It seems likely they'd do something with her catalogue.

Well if it were still there, it would be at Columbia. The Sony labels have been drifting away from professional camaraderie lately as they're pushing to compete for market revenue like how Capitol and Interscope and Republic do even though they're all UMG, and since Mariah is Epic now Columbia doesn't have incentive to send someone to track it down. (This is funny because they're all in the same building so obviously people interact but not in this way because people worry about having clearance and etc.) For someone of Mariah's stature, this video would have been with her management and really high up label reps, AKA Tommy and whoever was working directly under him. Now that Tommy is gone, and frankly turnover in music is very high, I really doubt there is a single person there who still has the video. When she left Columbia, this stuff was probably either deleted or shafted onto a private floppy disk so that it wouldn't leak. Unfortunately LA Reid doesn't have much ability to go into Columbia and have someone look for the video if he wanted to, because at the end of the day Columbia and Epic are still competitors. I wish I had more info on Columbia but outside of Train/Beyoncé and a couple of rock bands, my focus was Epic.
She would really have to dig deep with her former connections to have the video found, and she is a busy woman with other more current projects to focus on sadly.
