He's on CCTV at the prison doing maintenance work. In interview with staties, he says that the tool bucket he uses had gone missing the day before the murder. Police reviewed CCTV footage and saw that the bucket fell out of the back of a truck after KIM unloaded some bedframes. perps on footage grabbing the tools right before killing.

From Session 4:

VELASQUEZ: "what would they have done if the tools weren't there?"

Forensic Analysis

From Session 4:

VELASQUEZ: brings us the hits on the weapon (screwdriver) fingerprints:

prints from all three individuals, but only one shows up in the database:. ELLE GABLE, presumably the woman.

From Session 4:

• MO checks the weapons for blood, it's all human blood, it's all from the victim. microscopes it. nothing unusual. Jars some for later.
• further testing:
  • high stress, def taking high doses of mental health medication.
  • nothing's weird about the blood, so it's ok to allow the cops to analyze these weapons.
