it was probably carried in on someones shoe or in their pant cuff.

Fascinating. A crime scene that collects evidence.

Next time I'm out I'll ask my local cop "how many rim-fire .22 casings do you have in you trouser cuff ?"

But Damon put up a gate to keep people out, didn't he? Was this before or after he decided that the LE had enough evidence out of his house? And if there were sparkly things all over the floor, why weren't any tracked or traced anywhere? Ok, enough. I sure hope at least one juror has some questions like we do!

This is one of the items about this case that fascinates me about as much as it appalls me. A young woman is gone,foul play is suspected,if not yet established,and there's a spent cartridge casing on the floor. But according to the investigators,"It doesn't mean anything."

FWIW,did the VanDam couple have any firearms in the house? They don't strike me as being the type that goes in for having a bunch of hardware around the house.

Not only that, but the .22 casing that was in the police 'evidence' lockup, was checked out (taken out of evidence) by an 'unknown, didn't even sign for it' person, and then returned later.
