She is alleged to have helped delete messages and remove people from group chats. Prosecutors allege that the deleted messages contained evidence of planning the incident and planning to help Song evade arrest and “by extension, [to] hinder prosecution of terrorism.”

Here is a relevant excerpt from the arrest warrant affidavit for another Prairieland defendant Janette Goering, written by Johnson County detective William J. Reilly:

1. Kent and Sharp indicated the arrangement to meet at the Murphy’s USA was conducted via signal chats. Signal is an end-to-end encrypted chat commonly used with intent to mitigate digital footprint and have conversations that have the ability to be deleted and unrecoverable. I know based on my training and experience the individuals who utilize end-to-end encrypted chats to be engaged in criminal activity, whether it be a conspiracy to commit a criminal offense or sharing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
