the chain of custody was broken by not working on the original device
The cloned copy was lost

The investigator performed a file copy
The investigator should have performed a bit level copy not a file copy. Bit level copies are needed to preserve slack space A file level copy will not capture slack space Chain of custody procedures were followed. The investigator should preserve the original device and work on the copy
