USA (VNN) - VNN has received the first enhanced version of one of the audio clips in question. The enhancement was done by a professional sound studio but is not the result of the forensic lab test that is going on right now.

Sound Clip in WAV Sound File (390 kb)

Since it appears to be clear that the audio tapes in question have been edited before they reached the United States, the focus of the investigation now turns to the following questions:

• Who did the audio recordings in Srila Prabhupada's room in November 1977?
• Who did the editing of the tapes before they reached the USA?
• Who gave the tapes to Satsvarupa Swami to take to the USA?
• Who did edit the tapes at the Bhaktivedanta Archives, since the copies that were given to Isa das differ from the tapes coming from the Bhaktivedanta Archives.
