Podcasts about Luminol

If you listened to Tuesday's episode covering the cold hard facts of the Ottis Toole case, you know the basics. His horrific childhood in Jacksonville's Springfield neighborhood. His partnership with Henry Lee Lucas. His six confirmed murder convictions. His confessions to the Adam Walsh killing. But the basics only scratch the surface of one of the most mishandled investigations in American criminal history.This episode of The Redacted Report digs into the dark corners that mainstream coverage leaves out. We expose the Jacksonville detective who was removed from the case after allegedly feeding Toole information about the Walsh murder in exchange for a promised book deal. We examine the controversial Luminol photograph that a retired detective claims shows Adam Walsh's face etched in blood on Toole's car floorboard, and why critics say the image was manipulated to show something that was never really there.We reveal the disturbing 1988 letter Toole sent to John and Revé Walsh demanding five thousand dollars in exchange for telling them where their son's body was buried. We play excerpts from the recorded prison phone calls between Toole and Lucas where the two killers casually discussed cannibalism and compared notes on their crimes. We revisit the seventeen-year-old Sears security guard whose decision to kick a group of children out of the store may have placed six-year-old Adam Walsh directly in the path of a predator.We also investigate the Jeffrey Dahmer connection that the Hollywood Police Department never adequately addressed. Two credible eyewitnesses independently identified Dahmer as a man they saw at the Hollywood Mall the same day Adam disappeared. Dahmer was living in South Florida at the time and had access to a blue van matching witness descriptions. When FBI Agent Neil Purtell interviewed Dahmer about the case, Dahmer's response haunted him for years.This episode examines why the case was closed using an exceptional clearance rather than an actual prosecution, what that administrative maneuver really means, and why Police Chief Chad Wagner admitted at the press conference that the magic wand piece of evidence simply does not exist.We discuss the other suspect nobody remembers, a man named Edward James who reportedly confessed to a cellmate and had new seat covers installed in his car weeks after the murder.The Ottis Toole case is a study in tunnel vision, lost evidence, competing agendas, and a justice system more interested in closing files than finding truth.

On July 27, 1981, six-year-old Adam Walsh vanished from a Sears department store at the Hollywood Mall in Hollywood, Florida. Two weeks later, fishermen discovered his severed head in a drainage canal near Vero Beach. His body was never found. This case would transform America's approach to missing children forever, but the question of who actually killed Adam Walsh remains deeply contested to this day. In this episode of The Redacted Report, we go beyond the official narrative to explore the details that rarely make it into documentaries and news specials. We examine the seventeen-year-old security guard whose fateful decision to remove rowdy kids from the store left Adam alone and vulnerable in an unfamiliar parking lot. We dig into the explosive allegations that emerged during the Sears lawsuit, including claims made under oath by Adam's godfather Jimmy Campbell about a four-year affair with Revé Walsh and the family's alleged drug use. We trace the bizarre confession carousel of convicted serial killer Ottis Toole, who admitted to the murder dozens of times only to recant repeatedly, and whose partner Henry Lee Lucas was proven to be in a Maryland jail cell on the day of the abduction. We also investigate the controversial Jeffrey Dahmer theory championed by journalist Arthur Jay Harris and witnesses Willis Morgan and Bill Bowen, who independently identified Dahmer as the suspicious man they saw at the Hollywood Mall that day. Dahmer was living in Miami Beach at the time, working at Sunshine Subs just twenty minutes from where Adam disappeared, and had access to a blue van matching witness descriptions. Former FBI agent Neil Purtell, who interviewed Dahmer in prison, believes the serial killer's cryptic statement that "anyone who killed Adam Walsh could not live in any prison, ever" was essentially a coded admission of guilt. We examine the catastrophic failures of the Hollywood Police Department, including the lost bloodstained carpet from Toole's Cadillac, the missing machete, and the destroyed vehicle that might have provided the DNA evidence needed for a conviction.We question the controversial Luminol photograph that retired detective Joe Matthews compared to the Shroud of Turin, which critics dismiss as forensic pareidolia. And we explore how Police Chief Chad Wagner's 2008 decision to close the case through "exceptional clearance" satisfied the Walsh family but left many investigators and witnesses unconvinced.Through it all, we trace Adam's extraordinary legacy, from the Missing Children Act of 1982 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to America's Most Wanted to the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. John Walsh transformed unimaginable grief into systemic change that has protected millions of children and led to the capture of over twelve hundred fugitives.This is the Adam Walsh case as you've never heard it before. The official story says Ottis Toole was the killer. The evidence says something far more complicated.

Kyle and Brandon head out to have Samantha's car forensically tested but, will it hold the results Brandon is hoping for? Or, will the guys manage to botch it like everything else?

What began as "Russian Mountains" evolved across Europe, and eventually, found their way to the good ol' U.S. of A... In 1884, one man wanted to use his vast fortune--NO! Not to help anyone!--to keep a recently re-unioned American population from getting too drunk, too horny, and too gambly... So he built himself a roller coaster, and with it, he made even more money (which he did not share), but at least he gave us all the gift of post-mule speeds, and the exhilaration that comes with it! Join us to learn about the FIRST ROLLER COASTER!

Daybell Closing Arguments on the Way: Nephi, Luminol, and a Wedding in Hawaii The lead detective never read the Book of Mormon, but Google helped him learn that Nephi killed a man under divine orders—and somehow, that helped shape a murder investigation. As court reconvened in Lori Vallow Daybell's Arizona trial, the state officially rested its case. The defense? Also ready to rest. No witnesses. No testimony from Lori herself. Her decision was final. With closing arguments expected Monday, the court is preparing jury instructions for what could be the final stretch. But before all that, Lori had questions. A lot of them. She stepped up to the lectern and grilled Detective Nathan Duncan like she was trying out for a legal drama. Why didn't they test the bat for DNA? Why wasn't Luminol used on the gun? What about the blood on Charles Vallow's shirt? Duncan stood by the choices made—there was no visible blood, the autopsy was conclusive, and some things, he felt, just didn't require further testing. Lori pushed: is it possible for protein to be present even if blood isn't visible? Duncan acknowledged it could be, but stuck to his reasoning. The bat—allegedly wielded by Tylee—wasn't visibly bloody and had no damage. No blood, no Luminol. No DNA swabs either. Lori challenged him: if they had tested the bat and found Charles' DNA, wouldn't that corroborate Tylee's story? The prosecution objected, the judge sustained. But Lori kept hammering the same point—why didn't they look harder? Duncan explained that simply finding DNA on the bat wouldn't prove much. It belonged to Tylee, lived in the house, and anyone could have handled it. As for fingerprints? Inconclusive. Still, no tests. She dug into his knowledge of the Book of Mormon too—asking about Nephi, a figure she had previously invoked. Duncan admitted he hadn't read the book but had spoken to LDS members and done some Googling. Lori pushed again—there are four Nephis, she reminded him. She accused him of forming conclusions early and sticking to them, questioning whether his research was thorough or just conveniently limited. When asked who provided the core of the family context in his investigation, Duncan named Adam Cox—Lori's estranged brother. Lori highlighted that he hadn't interviewed her parents, her siblings, or even watched their interviews. Summer Cox was out of town, Duncan said. The others weren't at the scene. Lori wasn't buying it. She accused the investigation of being one-sided. Then there were the texts. So many texts. Messages between Lori and Chad Daybell, between Lori and Alex Cox, and between Lori and her niece, Melani. The language? Sometimes cryptic, sometimes romantic, sometimes just bizarre. Talk of "Zs"—supposedly dark spirits or zombies—and coded references to people being overtaken by evil. Melani was told not to go to Utah—it was “a setup.” Chad and Lori spoke in veiled terms about Social Security payments, forged documents, and divine missions. In the days after Charles Vallow was killed, Lori and Chad exchanged love notes, planned blessings, and fantasized about their new life together. A wedding followed just four months later, in Hawaii. The jury saw the photo: Chad and Lori, newlyweds on a beach, smiling. Meanwhile, the evidence paints a portrait of a tangled web—faith, manipulation, and a very mortal outcome. Through it all, Lori tried to flip the narrative. She emphasized how cooperative she had been with police, that she turned over Charles' phone willingly. But Duncan said he wasn't sure if Alex had done the same. His phone? It was never fully analyzed. The best they got were his call records from the carrier. The actual data? Gone. It was either a missed opportunity or an intentional blind spot, depending on which side of the courtroom you sit on. By late afternoon, both sides had nothing left to say. The prosecution stood by its evidence—volumes of it—arguing that Lori and Alex conspired to commit murder. Lori still insisted the state hadn't proved its case. But the judge saw it differently: he ruled there was enough for a jury to consider. Court adjourns tomorrow to finalize instructions. On Monday, the jury returns at 10:30 a.m. for closing arguments. Then, it's in their hands. #LoriVallowDaybell #TrueCrime #CharlesVallow #CourtroomDrama Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Episode 99 Lisa Shuttleworth    On September 3rd 2003, 34 year old mother Lisa Shuttleworth vanished from her Aiken, South Carolina home. Her kids came home to find themselves locked out of the house. In the driveway was her car which had broken down, and a car that she had borrowed until she could get hers fixed. When Lisa's mom arrived at the house and used a key to get in, there was no sign of Lisa. There was a pot of tea undisturbed on the stove, and there was no sign of a struggle. It appeared that Lisa had just stepped out and planned to return, but she never did. Police tracked her movements that day and determined that she when missing sometime between 11am, and when her son got off the bus that afternoon. A look back into Lisa's life found troubled relationships and a possible history of abuse. There was also a rumor that Lisa was pregnant, and according to Lisa's daughter Krystina who is our guest in this episode, Lisa had confided in her close friend that she was indeed pregnant. There were rumors that the father may have wanted Lisa to get an abortion, and unverified reports that he disposed of a new truck that he had soon after Lisa went missing; a truck that rumor has it, may have displayed signs of blood after Luminol was used on it. No charged have ever been brought in Lisa's case, and she remains missing to this day. Krystina discussed her mom's puzzling case, and the personal toll the disappearance has taken on her. At the time she vanished, Lisa was described as 5ft3 and weighing 102 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.  Anyone with information regarding Lisa's disappearance is asked to contact the Aiken County Sheriff's Office at 800-922-9709 To learn more about the case or follow on social media, be sure to visit Lisa's Facebook page.

Oxygen is activated quantum-mechanically in the body to act against bacterial infections. Professor Robert C Allen shows that the antibacterial action of oxygen can be monitored by measuring the light emitted as the immune system responds to pathogen attacks. He has developed techniques based on the use of chemiluminigenicmolecules which provide unprecedented insight into the neutrophil activity and afford powerful point of care diagnostic tools for immune system monitoring.

The key to understanding oxygen activation is the conversion of this molecule into a reactive singlet species within neutrophil cells in the blood. This process leads to light emission, which can be used to monitor in real time how the immune system functions.Based on over 40 years of research, Professor Robert C Allen proposes an exquisitely detailed model of how oxygen becomes an aggressive bactericidal agent in the body.

The courtroom was charged with emotion on day 17 of Chad Daybell's trial as FBI Special Agent Steve Daniels provided detailed testimony about the discovery of JJ Vallow's remains on Daybell's property. The testimony included descriptions of the efforts made to conceal the body, which visibly moved spectators, including JJ's grandfather, Larry Woodcock. As the trial unfolded in a packed courtroom, Agent Daniels faced a rigorous cross-examination from defense attorney John Prior, who pressed on the specifics of the search operations and the use of forensic tools like Luminol. Daniels admitted he needed to review his notes to recall specific details about the searches, acknowledging the vast number of investigations he has been involved in. The most heart-wrenching part of the testimony came when Daniels described uncovering JJ's remains, which were meticulously wrapped in plastic and duct tape.  “That's the point we knew these were human remains and those remains were JJ Vallow's," Daniels testified, noting how someone had taken the time to carefully cut through tree roots to bury the body. In an effort to shield the public from the more disturbing details, Judge Steven Boyce decided not to display certain graphic images in the courtroom or via livestream. Instead, these images were shown directly to the jurors on their monitors, ensuring the sensitive nature of the evidence was handled with care. Spectators in the courtroom rearranged their seating in anticipation of the graphic testimony, underscoring the gravity of the evidence being presented. The emotional toll was palpable as Larry Woodcock, JJ's grandfather, was seen wiping tears from his eyes during the testimony. As the trial progresses, the community remains gripped by the proceedings, which continue to unveil the tragic details surrounding the deaths associated with Chad Daybell. The trial is expected to continue with more key testimonies in the coming days, as both the defense and prosecution delve deeper into the complex and heartrending case.

Deep Sea Liner 2682 was coming back to port early. Nobody knew why - just that something very bad had happened at sea. The original plan was a group of 33 people would embark on a 2 year long deep sea fishing mission. But now they were coming back after just 8 months. What happened? When the giant vessel docked - concerned family, corporate employees of the fishing company, and even 11 police cars were lined up waiting for them. Police went on board escorting each one of the passengers off in handcuffs. Forensic teams in full hazmat suits rushed onto the boat and sprayed it down with Luminol. The whole boat was glowing. Blood. There was blood everywhere. 33 people on a ship in the deep sea for 8 months. 22 murdered and only 11 came back. And nobody wanted to talk about what really happened out at sea.   Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

There is no simple or easy way to say this, but we have come to the realization that the Luminol Podcast must come to an end.When we started Luminol, we didn't have a plan as to what would happen or an expectation as to how it would perform. We were (and are) blown away by what we created and put out into the world - and mostly because of your response to it! Luminol became an entity of its own - fostering community and highlighting cases that truly need to be shared. It evolved over time and we couldn't be more proud of it and also more proud of the amazing network it created with our listeners. We have appreciated every review, every comment, every download and listen - every moment with you. Why is Luminol ending? It's so important to us that we do every single case that we talk about justice - we don't have to tell you, but it's at the core of our research that we remember each and every case has a family behind it, friends behind it, police-forces, investigators, and entire teams of people around it. There are real people on the other side of these cases - so it's deeply important to us that we do our due diligence and try to find the most accurate information out there. This kind of research is time consuming - and we wouldn't change that, but now with the way our own personal lives are developing and growing, it's become impossible to dedicate that type of required research. It would be outside of our core values to share cases with the world that distract, misinform, or hurt any part of a case, a victim, and the people involved.We love you, we appreciate you, and we could go on and on about how much your support and dedication has meant to us over the years. So much love,Sarah, Caitlin, and MikeSupport the show

Aviso: este episódio contém descrições que podem dar a volta ao estômago dos mais sensíveis: vamos falar de cadáveres, insetos que adoram decomposição, cheiros nauseabundos. Mas tudo em prol da química forense.Se adora aqueles filmes ou séries em que há sempre uma equipa maravilha que, por mais arrevesado que seja o caso, consegue sempre descobrir o assassino através de espetaculares luzes azuis, fumos extraordinários ou microscópios que parecem ter vida própria, este episódio é para si. Nuno Maulide e Inês Lopes Gonçalves resolveram demonstrar que aquilo que aparece nos filmes de crimes é verdade: a química ajuda mesmo a resolver casos complicados. Prepare-se para perceber como a marca dos lábios, os dentes ou até a sola dos sapatos podem denunciar muita coisa. Prometemos-lhe que, a partir daqui, verá este género cinematográfico ainda com mais prazer (e talvez com maior grau de nojo).REFERÊNCIAS E LINKS ÚTEISLuminolImpressoes digitaisSobre Química ForenseRelação entre química forense e comunicação de CiênciaBIOSINÊS LOPES GONÇALVESÉ uma pessoa, função que acumula com as de radialista, locutora e apresentadora de televisão.

Jenny Villarin arbeitet in einer Bar als Kellnerin. Nach Schichtende holt ihr Freund Jim Gamble sie eines Abends ab und sie gehen gemeinsam nach Hause. In derselben Nacht meldet ein Anwohner Schüsse. Die Einsatzkräfte finden daraufhin zwei Tote in einer Wohnung hinter einer Garage- es handelt sich bei den Toten um Jenny Villlarin und Jim Gamble. Der Mord sorgt in dem kleinen kalifornischen Ort Woodacre für Entsetzen und die Polizei stellt während ihrer Ermittlungen fest, dass auch die Tochter des Opfers verschwunden ist. Die Ermittlungen führen zu einem Sektenguru mit Gotteskomplex und münden in einem Netz aus Erpressung, Diebstahl und Mord im Namen Gottes. *** Luminol & Blutspuren: https://www.investikat-iv.de/von-wegen-wisch-und-weg-blutspuren/ *** Mehr Infos zu unserem Podcast auf: www.tlc.de/podcast *** Gerne könnt ihr mit uns auch über unsere TLC Social-Media-Accounts diskutieren.

We discuss Ed's transition back into society, and how he eventually succumbs to temptation and becomes the Co-Ed Killer we know today. Wrapping up, we give you an update on Ed's current status and how he changed the world of criminal profiling. In our first episode we also introduce ourselves and give you a brief explanation of how Liquor and Luminol was born.

None of the evidence was conclusive, but none offered grounds for exoneration.   Other evidence, such as inadmissible Luminol testing and a blood-spattered pendant discovered too late to be entered into evidence, didn't make it to the courtrooms for various reasons.   The killers did not leave a great number of forensic clues.  Because of submersion in water,  no fingerprints were found of anyone, including the victims. Similarly, clothing items tested negative for traces of blood. Virtually all of the DNA recovered and tested matched the boys.  Several imprints from tennis shoes were found, but none matched the killers and may have been left by searchers or others walking through the woods.   By the time the bodies were found, a number of searchers had been over the woods, where the gumbo soil  was muddy from several inches of rain earlier in the week.   The crime scene itself had been cleaned up, with the banks washed and smoothed over.   The killers had gone to great lengths to obscure the location of the bodies, which were found only when a boy's tennis shoe (a Scout cap in some versions of the story; two shoes, according to Allen's testimony in the Misskelley trial) was spotted floating in the water. The West Memphis case has been influenced by the “CSI effect,” in which the public has come to expect a higher level of forensic evidence than often exists at crime scenes.  As a corollary to the effect, the value of circumstantial evidence has been discounted.  Television shows focusing on DNA and other forensics in investigations necessarily rely on such evidence to figure into the plot. Consequently the public is largely unaware that DNA from killers is found in a relatively small fraction of all murders, with latent fingerprints or any kind of biological trace found in much fewer than half of cases. Further contributing to the relative lack of forensic evidence in the West Memphis case were the cleanup at the scene, the submersion of the bodies in dirty water over an extended time and their exposure to heat and insects in the open air for about an hour, contamination by search efforts and subsequent recovery of the bodies, etc.   As a result, for example, two samples of apparent bodily tissues found in the ligatures of the shoelace bindings on Christopher and Michael were too small and degraded to yield DNA results.  “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” the prototype of the forensics-based crime shows, premiered in October 2000, so the series and its many offshoots and imitators would have had no effect on the original juries.  Even the O.J. Simpson murder case in 1994-1995, the breakthrough case for public awareness of DNA testing, followed the WM3 trials. Even so, forensic science played a role in perceptions about the case from the beginnings.  The initial “Paradise Lost” film, while leaving out much about evidence against the killers, included the strange episode of a knife that Mark Byers gave one of the “Paradise Lost” cameramen as a gesture of goodwill.  Remnants of blood were found in the knife. Testing revealed the blood could have been a match for either Byers or his stepson — an example of the ambiguous results often obtained from DNA testing.  Byers had told police, “I don't have any idea how it could be on there.” Byers ended up giving testimony during the defense portion of the Echols/Baldwin trial about his fold-back Kershaw knife.   Byers testified he could not say for sure that Christopher had never played with the knife.  He testified he had used it to trim his toenails.  He recalled cutting his thumb with the knife while trimming venison for Thanksgiving 1993. During a Jan. 26, 1994, interview, he told Chief Inspector Gitchell that he had not used the knife at all but had said he had used it to cut venison.  He also told Gitchell he might have used it to trim his fingernails.  He told Gitchell he did not remember cutting himself with the knife but recalled during testimony that he cut his thumb. The inconsistencies were mostly the consequences of not answering questions carefully, along with an apparent slip of the memory about cutting his thumb.  Much of the second film, produced in 2000,  again focused on Byers, with a new angle in supposed bite marks, implying that Byers left the imprint of his teeth in the face of Stevie Branch.  Byers had had his teeth pulled since the murders, a commonplace necessity framed as suspicious.  A check of the supposed bite mark against his dental records found no match;  the state's medical examiners thought the mark may have left by a belt buckle.  The mark also could have been left by a blow from the end of a survival knife such as the “lake knife,”  a type of knife commonly carried by Echols. Though long viewed by adamant “supporters” as the primary alternative suspect, with much of the “Devil's Knot” book casting suspicion, Byers' place as the imagined “real killer” has been supplanted by Terry Hobbs.  All that was required for the change was  DNA in a single hair that might have come from Hobbs found in one of the boys' shoelaces.   Stevie's stepfather has acknowledged that the hair could be his, with the commonsense explanation that his stepson or one of the other boys could have picked up the hair during Hobbs' interactions with the kids.  That possible DNA match quickly took the heat off Byers and set 2011's “Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory” and  2012's “West of Memphis” on the scent of Hobbs.   Coupled with a dearth of ironclad DNA evidence linking Echols, Misskelley and Baldwin to the crimes, that hair has been the slender thread holding together the case against Hobbs. On the other hand, the considerable circumstantial evidence against Echols has been ignored, with an increasing focus on the supposed lack of physical evidence.  One of the most telling pieces of evidence has been routinely discounted or explained away.  In his May 10 report, Ridge noted about a statement from Echols: “Steve Jones told that testicles had been cut off and someone had urinated in mouths and the bodies had been placed in water to flush out.” Gitchell did not find out until May 16 that urine was present in the stomachs of two victims. Jones could not have revealed that information to Echols because he did not have that information; only a killer would have known about the urine.   The urine finding was one of the mostly closely held secrets in the investigation, with references to the stomach liquids deliberately obscured in written communications between Little Rock and West Memphis.  Gitchell had been informed of the findings over the phone, with no mention of the urine in autopsy documentation received long after Echols' May 10 revelations.   Further clouding most of the evidence are media misrepresentations, the cult of victimhood surrounding the killers and second and third opinions disputing original investigative findings.  Experts hired by the defense even claimed the mutilations were the result of animal predators, particularly snapping turtles, though Christopher bled to death before being placed in the water.  While it is possible, even likely, that small fish or turtles left superficial wounds,  it is not possible that a team of highly trained snapping turtles killed Chris.   The ditch was drained immediately after the bodies were found; there were no snapping turtles.   Stains found on one of the boys' jeans were analyzed by Genetic Design.  Michael DeGuglielmo,  the DNA  testing company's director of forensic analysis, testified they were able to recover a small amount of DNA.      DeGuglielmo said the sample was most likely sperm cells, though he could not confirm that. Misskelley in his later confessions described Echols masturbating over the body of a victim and wiping his penis on the boy's pants.  There has been no other explanation offered for how sperm wound up on jeans owned by a prepubescent boy.    Some fibers retrieved from the scene were found to be microscopically similar to items taken as evidence from the Baldwin and Echols homes.  Green fibers found on a pair of blue jeans and on Michael's Cub Scout hat were microscopically similar to fibers found in a shirt from the Echols home.  One polyester fiber was found on the hat. The fiber found on the pants was cotton and polyester.  The shirt from the Echols home was a child's shirt.  Lisa Sakevicius, a criminalist with the state crime laboratory,  testified that the presence of the fibers suggested a secondary transfer, as the blue size 6 Garanimals shirt, which belonged to Echols' half-brother Tim Hutchison, was much too small for Echols.  In an “O.J.” style tactic, defense attorney Val Price asked Echols to attempt to put on the shirt, which he was not able to do. Three red cotton fibers similar to those found in another  T-shirt from the Echols home were recovered from Michael's Scout shirt, a pair of blue pants and a bag of items found at the crime scene. The fibers were also a match for a red shirt found at Michael's home. Items from the bag recovered from a pipe, where it had been either discarded or cached near the crime scene,  included a pair of Jordache size 33-34 blue jeans, a black medium-size thermal undershirt, a pair of white socks, two Bic razors, a plastic bag and a tan short sleeve shirt.  The items were wet and moldy.   There was no clear evidence linking the bag and its contents to the crime, other than its presence. Despite a similar red thread potentially linking Michael, Echols and the bag,  investigators were not able to establish a positive link.  The bag was from Road Runner Petro, where Echols's father was employed and that shared parking space with Alderson Roofing & Metal. Echols told police he worked as a roofer for Anderson. The businesses were not near the crime scene.  A red Rayon fiber matched a bathrobe owned by Baldwin's mother. That fiber was found on a black and white polka dot shirt, which, like the blue pants, was found turned inside out. Sakevicius again suggested secondary transfer, and later explained that such transferences commonly occur when clothes are washed together.  The polka dot shirt worn by Stevie was the source of residue of blue wax similar to candle wax.  A small blue candle was found on a table in Domini Teer's bedroom, and similar wax was found on a witchcraft book, “Never on a Broomstick,” from Echols' bedroom.  Similar wax was also found in a bar of soap from the Baldwin bathroom. Jurors cited the wax as evidence against Echols. Candles are routinely used in occult ceremonies. Sakevicius also testified that submersion in water was “very detrimental” to the recovery of trace evidence.  Sakevicius testified that a Negroid hair had been recovered from the sheet covering Christopher.  The presence of that hair was never explained.  One obvious and irresistible theory attributed the hair to “Mr. Bojangles,” the bleeding black man who commandeered the restroom of a local restaurant shortly after the probable time of the killings.  The hair could have been from a police officer or other searcher, but no hairs from officers were submitted for comparison. Bolstering the idea that more than one assailant was involved were the varying knots used on the shoelaces  to tie arms to legs. The text used by local witches, “Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft,” contained a section on knot magic and how knots were used to bind magical spells. The magic number for knots was nine. Michael, Stevie and Christopher were tied with eight, 10 and four knots respectively.     The knots used on Michael: Square knot on the left wrist and ankle, three half hitches on the right wrist, four half hitches on the right ankle. Only one shoestring was used to bind Michael, by contrast with both shoelaces used on the other boys, in another deviation in the patterns of bindings. In a later confession,  Misskelley described helping pull shoestrings from the shoes; his involvement would explain not only the single strand but the variance in knots used to bind Michael.  The knots used on Stevie Branch:  three half hitches on both the left ankle and left wrist, three half hitches with the loop tied twice around the right leg, half hitch with figure eight on the right wrist.  On Chris Byers:  double half hitches on all four knots. The knots used were square knots, half hitches and double half hitches, with one knot being looped twice and a figure eight thrown on top of a half hitch —- at least three different knots, suggesting that three people tied up the boys.  It is extremely unlikely that one person would have used three different knots to tie up the boys, particularly in a high-stress situation such as a murder scene. The forensic evidence showed that Chris and Stevie struggled against their bindings, while Michael, with deep and traumatic wounds to the head, had no such signs of struggle.   Michael also showed few if any signs of sexual molestation, fitting with Misskelley's description of a quick, violent pounding of the face and head but subsequent protection from further predation by Baldwin and Echols.  A pagan “ax” necklace belonging to Echols was discovered to be speckled with blood from two DNA sources as the Echols/Baldwin trial neared the end. The prosecution had already rested its case when questions arose about the blood spots.  The prosecution weighed the implications of entering the necklace as trial evidence. Judge David Burnett made it clear that the prosecution would be dealing with “two basic remedies, either a mistrial or  a continuance.” At the least,  the new evidence would have resulted in a continuance while the defense was allowed to examine the evidence.   Besides the possibility of a mistrial, prosecutors were concerned that it could result in a possible severance of the Echols and Baldwin cases.   One DNA source was compatible with Echols, while the second was compatible with both Stevie and Baldwin.  The prosecution was prepared to argue that Stevie was the source, seeing little benefit from arguing for a match with Baldwin.   The necklace, taken from Echols at the time of his arrest, prompted a hearing on March 17, 1994, out of the presence of the jury, while the case was on continuance as the result of the discovery.    Prosecuting Attorney Brent Davis explained to Judge Burnett that “questionable” red spots had been found as Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John Fogleman and some police officers were reviewing evidence. Fogleman first noticed the spots.  A deleted scene from “Paradise Lost” footage available on DVD and YouTube showed a meeting between Fogleman and the Baldwin attorneys concerning the necklace.  Though marked by jovial banter, the conference illuminated the difficulties posed by the “blood necklace” for both defense and prosecution.  The necklace had been sent to the crime lab, where the red spots were discovered to be blood, and then was sent to Genetic Design in North Carolina. The prosecution learned late on the afternoon of March 15, just as preparations for closing arguments were under way, about the two DNA sources. The lab attempted an “amplification process” to further differentiate the DNA, which was successful on the larger sample from Echols, to not much effect, but was unsuccessful on differentiating Baldwin and Stevie.  The prosecution learned of that in late afternoon on the 16th.  The prosecution hoped to present to the jury the DQ-Alpha match with Stevie Branch, consistent with about 11 percent of the white population.  Because Baldwin was also a match, Echols attorney Val Price explained in a court conference: “Part of our defense in this matter would be that sometime during the time period approximately a month or two before the arrest that besides my client having access to this pendant that also Jason Baldwin had access to this pendant. If that is indeed Jason Baldwin's blood on this pendant and not Stevie Branch's then this evidence is of no value at all and not relevant, it should be excluded and not considered by the jury at all.”   Baldwin attorney Paul Ford argued that the evidence should apply to Echols alone since he wore the necklace and presumably there could be no proof of a link to Baldwin.   Prosecutor Davis said his understanding was that a mistrial for Baldwin would result from entering the necklace into evidence but the case could proceed against Echols. Without a counter-ruling,  Davis did not plan to enter the new evidence. Judge Burnett pointed out that among the potential complications was that Echols and Baldwin could cross-implicate each other, rather than engage in a common defense, if the necklace was introduced.  Because the matches were so common,  the blood spots could not have been definitively linked to either Baldwin or Stevie. The spots did raise the question of why Echols' necklace would be splattered by two or more sources of blood.   Years later, Baldwin testified, “The necklace that had been acquired by Damien Echols at the time of his arrest was one that I believe my girlfriend Heather had given me.  … I don't recall specifically how the necklace had come into Echols' possession.” As with all things in the West Memphis 3 case, facts about the necklace were disputed.   Echols had more than one necklace: Ridge noted in his May 10 report that “Damien was wearing a necklace that he claimed that he had just bought at the Mall of Memphis on the Saturday before the interview. The necklace had a pentagram as a pendant that Damien explained meant some type of good symbol for the Wicca magic that he was in.” The blood-spattered pendant was a tiny axe, not a pentagram.  Echols had the axe pendant before the trip to the mall on May 8. Echols routinely wore this necklace. For example, Echols was filmed wearing the necklace at Skateland on May 7, two days after the killings.   He continued to wear the axe pendant after purchasing the pentagram pendant. He was photographed wearing the axe necklace on May 9.  Because testing used up the original sample, retesting was not possible,  giving the defense another possible objection since they would not be able to order tests.  A blood stain found on a shirt gathered as evidence at the Misskelley home similarly showed a possible match for both Misskelley and Michael.  The HLA-DQ alleles had an expected frequency of 7.9 percent in the general population.   Misskelley said he gotten the blood on the T-shirt by throwing a Coke bottle into the air and smashing it with his fist, showing off his toughness.    The shirt was not entered into evidence at trial.    Besides the hair  commonly linked to Hobbs and the Negroid hair, about four other hairs from the site were determined not to have originated with the victims. Because the DNA sampling from Hobbs was obtained by stealth via three discarded cigarette butts and a Q-tip,  resulting in three variances after DNA testing, the link between Hobbs and the hair was even more questionable.   Another hair found in a tree trunk was a near-match for David Jacoby, a friend of Hobbs.  There was no conclusive evidence that Jacoby was the source, that the hair dated from the time of the crime or that Jacoby or someone else did not leave a hair during the search.  Jacoby said he was not in the area, but his memory was spotty.  Other hair included a dyed hair recovered from the sheet used to cover Stevie, a hair recovered from the Cub Scout cap and a hair from beneath Chris' ligature.  It's possible, given the imperfections of the testing procedures, that the same person was the source of all three hairs. There was no DNA testing on a number of items from the site, including other hair and tissues.  Among the many misconceptions about the case is that no blood was found.  Since Stevie and Chris bled extensively —- Chris bled to death —  the seeming lack of blood generated theories that the crime scene was a dump site, that the boys had been stashed down a manhole before being placed in the water, etc.   Blood was spotted in the water after the initial discovery but the site, which had been washed down, seemed surprisingly clean.  Subsequent testing with Luminol revealed areas where blood had been spilled.   There was little testimony about blood. The jury did not hear the results of Luminol testing.  Since such testing was not considered valid as evidence, the defense teams successfully sought motions to suppress Luminol results. Kermit Channel and Donald Smith of the Arkansas crime lab, in the company of Mike Allen and Bryn Ridge, spent two days studying the effects of spraying Luminol, working in the dark, running a black light over the sprayed area to pick up glowing traces of iron in blood residue.  Testing May 12 yielded traces of blood on both sides of a tree near the ditch bank with more blood on the right side of the tree, facing the stream bed; in the areas where the bodies were placed;  in a concentrated area on the east side of the ditch in a pile of sticks and a depressed area in the soil,  and  in a large area of concentration near tree roots. Other traces were visible where the victims were placed on the bank.  The areas with the pile of sticks and the tree roots  were cited as likely locations of attack.  “There were no visible signs or indication of blood at any of the locations we investigated,” their report said. The testing was begun a full week after the bodies were found. It had rained at least once. The testing was in less than optimal conditions as any light sources, such as stars and ambient light, compromised results. Some evidence would have been compromised in the search, recovery and investigation, the report noted, citing numerous reasons why investigators were unable to document findings with photographs.   Nonetheless, “It is our opinion the crime had taken place where the bodies of the victims were recovered.” On May 13, with tenting using plastic over canvas, Luminol was freshly applied, and a “less than perfect” photograph became possible.  “These photographs still documented the areas of interest, showing luminol reaction in respective areas,” reported Smith. Soil samples were taken May 14; tested four months later, no Luminol reaction was noted, a result considered inconclusive given the age of the sample. At the time of the Luminol report, investigators did not have the Misskelley confession.  His descriptions of the attacks accord with the blood evidence. A tree near the crime scene had the initials “ME” carved into it. Echols was sometimes known as “Michael Echols”; while in Oregon, he went by “Michael,” and was in the process of changing his name to Michael Damien Wayne Hutchison.  His family called him “Michael.”    Much of the second-guessing of investigative findings by defense “experts” began with the hiring of Brent Turvey of Knowledge Solutions LLC  in 1998, as Misskelley attorney Dan Stidham sought a new trial and as the second “Paradise Lost” was filming.  In his book, “The Unknown Darkness: Profiling the Predators Among Us,”  former FBI profiler Gregg O. McCrary characterized Turvey as a “self-proclaimed profiler.”   McCrary wrote: “Not only has Turvey never completed any recognized training programs, such as those run by the BFI or the International Criminal Investigative Fellowship (ICIAF), he doesn't even have the basic qualifications to apply for those programs. As a matter of fact, he has never even completed even a basic policy academy training program anywhere.  He had, however, authored a flawed textbook on ‘profiling.'”  Turvey,  working pro bono, examined photos of the bodies and other evidence and determined that the ditch was a dump site. He claimed at least four crime sites: abduction site, attack site, dump site and the vehicle used to transport the bodies, based on his contention that the attack would have required light, time and privacy.   He based this claim on darkness in the woods, lack of blood and the screaming of the boys.  (The attack occurred before sunset in woods well away from any homes and in an irrigation ditch depression that would have muffled sound. The crime scene was not far from busy interstates and service roads. Echols told police how background noise obscured the screaming.  The boys were quickly subdued and gagged.) Turvey also formulated the “bite marks” theory featured in “Revelations: Paradise Lost 2,” continuing to fuel baseless suspicions about Mark Byers.  Despite how Turvey was presented in the film, he testified he was not an expert on human bite marks. The “new evidence” uncritically presented in the movie consisted of no evidence. The huge amounts of money pouring into the defense fund  — estimated between $10 million and $20 million  — yielded nothing of value. The fibers from the crime scene matching items from the killers' homes, Echols' statement about urine in the stomachs, the blood necklace, the knots used on the shoelace bindings, the semen stain on the pants, blood traces matching Misskelley's descriptions of the attack and blue wax residue all pointed to the West Memphis 3.

We take a shallow dive into deep topics. This week the guys discuss the OJ trial. DJ tries to convince Woody and George on an alternative theory. Did Jason Simpson pull off the double murder? Was the glove planted? Why on earth would Woody's car glow like the mid-day sun under luminol and a black light? Find out on this week's episode of The ShufflePod!
