(02-02) 14:30 PST Columbia, Pa. (AP) -- 

Lancaster County detectives are trying to find out how a Columbia Police
Department computer containing crime-scene photographs, autopsy photos
and confidential data wound up at a computer store, prosecutors said.

"The computer was turned over to this office yesterday by the owner of a
computer-repair business who received it as a trade-in for a used
computer system," District Attorney Donald R. Totaro said Thursday.

A customer who traded the computer in at The Computer Outlet said he had
obtained it from a police officer who rented him an apartment, store
owner Jesse Sweigart said.
