From some of the evidence and bits of information in the SW's and AW documents I
believe LE is hinting to us that they believe an
axe is the weapon used for the killing.
Easily hidden on the body or taped to the bike frame many axes are only 20-24" long and
lightweight for carrying.
An axe has both a blunt side for heavy hammering and a sharp side angled for cutting. Usually the head is made of steel and the handle is wood. (wood fragment ??) When axes are mfgrd. a small sliver of wood, and sometimes also a
pc. of steel is wedged into the handle to hold the head onto the handle. If the ax fails and head is separated from handle, this wood fragment would be loosened
and possibly fall off.
An ax would cover the types of blood spatter the
ME and forensics suggest. Both blunt force and cutting by sharp instrument mentioned in
documents.
He may have also had his fishing/hunting type
folding knife (switchblade) in a pocket of hoodie. If head of ax came off during crime he may have used knife for final acts.
If testing shows wood fragment found in JFD's
Suburban is ASH wood, which most axes made in US are made of, this would further confirm
an ax may have been the weapon.
Also the mention of a friend loaning an ax to
FD seems to confirm their thoughts.
We see that once an item is mentioned by LE
there's usually a strong reason for introducing
this information.
For comparison here's some of the more popular types of axes sold today.
