"I'd like to start with a summary of where we are with this case so that we’re all on the same page," Van Bruggin remarked. "From there, I would like Dr. Quint and her team to share what they have researched in regards to this case. I feel as though they are chasing some longshots here, but given my experience in the role of detective, I sense there is substance to those longshots. Let’s start with my team first. Please summarize all evidence that we have found both on the golf course and at Helen's house. Be sure to specify whether the results are back, and if they're not, when they're expected back.”

One by one, the detective team described their evidence, as well as the theories they were pursuing in regards to the results of that evidence. It was pretty much what Jill expected with a few caveats. They had confirmed the bullet caliber for Doug’s death. The door knobs at Helen's house were wiped clean. It was a clue that would connect Helen's unconsciousness to an intruder in the house. A person about to commit suicide does not go around and wipe all the door knobs clean of fingerprints.

There were no findings in the autopsy that presented any surprise to Jill. Dr. Easley died from a bullet shot to the brain and she was pretty certain she would have arrived at the same cause of death. In the case of Helen, the initial toxicology screens were completed and Helen had no illicit drug or alcohol in her bloodstream. She also lacked several prescription drugs rumored on the internet to be great suicide drugs. There were a few drug tests outstanding as well as an analysis of her stomach contents.

The crime scene techs had also collected a lot of evidence from Helen's house. While they had found the door knobs to be wiped clean, there were fingerprints elsewhere in the house that they were analyzing. They had also done swabs of glassware and items in the garbage looking for something that shouldn't have been there. They debated whether to use goggles to examine her skin for puncture wounds, but thanks to the great emergency care that she had received, she was full of puncture wounds for IVs and blood draws. In summary, they seem to have no new clues amongst the physical evidence found at both scenes.

Next they discussed who they had researched as far as suspects. Using a variety of their computer systems sources, they were able to verify Michelle's alibi at the time of the shooting. Those sources also provided data on her interior design firm and there were no red flags there. From there they moved on to Doug's anesthesia firm and again the firm seemed to be financially sound.

Jo took the opportunity to speak up, “Would you mind sharing those documents with me? I'm a CPA and I am usually really quick at analyzing documents like tax returns.”

The law enforcement team looked nonplussed. It was simply a question that had never been asked of them before.
