prints they would get from their own printer would be well short of keepsake quality.

Time is in very short supply when a murder investigation is cranking up.

Again, it's the only good excuse I can come up with for their being 'freaked-out' about the cops conficating their hard drive. I have no idea whether it's the actual reason.
