I caught that too, Knox.. About the ID.. I too immediately remembered the Initial police report.. Possible he meant License.. But most likely IMO it would be the Mercer ID that would be out and visibly seen, and not her drivers license.. Just something we probably won't know one way or another any time soon, but I did pick up on that as well..
As for the luminol my mother in law that lives up north has worked for crime scene and forensics for 26 years for their sheriff's Dept.. I called her just before I'd logged back on to listen to the audio..
Talked to her about the luminol.. The only thing I relayed to her was that while investigating a crime scene the unit had gone thru an entire bottle of luminol and a neighboring county had to bring in additional luminol for the unit to use..
Her question to me was, "has a body been dismembered?"
She hasn't a clue about this case and lives 800 miles north of me and I'm in Memphis.. I was stunned at first but then not so much as it is most times extremely grisly.. I know that hunters bleed their deer, quarter, etc, etc.. But I really really don't see that having been done..
Lauren being suspended in the air with chains and such prior to dismembering.. Could it have happened that way? Sure..
I just think it's not likely, and that just as the majority of
Dismemberment cases there is alot of blood, whether bleached and scrubbed no matter when the luminol hits It you can even see the spray or splattered pattern the blood made..
I asked her anyway do you use entire bottles just keeping on spraying everywhere hoping that some blood will show up somewhere and she said no as she laughed stating that it goes alot further than what you think and that there is a procedure that's used in testing areas with luminol..
She says its not like you just drench an entire wall with luminol.. Just doesn't work that way..
She said in all her years the only case she knew
Of personally where that amount of luminol was
Used was on a dismemberment of a body crime scene..
You can take it Fwiw..
