1st Site inspection
Wardrobe with doors.
In the area underneath there are numerous traces of blood present. Inside the wardrobe there are clothes on the shelves.
2nd Site inspection
Wardrobe with doors removed.
No clothes inside the wardrobe. Note the presence of a pillow on which there are numerous blood traces present.
1st Site inspection
The bed: On the mattress there is a towel with a blood stain and an open handbag.
2nd Site inspection
The bed is without the mattress. On the wooden supports of the bed there is a pile of clothes (underwear, sweaters, outfits, shirts).
IT’S NOT KNOWN WHO THEY BELONG TO
1st Site inspection
Inside of the wardrobe: shoes and blood traces
2nd Site inspection
The shoes have been removed from the wardrobe and piled up near the bed together with the clothes.
1st Site inspection
Blood traces underneath the desk (2 drops of blood).
Particularly relevant: There is no presence of the piece of cloth with the clasp,
belonging to the victim’s bra, found and collected during the second site inspection.
2nd Site inspection
On the desk the objects present are completely different to those found in the first site inspection.
Also beneath the desk the area has been tampered with.
1st Site inspection
Books on the shelf of the desk.
2nd Site inspection
On the desk there is also a rucksack with blood traces which was collected from the floor, next to the victim’s duvet.
It is photographed, labeled, but is not collected. It is only collected during the third site inspection (13 March 2008).
1st Site inspection
Here is the famous mat.
2nd Site inspection
Here is the desk, with the mat but not on its own, before the discovery of the bra clasp.
2nd Site inspection
Here is the desk, with the mat but not on its own, before the discovery of the bra clasp.
During the second site inspection, the piece of bra is found again underneath the mat,
who knows how it slid under the desk, but we’ll discuss this in a chapter all of itself.
KITCHEN – LIVING ROOM
1st Site inspection
Table almost tidy. The bench is in one piece.
2nd Site inspection
The bench is broken, the table in clear disorder.
There’s even a cushion and, what’s really outrageous, there is a box of disposable latex gloves.
Two gloves are out of the box, so already contaminated.
Here they are:
Still in the 2nd Site inspection, on the sofa, in the living room, Meredith’s mattress, how did it get there?
LOOK, it was all photographed.
The mattress together with the mattress cover is DRAGGED along the floor of Meredith’s bedroom to the sofa, into the living room.
