The following evidence collected during the search of Weldon Foyle's residence, vehicle and person as well as the search of Nathaniel Harrison "Hunter" Nelson's residence, vehicle and person was analyzed with the results shown.

Note: Some findings have been condensed and/or simplified for inclusion in this report.



Items obtained from the search of the residence and vehicle of Weldon Foyle were examined using an alternate light source for the presence of human biological evidence. The items analyzed included:

  • Item 004378-56 One (1) leather "gym" bag, black
    • Results: Found to contain possible biological material in the interior of the bag. The stain was negative for the presence of blood. Microscopic evaluation yielded the presence of epidermal cells. The quality and quantity of DNA present was sufficient, and the sample was submitted for STR analysis.
  • Item 004378-57 One (1) men's cotton t-shirt, blue with dark-colored stains, size XL
    • Results: No biological material discovered.

The following items were then analyzed and compared to known samples.

  • Item 004378-56: black leather bag, recovered from Weldon Foyle's residence
