Well, with respect to the finding the DNA evidence,

Two weeks later, my first thought would be to compare that to the DNA from everybody who has entered that resident, just to rule that out so there's no embarrassment down the road.

I'm not, nobody's perfect.

I've returned to scenes and found additional evidence.

Everybody wishes they could go to a scene and process just to make sure they didn't overlook anything.

The two week later thing,

is a little tough, but it is what it is.

And again, the important thing is that that's getting collected.

If more information has come out and I'm allowed to go to a scene and check for additional items, I've also returned to a scene with one of the gurus, Tom Bevel, who is from Bevel Gardener and Associates, and walked through my double homicide with him and learned from him about some additional stains that I could have collected.

You've got to stay humble, stay open.

Everybody there should be as a team and just trying to do the right thing and find Nancy Guthrie and the perpetrator.

Well, if we're speaking technically, I had an interesting injury on one of my victims in the double homicide.

There was a bloodstain pattern adjacent to where his head had been.

And I learned from Tom Bevel that that actually wasn't an additional shot fired that sheared when it struck the victim.

So it was...

changed my number of shots fired.

It made me look so much closer at bloodstained patterns.

What do you mean by that?

One of the bullets struck my victim in the forehead and actually some of the bullet fragments entered into his head and some of them sheared off and went directly perpendicular to the victim's head through the door.

So tiny, tiny circular stains that I had overlooked after being in a crime scene for probably 24 hours, uh,
