NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A technology expert said Wednesday that potentially years' worth of Mayor Ray Nagin's e-mails have been deleted.
Christopher Reade, a partner in a tech firm who assisted the Louisiana Technology Council in efforts to recover data for the mayor's office, said the mailbox was removed between June 2008 and May 2009. He said 22 gigabytes of data vanished from a defunct server on May 5 — the day of a conference call with the city on the work the outside technology experts would do — but he did not know if the mailbox was among that data.
City technology chief M. Harrison Boyd, who came on board last summer, said he was shocked. He said controls put in place in March would have made it "virtually impossible" to delete any information in May.
