So then, this lighter was found in the field in a different area than where MS said the Yukon was parked.
There is no proof either way that this lighter does or does not belong to either MS or DM.
Apparently there were no prints or DNA (assuming it was tested?)
It can't even be entered into evidence.
This lighter could actually belong to someone completely unrelated to the case.
Are we even sure this is a lighter, or a really bright red herring? :thinking:
Yeah, it was obviously disregarded as evidence, but it's a reasonable suggestion that the lighter may have been dropped when the two were up to no good. The crime occurred in early May. The field would have been accessible for only a couple of weeks, since, there would be a snow bank along the road which would take a while to melt away. A farmer is not going to drop a lighter on his or her hay field. Never. Not gonna happen. In the hay field!? No.
How many trespassers would be in that area since the spring thaw? Two that we know of.
