Yeah, the casings are interesting because I don't think, you know, it's been speculated a couple of times that it's a professional hit.

A professional is going to take the casings with him.

The fact that they're left there is just someone who did what they wanted to do.

And I do believe this was a targeted hit and then just got out of there when they could and weren't concerned about the casings.

But the casings are so vitally important in this because of the DNA evidence from it.

Well, Nancy, this right here is a nine millimeter round.

The top part is the bullet and the back part is the casing.

And also there are certain marks that are left on the casing after the round is fired.

Now, this is a pistol that this round can be fired from.

The bolt goes out the front and the casing is ejected out of the side.

Now, the firing pin leaves a mark on the back of the casing, which is unique to the weapon.

Then the extractor leaves scratches on the casing, which is also unique to the weapon, and the ejector leaves dents on the casing.

Now, all these marks can be traced straight back to the weapon it's fired from, and that could link the suspect to the gun.

It can also link the suspect to the casing based on the fingerprints they get off the casing itself.

Yeah, well, we know there's no forced entry.

So that is concerning.

So they either let themselves in because they knew the passcode, because they've been at that residence before at the numerous parties that this couple had, and it's somebody they know, or they knocked on the door and one of them answered it and they were forced back into their bedroom.

So one of those two things happened.

The entry of just getting in is still unknown.

And that's what part of this investigation is going to be.
