Dispatch sent Nabozy to the apartment on Jan. 4 after they received a call from Booker. Booker’s attorney asked the officer if he was aware that Booker just wanted him to lock his door because he thought it had been broken into. He said that he was told to go check on the apartment.
The officer also said that before he went there, he was not aware that other officers had been at the apartment the night before. When he got there, the door was partially open.
Inside the apartment, Nabozny said he found drops of blood and a bottle of bleach in the bathroom. He also noticed the drain cover had been removed and was in the center of the bathtub. After seeing that, he notified his lieutenant, and they contacted detectives.
