all of it gone due to a simple clerical error. when anyone retires, you get a list of evidence on cases. there s a box. you either check dispose or retain, and the box was checked dispose for this case. i mean, what s that moment like when you re trying to solve this case, only to find out that physical evidence has been destroyed by your own police department? well, i was pretty upset. i was pretty mad. okay, to be honest, i was really mad. the most important piece of evidence, though, was that blood drop which was stored separately. the defense would want their own experts to test it. so if it was missing, too, the case against hansen might well be over. was that kind of a, oh, my gosh, what if this has been destroyed, too? yes. because then you re kind of done. i was stressed. i met with alana williams, the forensic scientist. she

the fact that there is a way asteroid and registered in his name, he said, i don t own the van. it s registered under my name, but it actually belongs to a guy i know, who owns a transmission shop. police got his search warrants for the transmission shop. and sure enough, the way van registered to gianni van was there. but that s not all they found. the people who process the shops, awe one single drop of blood, in an office. investigators found something else. remember those old style towel dispensers and gestation bathrooms? the shop had that exact type of dispenser. the towel dispenser had luca tells in the dispenser. and details that were wrapped around, the cloth that was wrapped around gonzalo ramirez was blue cloth. yet later, when that blood drop found in the shop was tested, the result was less than conclusive. did the blood match gonzalo
