I heard a knife.
Wasn’t he holding a knife as he walked around the front of the car and reached inside the open door? Could he have been “dumping” the weapon and that’s why it was found on the floor? There was a picture here yesterday with him holding it close to his belly.
Not just any old knife. It was not a steak knife or a kitchen knife, it was a murder knife shaped like a velociraptor claw. A knife designed to slash throats or disembowel.
