I would say that such a photo is indisputably evidence of a
heinous let alone serious crime, but who is equipped to decide
whether the purchaser is a "reputable" or "non-reputable"
archive?  And if the image has been published, even with the
vile intent of celebrating the crime, it's unlikely that the
object sold is a piece of previously unknown evidence that
could reopen a long closed case.
