As this point lays out, there's some reason to believe that FBI claimed, under oath, that the woman took a picture of the pool BEFORE Davey got there (but maybe they lied about when it was taken), but in the MTD they attribute it (and the time) to someone else.

After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van.
His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.
