And his mother complained that investigators didn't do a good job of searching that barn. Well, it turns out that some .38 caliber ammunition was found in the barn. And remember, Gary Ferris's bullet that was found on his ribcage was a .38 caliber. And yet in the barn, there was no firearm that could shoot a .38 caliber bullet.

So in Melody's mind, well, clearly her son must have used a gun, disposed of that weapon. But it turns out that Scott Ferris had a buddy who did have a gun, fired a .38, they'd get together and do some target practice. And that the bullets, the ammunition they found inside that barn was explained to the satisfaction of investigators.

On top of everything else, in the end, the .38 caliber bullets found in the barn was actually a different type of .38 caliber slug than what was found in Gary Ferris' body.

One of the big issues in this case, which for me is still unresolved, is how does a 120-pound Melody Ferris manage to get, if she murdered her husband, a 300-pound body into that burn pile? And one of the things that investigators looked at, there were two... farm vehicles that they had. One was called an RTV, a rough terrain vehicle.

And what investigators were wondering, and by the way, Melody knew how to use both of these vehicles. So they were wondering, did she take the RTV... and drag him out to the pile. So they went and checked the RTV and there was no DNA at all of Gary Farris on there. There was a single drop of blood. It turned out to be Melody's blood on the shifter.

But as somebody that, you know, we have a place out in the country and when you're out there, I mean, every time I go out there, I cut myself on something. So they just didn't think that was significant. The other vehicle was a tractor with a small shovel in the front, but large enough to carry a human being.

And investigators checked it out to see if there was any DNA inside that shovel that matched Gary Ferris. and they found nothing there. So there was just no evidence at all that a body had been dragged from the house up to the burn pile, had been dragged anywhere, and there were no tire marks that went directly from the house to the burn pile.
