Well, not entirely, though the tracking of the inanimate object should be as evidence, not as though it was a demon-possessed fetish object with its own soul and mind.
A decade or so back I became aware of a fella who tracked the distribution chain of the narcotics that had eventually reached his daughter and killed her, and the odd circumstances of the fates of those who'd handled it along the way. Just a coincidence, I'm sure, since those folks followed a dangerous trade that put them at risk from all sorts of potential competitors, though the weapon used wasn't one that is generally been heard of as being popular in that line.
Maybe someday I might tell that story...after he's passed on, and neither the family members of the narcotrafficantes nor their hired associates, some of them serving in fairly high-ranking US governmental positions, would be in a position to retaliate. Whatever final reward he may find I expect will not be shared by those more likely headed for warmer spots.
