the word roc being written on the wall. next she looked for fingerprints in the letters themselves. sounds impossible, right? if she s writing and applying pressure to the wall you d think there would be some type of transfer of ridge detail. ridge detail, we all have it. unique tell-tell patterns on every human finger and hand but anna wasn t finding that here. rather she detected an unusual pattern, something like polka dots. i thought to myself the garden glove on the counter missing it s match. missing it s pair. a garden glove was found in the kitchen and the mate was never located. it has a dot pattern. it s like rubber and it has those little nubby things that stick up for gripping purposes
signs of tampering. there was a cable box that was open so then you start to think to yourself somebody trying to cut the wires. a knocked over bird bath so there was evidence outside that at first you need to think to yourself, i think this might be a burglary. and karen s overturned purse on the stove top supported the break-in theory. anna cox took an inventory of everything at the crime scene, a pizza box, a garden glove, a grocery receipt but it s what authorities spotted on the wall just above the body that would turn this case into something out of the movies. a three letter message in blood. you didn t have to squint to make it out either. roc. on the victim, her right hand index finger was clearly stained with blood. r.o.c. what was the murdered woman trying to tell the cops.
