They were able to show probable cause to compel at least two other suspects to give DNA samples, so I wonder if they weren't able to get a warrant for the ex, why not? I'll have to re-read the new documents. I thought they did get a sample.
FWIW, in addition to the many places where names were accidentally not redacted in the second release, it's pretty easy to tell names because although much was redacted in the first set, names weren't redacted. In the second set, names were redacted but other information wasn't. It's pretty easy to match them up. I also have found it interesting to compare what was redacted from the first set and the second, since LE was saying that important evidence was redacted. The note is obviously a huge piece of evidence that was not released. In addition to that, I gather from the inventory of items taken from the bedroom in FH's apartment that LE thought there was significance to the two bottles from the kitchen that were found in the bedroom (I can't help but wonder if one was a murder weapon since human tissue was found on it), and her cell phone.
FH's blood alcohol level was only .02 when they did the tox screen, ChinaCat. She also was driving that evening, so I would bet that you are right and that she drank only moderately.
Ok, haven't seen the first, less redacted, set of released docs, but have gone through the documents on WRAL's documentcloud and here's what I gather:
Players: 1. FH 2. KR 3. 4 law school friends who left The Thrill with FH & KR 4.BE who is "just friends" with KR 5.Ex of KR (name?) 6. JM & JB, whose place KR went to at 4:30
Locations searched per warrants released: 1. KR apt #1502 and 2. EX (?) apt #904 (interestingly, it sounds like the name of JM or JB came up in the cell phone dump as somehow being related to this apartment. If he was there that night getting a call from KR at 4:15 to take her for a booty call, then Ex surely knew about it all, because he was there--it was his apartment?!?!!!)
Vehicles searched per warrants released: 1. FH; 2. the white Honda of BE, 3. the black Jeep of Ex
Things taken in searches: Clothing from all apts, electronic devices (laptops and phones), swabs from backseat of Honda, swabs from #1502, wine bottle, rum bottle (it doesn't note in warrant where those bottles were located--could have been anywhere in apartment?)
Facebook warrants: 1.KR 2.FH 3.Ex
DNA warrants: Based on the probable cause "story" we can deduce the targets: 1. Law school dude she walked out of bar with but he later agreed voluntarily (so we can rule him out, right?) 2. JM (or JB?) who drove KR to their place at 4:30. Seems to have been taken so we can rule him/them out too seemingly.
NOTE: 3rd request/order are missing probable cause pages, thus story, and seem to state those are still sealed, but the person who it was being requested of lives in Greensboro...is that BE or Ex or who?
Per the Order to Unseal Dtd 9/5/14 a few interesting tidbits:
1. Autopsy report should be unsealed except for photos...has anyone seen that? It may have to be requested from Coroner?
2. There were THREE "nontestimonial ID orders" (ie DNA) and all three were granted....so, we know 2 of the three but the third isn't clear and does that mean we also know that no other DNA had to be ordered to be collected (which isn't the same as no more was collected--maybe others volunteered it?)
3. IMPTLY, some things are still
under seal until 10/1/14! So there are documents that have not been unsealed and released yet. Why do that? What is the point of the 2 week gap/delay? Interesting.
I read the "gaspo" posts linked above, including the 911 call. I'm still not sure about him--what are his credentials? Why should I believe him on anything? Nothing personal to him, but if I believed every blogger out there, I'd be insane. There is nothing in his "about me" section and he seems more informal than professional, IMOO. Can someone direct me to his background or a reason I should listen to his opinions? He does have some good facts and documents though!!
In his 911 transcription, he has KR stating "she's in my bedroom". (This makes sense to me--if she was letting Faith crash there, she probably would not have a 2 bedroom apartment but a one bedroom and a living room couch (which BE slept on the night before? riiiiiigggghhhhtt). I bet FH slept on the couch. What college kid would rent a 2 bedroom without a roommate--way too expensive.) So again, clarifies to me that the note and the scene were meant for KR to find and directed at her.
All in all my biggest question is: Why no request/order for the DNA of Ex? Did he give it voluntarily? Skigirl, were you able to find out anything on this tidbit?
I guess I now mark my calendar for 10/1/14......
