The autopsy:
(1:26) Well, let me say, the little girl is found
There is a rope around her neck, interestingly, the,
underneath the rope is the, the sweater, jersey that she's wearing so .....
And the rope around the right wrist, also has the jersey underneath it
So think about that. In otherwords, no marks. right?,
are going to be left with the ropes.
blood loss:
(2:27) 7cc, that is less, less than 1 1/2 teaspoons.
(3:24) That's just seepage.
bradycardia:
(5:15) The little girl died from a vagal reflex caused by pressure
of the rope around her neck.
And now, when she could not be resuscitated.
she could not be brought back to life,
that is when the blow was inflicted.
External genitalia:
(6:15) well guess what? The injuries are for the most part old.
They're chronic.
A good part of the hymen is, is absent, and that's an old, old phenomenon
It's been there for a while.
Then the pathologist reports, and I'm taking it right from the
autopsy report.
He reports, superficial erosion of the vaginal mucosa, that's the lining,
the delicate lining of the vaginal canal, at the 7 o'clock position,
and that's been there for a while.
That's not acute.
And then he finds microscopically, chronic inflamation, under the microscope.
That means it's been there for days,
and could be longer than days, but it's not fresh.
And then he finds also birefringent
material under polarized light.
What that means is that you put a blue prism
in your microscope, and you'll see something that you won't see,
with a regular microscopic light.
And you know what the most common source of birefringent
material is in your home and mine? Talcum powder.
