Afternoon testimony
#116, Linen closet to the north of the sink area
#117, accumulation of blood at the edge of the linen closet
The fact that there is blood in different areas indicates the blood source was moving. Cannot say how fast the source was moving.
#118, Box in the linen closet that shows that bloody water was wicked up into the box. How can that be accomplished? There are some diluted blood stains in the closet. Cannot comment on the volume of blood but because the markings are very red it's more than a drop.
#125, Large circular stain on the tiled floor, the source could have been in one position for a while or the water contact would have had a pooling effect.
#120, Hallway, tiled floor, hair found, expert did screening on the hair. At the lab the expert processed the root of the hair and sent it to the lab.
#126, Floor, door trim visible, west wall of the bathroom hallway, some stains are lighter and they are lighter due to being in contact with water. There is a transfer stain on the wall in a "sliding" pattern.
#127, Same area, a couple of transfer patterns on the baseboard, there is more volume of blood that caused the blood to drip down.
#129, Hallway, west wall, there is carpet at the bottom of the photo. There is a clean area in the middle of the hallway. There is blood along both sides of the hallway. Water has gone through the entire middle of the area. Something could have been in the area to prevent the area from becoming bloody. Could have been used by a cleaning utensil. It's "just a bunch of bloodstains". The source would have been in the area depositing blood on both sides of the hall.
#132, Where the carpet meets the tiled floor, electrical outlet, transfer stain on the wall. Blood can be on the wall and something coming into contact with it.
#133, same type of photo, the transfer of blood occured where you see the stain on the wall. Difficult to identify patterns due to water being in contact with the drops.
#131, carpet, large saturation stain, blood source would have been over the area. Part of the stain appears to be rubbed. Somebody walking through the area could have caused it. On the under side of the carpet it was determined that water had been applied to the stain. At the scene the expert doesn't remember the carpet being wet.
#128, carpet where it meets tile, large stain and a lot of transfer stains. Stepping in the stains could have disrupted the area. Implies a lot of movement in the area. No blood stains in/on the bed. Somebody may have walked on the doorway blood and gone down the hall.
#78, Closet. No blood.
#121, Transfer pattern on the baseboard.
#79, Corner of baseboard, another transfer pattern
#81, lip of the shower, blood source came into contact with it, transfer pattern. Cannot determine if it is a swipe pattern.
#121, tiled floor, transfer patter, shoe print, not a sock or bare foot.
#122, better photo of the shoe print, direction is ????
#162, photo of sock? foot in photo. bare foot no sock or shoe. could not have made the shoe pattern in the blood on the floor. It means that the person wearing the shoe walked through the bathroom after blood was shed.
