BBMThat's what I was thinking. If you have a child who wets the bed on a a regular basis, why wouldn't you put on a pull-up so you didn't have to change everything every night. If she did have a bed wetting problem, maybe not waking her up at all hours of the night to make her drink protein shakes (or whatever the heck they claim they were giving her) would have helped.
My guess, as far as the laundry goes, is that if he did do laundry, it was his own clothes that got dirty from taking her body to that nasty culvert to dispose of her and perhaps some kind of fluid on his clothes from her (milk, vomit, etc.)
Where the heck are the toxicology reports? From what I've read, the initial screening takes about 2 weeks to see if any drugs are present and if further testing to determine the type of drug and the amount is needed, another 2 weeks. From his description of watching her breathing slow down, she may have been overdosed on some kind of sedative. Of course he lies so who knows if that part of his story is even true.
Just for reference as a jumping off spot in the Kenneka Jenkins case her body was found on September 10th and in depth toxicology reports were back and the cause of death was complete October 7th. (27 days if my math is correct) I realize there were no similarities bewteen these cases and the time is dependent on what lab LE chose to use but it should give us a rough estimate of what to expect.
Sherin was found October 22nd so around the 18th of November would be a good estimate with all things being equal. Dallas County Medical Examiner boasts it’s lab facilities but I don’t have a clue what their backlog is in toxicology testing and with the FBI involvement the FBI lab even with the volume of testing usually comes back a little faster than some private labs.
How long does it take get forensic toxicology test results?
Many popular “crime scene investigation” television programs are able to complete toxicology reports in a very short (and unrealistic) time frame. However, in reality, while an autopsy is usually completed within a day or two after a death, the final results of the toxicology report may take four to six weeks or longer.
Many factors play into the length of time needed to gather forensic toxicology test results, including:
Additionally, once toxicology results are available, there is an internal review process for quality control, and experts such as board-certified pathologists and toxicologists may be consulted. The final toxicology report may incorporate other information, such as field evidence at the scene of the crime, or the possibility of fatal drug interactions, to determine the cause of death. Finally, before the results of the toxicology test and cause of death can be made public, the family must be notified.
- the need for confirmatory testing
- the complexity of and the number of specific tests required
- case workload and staffing at the testing laboratory
