Starting on October 2nd, Detective Baker and his team searched the 11-acre DeFrance property extensively.

It lasted for two full days with the help of special FBI-trained cadaver dogs.

And they found something.

I'll give you Detective Baker's exact words to Connie on this one because I think the phrasing is important.

Quote, It was blood on multiple items of personal clothing and inside a location that seemed reasonable that would explain what happened to Germaine.

And that, coupled with other evidence that we had, led us to that location.

End quote.

Obviously, if the blood on the clothing items turned out to be germane's, it would really help this case and lead investigators down a path to maybe getting justice.

So, of course, Detective Baker sent the evidence off to the Montana Crime Lab.

But when the report came back, it was inconclusive.

According to the National Institute of Justice, inconclusive DNA testing results can be due to multiple contributors to a sample, contamination, or degradation.

So unfortunately, the bloody clothing wasn't this smoking gun that Detective Baker was hoping for.

But he did find some literal guns, which was a problem because Michael was actually prohibited from owning firearms after his 2013 conviction for assaulting Jermaine.

So the Missoula police confiscated those weapons.

When Detective Baker asked Michael directly, quote, and you know you're not supposed to have guns, right?

Michael replied, quote, No.

No.

Keyword, later.

Getting botched, maybe?

Like, why is he not?
