1) I would like to know if Perper could tell from hair or wherever that ANS had used chloral hydrate before this. Was this a new drug KE and HKS just introduced which had this fatal interaction with all of her other drugs? I think it is so suspicious if this was the first time she was using CH, don't you?
2)Also, did Perper say they found the CH on a second pass at investigating the tissue? It sounds like it was something that dissipated very quickly and could have been missed without a thorough investigation (how convenient). Was Daniel's tissue ever examined for CH?
3)I think Perper said she died shorly before she was found, is that right? How could she have died only shortly before she was found if her jaw was already stiff and her face already purple with lividity?
But in my opinion:
Perperhead is a useless bump on a log.
Q 2: Chloral Hydrate, in a normal dose disappates in the system in 4 minutes. For that reason it was not found in the blood, but was found later only in the bile.
I can answer #3. He said she was found dead at the hotel and pronounced dead 'some time later'.
Q 1: I believe he said that it was not a brand new script, some had been used, but was not something she had been on previously. Apparently she was using it, because he said other things she'd tried for sleep didn't work.
But if you ask me, just about every question he answered by the reporters sounded exactly as if HKS and KE had written the script for him.
