So unless someone in the room said the wake work followed by something significant to the crime, it's unlikely there is audio evidence in Amazon's cloud, but it's worth checking.

Hmm. I wonder if an Alexa "Call 911!" skill would be useful?
But why should ANYTHING I ask be sent to the cloud? Why does it need to be preserved?

I have wondered if there are or will be apps to integrate Alexa with medical/emergency alert-type services, or with 911.
