Crime Scene Indicators:
Victim 2
The body had
been discovered by a farmer at 7:45 A.M. on the way to feed his horse. The
crime scene was located off a back road that ran along the town of Times Beach,
which had been sealed off and evacuated due to dioxin contamination, therefore
offering a solitary location with little traffic.
Sean’s body was
beside a gate framed by two stone pillars leading to a pasture. He was lying on
his back with his head pointing north, his feet pointing south, and both arms parallel
alongside the body. He was dressed in brown corduroy pants, a cream-colored
V-neck short-sleeved sweater, and blue tennis shoes. A search of the pockets revealed
no personal effects and no means of identification.
There were two
entrance wounds to the back of the head and one apparent exit wound under the
left eye. The body was still warm to touch. Liver temperature was ninety-five
degrees. Air temperature was thirty-eight to forty degrees.
Sean was identified
by fingerprints in the county file. He had been stopped for a traffic misdemeanor
a year earlier.
