1. What actual proof exists that the prints found were Jacobs? To have 100% verified that would have required the pair of shoes Jacob was wearing to use for print pattern verification and wear pattern evaluation. A second "like" pair of shoes may have been used to establish size and if the person who was doing the evaluation was very, very good, some wear pattern information may have been found to resemble those found in the print. Considering that there are over 100 indicators that only a trained tacker with years of experience can detect and document, I think the jury is still out on this one. Also noting the crime scene was heavily contaminated by unwitting first responders and other interested parties, this makes anything found, print or tire, very suspect.
2. DR is a suspect due to proximity and odd personality. What else really exists to point a hard finger at him?
3. Kevin may have contaminated the crime scene, but seems to have done so unwittingly.
Until LE is willing to share, I can't answer much more than the above. The few really good pictures I now posses show two officers standing on the evidence. Without knowing at what point in the investigation these pictures were taken, I cannot know if it was initial or after all the print casts and pictures were taken.
Whose footprint would it be then in the driveway? Doesn't LE have access to hundreds of examples of shoe treads so the tread could be identified ? That way LE could identify if it was Jacob's shoe with some certainty if it was the brand and size?
Doesn't LE have experience in identifying tracks and following them? There is no one on board that can do that? There were FBI called in right away.
I think the findings in the search of the house and property are what got LE to name a POI. The search done in was it 2010?
Finding blood on a trunk . Was that blood from a cadaver? That is something we do not know.
LE has kept evidence for technological advancement. We do not know what that evidence is.
We do not know why he was named POI. It is always interesting to me when someone goes to trial . The info LE has is amazing. Things no one except them knew
