i remember thinking, wow, i wonder if that s what wrote these letters. cox bought similar gloves at a hardware store. after several more days of testing was satisfied that her hunch was correct. ana cox had come up with two important findings. the message in blood had likely been written with a gloved hand and it had been scrawled at least 20 minutes after the onset of the attack on karen. she reported her results to the detectives who by then had learned another pertinent fact about their victim. karen was exclusively left handed and her left hand did not have blood smear on it. not only that, when the autopsy report came in, it suggested karen couldn t have written anything with either hand. from what the medical examiner was seeing on this table, was this a victim who was going to dip in her own blood and write roc on the wall? no, absolutely not. over 90% of her spinal cord had been damaged by the knife
