CALDWELL COUNTY, NC (WBTV) WBTV has learned that a briefcase has been found that may contain possible blood evidence relating to the disappearance of a Hickory girl who was reported missing in October which attracted national and international attention.
A source said the contents appeared to be clothing or some other type of cloth that was possibly stained by blood or some other dark substance.
The briefcase was found deep in the woods beyond the area that had been previously searched by investigators in November.
The items will be sent to the SBI lab in Raleigh to be analyzed. Only then will investigators know for sure if the items relate to the case at all.
Snipped and bolded by me for emphasis.
