The victim's face was swollen, consistent with injuries suffered from a beating with an unknown weapon. The official cause of death was ruled as blunt force trauma to the head. He also suffered injuries to the neck and rib areas of the body. An autopsy indicated McLean had been drinking heavily, but it wasnt sure how if at all that played into the incident...
As police investigated, this is what they know. McLean went to a friends house nearby. They were drinking. Through a window, McLean saw a group of girls and he wanted to go try to talk to them, said Capt. M. Scott Waters. He was up and through the door before the friend even realized he was gone. Thats the last time he was seen, Waters said...
That was around 10 p.m., which leaves much to the imagination until McLeans body was discovered two hours later. One theory is that McLean followed the group of women to a home, where a man became upset with McLeans presence. From the original investigation, police said, there was at least one other person at the home that night where the man was reported to be mad at McLean. That person hasnt come forward as a witness.
