And we've already talked about how there was no obvious blood at the scene of the crimes, though given the injuries of the boys, there had to have been a lot of it, at least for the one boy who did bleed out. The police applied luminol to the area and it lit up in eight spots. I will say I've typically only seen luminol applied to like not nature, to like a car or to an apartment or a bathroom.

I don't know that I've personally ever looked at a case where luminol was applied to the outside, like the woods, and how effective that would be versus say a bathroom.

Yeah. But there could be certainly something mixed in, right? There could be. This is not as a sterile environment as, say, a bathroom that looks clean. And then you apply the luminol and all of a sudden you see the blood spatter over here and then like a dragging mark on the ground. This is not that situation. We are still in the outdoors.

So the police, when they apply the luminol to this whole kind of bank area, they saw it light up in three spots. Three of them were connected to the stream and where the bodies were laid after they were pulled from the water. That's the part Brett was saying that this is likely that the luminol is reacting correctly because we know for a fact where the police laid the bodies.

And so that it did light up where they were on the bank. Now, three others were transfers and two other spots were on the scuffed off part of the bank. Remember where the reeds were kind of bent over with their heads in the mud? It looked like someone had brushed off that whole area. Now, these were believed to be the points of attack. because of the pattern of where the luminol lit up.

Whereas, of course, where the boys were laid on the bank after they were pulled out of the water, those were not the points of attack. We understand why they would have lit up because we know that their bodies were ultimately placed there.

And another point that going back to something we said, the fact that two of the boys drowned, I think also points to this being the point of the attack and ultimately where they died. Because if you were going to do the risky thing of transferring them elsewhere, you want to make sure that they're completely dead before transferring them. Because what if they wake up?

What if they kick out taillights or something like that and are able to make some noise as you're transferring them to the dump site? So the fact that two of the boys drowned, I think also, to me, points to the fact that not a lot of time was between the point of attack and the dumping into the water. And so, likely, it all happened right there. And then there's the weather that day. So...

The weather that day was a high of 73 and a low of 59. As we know, it had been raining the four days prior, and because of that rain for four days, it swelled that 10-mile bayou and the creek where the boys were found so that there was, in fact, water. And eventually, when there was no water, that creek was going to dry out, but not on this day because of the four days of rain.

Now, on the 6th, the day the boys were found, the temperature rose all the way to 82, so quite hot. A few things to note. When it rains and when it's warm outside, and this is relatively warm. It's dropping down to 59 at night, but not really cool, I would say. It's going to be muggy, and you're going to have a lot of mosquitoes, obviously, with the wet moisture heat environment.
