That's what it sounds like but the pictures don't seem to indicate that?

Walker said police did a blue star examination of inside the barrel once it cooled down. It shows whether there is blood inside. #Garland

After pouring out the smouldering embers, Walker said they then did a "blue star examination" (Chemical causing blood to glow) #Garland #yyc

Walker said blue star is temporary so you have to be set up for a photo right away. #Garland #yyc

Out of respect for the family, they may choose not to release those. Although it sounds like there's nothing to see really, it's just the thought of the significance of those pics.
