I need a forensic examiner to examine a single 6 min mp3 audio file for evidence of edits
Budget: $750 – $1,500 AUD
I am in Australia and currently going through a very acrimonious property settlement with my ex wife. I have in my possession significant evidence of her fabricating and/or manipulating existing documentation to support her false narrative of family violence alleged to have been perpetrated by me. All this evidence has been previously provided to the police and to the courts, with my name being cleared of any and all of her allegations. But it doesn't end there...
For context, our 8-year marriage ended when her adult son from a previous marriage, that lived with us, beat me with a metal pipe and I was hospitalised. She threatened that if I called the police on her son that she would destroy me. I had to call the police. She has attempted to follow through on her threat ever since and from where her allegations stem.
Subsequent to all of her previous allegations being dismissed, she has now produced a 9 1/2 minute, 6.9MB mp3 audio file that she claims shows that I committed family violence against her. I was released from the hospital only to retrieve a daily medication I require because she refused to bring it to the hospital, as well as gather some personal belongings. Because I was in no condition to drive, I had a close friend, John, drive me there, as well as to act as support and a witness to anything she might try.
When we arrived, I went to the door, while my friend waited outside for me, thinking this should be a quick, simple trip. I thought it odd when I saw her walking to the door pressing buttons on her iphone. Throughout the short visit, she attempted to keep me from getting most anything because she claimed it was all community property (NOTE: after over two years, she has still refused to return my personal property and one reason for the property litigation).
When I realised that I was not going to be able to get much of anything in a single suitcase (in the second half of the audio), I decided I needed to call my friend in for assistance. As I went towards the front door, she quickly ran to the door to block my exit. Looking down at her phone, she says, "Don't hit me!!" I realised immediately what was up and said with a bit of a chuckle at the ridiculousness of it as I never once touched her, "Hit you?! [her name], are you recording this?" I asked her to move away from the door, but she would not. So I reached around her and was able to open the door part way and yelled, "John, I need your help in here, please!!" She then yelled loudly, "YOU BROUGHT JOHN HERE?!?!". I said, "You didn't think I would come by myself, did you?" I then went to to the garage door exit to bypass her and to meet John, where I was able to get my car and leave. None of the conversation after she says, "don't hit me" is on this audio file she is now providing as "new evidence" two years later, so I know without any doubt this file has been edited, but I need to clearly show this forensically, if it can be done with reasonable efficiency and cost.
Please note that laws in Australia prohibit me from providing the file itself to anyone other than the potential analyst.
