Chapter Thirteen

Since he wasn’t quite sure what to do with these teacher planning days, Keegan spent most of the morning in the lab at the sheriff’s station wrapping up some of the minor cases he’d handled over the last few months. He looked through the microscopes at several prepared slides he’d received from autopsies and various departments.

He compared two sets of slides and noted the differences in his report. Then he typed in his conclusions. In his analytical forensic opinion, the fibers on the slides collected from the victim’s jeans during the rape examination at the Shore Breeze Clinic matched the fibers from the trunk of the suspect’s car. From the consistency of the dye, the weave and make-up of the cloth, the fibers weren’t from a different make or model car. He punched in a few numbers into a mathematical formula and came up with an accurate match. No one could dispute the evidence in court. Not when he included the additional report about the debris the examiner had found inside the rolled-up jeans cuff that matched the composition of the dirt from the trunk and back tire tread. There was also a complete match in the suspect’s DNA to the semen sample taken from the victim during the rape exam. In his forensic conclusion, the suspect, a college student from Pensacola, attacked and raped the victim on the beach south of the Shore Breeze Dock and Marina.

Keegan always found it amazing how such tiny pieces of inconsequential items could bring all the puzzle pieces of a crime together. These were the times Keegan loved what he did.

Once he finished, he repacked the evidence in their bags and the case box. He completed the tags on each bag and box to keep the chain of custody intact. Without the simple paper trail showing the detailed chronological timeline of every physical or electronic piece of evidence, a defense attorney could rip apart a case in seconds. He printed and signed everything, added the final reports to the file then placed it in the box. After securing the lid and signing the broken seal for reference, he carried it to the detective in charge of the case. He had another officer witness the receipt of the box before he returned to the lab.

With a whistle to himself at how he’d solidified a case against a rapist, he returned his attention to analyzing new samples and information regarding the case of the Samuel Ashford attempted poisoning. There still wasn’t much, but he hoped the DA could secure the conviction of the suspect. Only a cowardly bastard would use something like a person’s allergic reaction to do all of his dirty work.

Wrapping up those projects, he drove to the school and attended a meeting with the other science teachers for the upcoming semesters. He took notes and tried to keep his attention where it was needed, but meetings were another level of Hell. When it finished, he gathered his things to leave with the others.
