Todd,

 

Take a look at Carlucci v. Piper Aircraft Corporation, a classic
spoliation case.  Remember Piper airplanes?  This case pretty much
bought the farm for the company.  In that case, a flight test supervisor
ordered a purging of the department's files to eliminate documents that
might be detrimental to Piper in a law suit.  Further, it was determined
that the destruction of potentially harmful documents was an ongoing
process.

I hope this is helpful.
