No, and this was mega confusing at the time. The CSI sergeant Fitzgerald was asked to run an eTrace on the gun found “at the body site location.” We would all think he meant “by her body”, right? But no. Through sources and also through the press release MPD put out for the three -year anniversary, the gun was Missy’s gun, stored unused in her truck.Thank you gumshoe,
Am I correct in reading there was a handgun left by the body??
ETA: on page 5 half way down it describes this
Either Fitzgerald chose some really bad wording, or I guess it’s possible that he misunderstood information that MPD gave him. I think that’s more likely. He worked for Ellis County, not Midlothian. He was brought in to help, and his on-site duty that morning was to process Missy’s truck and its contents. He did not do the crime scene inside the church, although he was shown it. But in processing the truck he would have known that her gun was there. So I really don’t know why he chose the language “body site location” instead of just saying “in the truck”.
