A woman is found beaten to death IN HER BEDROOM (for emphasis) and yet no sexual assault test? Wonder how long it takes to do one? Maybe it's just too expensive? Maybe LE already knew the name of the killer?
Hmmmm. I think someone already regrets that decision.

This is a pretty brazen comment by me - nothing personal, OK?
By the time the autopsy was underway, the forensic team were well into gathering evidence, and whatever criminologist works with the county was working to put 2 + 2 together. Sheriff Harrison was poking around too, and think he had a keen eye for what had happened in that room at the time of the murder.
These guys all do their individual jobs, but they chit chat between themselves, trying to get a handle on what they need to do, and what else do they need to address, looking at everything as a whole.
What IF there was so many factors involved that said the same thing - the husband is the best candidate to have perpetrated this crime, that common sense took over and when the head investigator talked to the ME, and it was deemed unnecessary to do a rape test on the victim.
Heck, she was killed with a viscious rage, not by a serial killer, not by someone wanting to rob the house and she caught him {her purse was on the kitchen counter}, not by the mob as a payback for something {wrong way to kill}, etc.
The fact has to be addressed that if she presented such a threat to her husband in some way we are not privledged to know about yet, why would he seek sexual release combined with the anger in his heart and mind, which was enough to eliminate or as they said on TV, annyalate her from existance? That is what we would expect a psycopath to do, a predator. That doesn't add up, and I am just a lowly but studied poster to say that.
So Jake, now that I have had the guts to speak like this, is this something that was found after LE left and before the cleaning crew came in, have anything to do with this new alert that LE might have had it wrong, and she might have been sexually abused at the time of her murder? If it was and it told a sexual tale, it would have to be a condum.
Frankly, since he lived there and we have to assume they did have a sexual relationship {after all she was pregnant}, that condum, if that's what was found, could have been even 1 day older than the crime scene. I think the ME and LE would discount it as evidence for that reason alone, esp for having been turned in 6 mos after the actual murder! And there would be no justification either for the defense to use it as a tool for their benefit.
I don't know what else could have been found that qualifies as alluding to 'sexual' activity, but I think most usually married people have the enjoyment of not having to use these things.
