Bank survelillence video - what is on it?

(I started this thread because I didn't see this mentioned elsewhere, and the earlier thread for discussing this material is now locked.)

I'm making my way through the Carver Co. material.

There's a 3+ hour video from a security camera at Americana Bank of Chanhassen. Could anyone tell me why it is included? And at what point something of interest appears?

Perhaps the answer is in the documents but I haven't even tackled them yet. So if someone could quickly explain I'd be very grateful.

It's across from Walgreens. They were using it to confirm who picked up prescriptions and who was with them.
They used other local security cameras to do similar things.
Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.

If that's the case, it's Bremer bank that is in the same parking lot as the Walgreens in Minnetonka.

If the OP puts these coordinates into Google Earth, it'll put them right between Walgreens (to the upper left of the bookmark) and the Bremer branch (to the SE of Walgreens) 44°54'51.28"N 93°30'15.00"W The parking lot he was pictured in is on the south side of the Walgreens. The front of Wagreens faces east. It's in Minnetonka on Rte 7. The address is on the pill bottles in those photos, too.

The Walgreens is south of the Americana Bank. But the one camera angle I see is at the bank's drive-thru window. It is facing north, toward the Jimmy John's and the Country Inn and Suites.

There are other videos from the cameras at Walgreens, that clearly show Kirk going in and out and picking up prescriptions.

Not sure what you're referring to in particular? Here are directions to download all of the released material:

Everything can be downloaded at the following link:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dvygxzyvtqwtvwb/AAC9sn7-Srj227RoySDdXQD4a?dl=0

I recommend downloading the zip files separately.

Zip file #2 has hundreds of photos from 21 April, 2016.

Be aware, the first 32 photos in the folder named "...469-SLB" include the death scene photos.

Folder "...459-SMM" has the video vault pics. They are 290-325 and 587-596.

The bank surveillance video is also in Zip file #2.


Zip file #4 has hundreds of pics taken on 10 and 11 May, 2016.

Zip file #5 has the music vault pics. They're in the folder named "Item #139 - photos of Prince's Vault." These appear to have been taken the day the vault was opened.

I see what you're saying about the Bremer Bank being across from Walgreens. I had not even noticed that the Walgreens they were using for prescriptions, etc. was the one in Minnetonka, I assumed it was the one in Chanhassen. Doh! Thx for pointing that out.

But, the surveillance video is definitely from the Americana Bank in Chanhassen. Here's a screenshot from the video...you can see the hotel and the Jimmy John's in the background:

Yeah, a local on here hunted it down when those photos came out. The retaining wall and office building behind them (a vet's office I think) was all verified. Hell, even the trees are the same. You couldn't see the Bremer bank thing in those TMZ pics of course. It was odd that it was up in Minnetonka, because it's about 7 miles up and over, compared to one much closer right on Atrium, just east of PP. Maybe it was a privacy thing.

I doubt he ever knew about the photos taken of him outside Walgreens, which I'm sort of glad about.

The North Memorial Clinic that he went to on Highway 7 is about 1/2 mile to the Walgreens in Minnetonka. That's probably why he chose that one that night.

I haven't looked at any videos or photos, but from the documents I read, Andrew Kornfield said he checked into the Country Inn & Suites that morning. The detective or officer checked with Country Inn & Suites and they said they did not have any video surveillance. The detective or officer stated that it looked like the bank did have surveillance. My guess is they were looking for video to corroborate Andrew's statement about when/where he said he was that morning. The report indicated Homeland Security verified he was on the flight he said he was and the Country Inn & Suites verified he was a guest.

Strange a hotel has no video surveillance, even of the front counter (in case of a robbery).

Anyway, yes, I suppose they were trying to verify comings and goings at the hotel.

Below is one of the many pics the cops took in PP on 4/21...including a hotel key card...
