from his father s own collection. we believe from talking to his friends and his office manager that he would have had a gun in his night side table. and on the night of the murder, no gun was found there. we understand that he had .9 millimeter guns in the past as well and leslie was killed with a .9 millimeter. the gun was, in this case though, never found. finally, investigators interviewed the only other person in the house at the time of the murder, brian s younger brother, chris. we asked chris if brian would kill your dad, and chris answered, i don t know. we asked him, would brian kill your dad? i don t know, which is an unusual response as opposed to no, he wouldn t do it, no, he couldn t do it, no, he would never do it. brian vaughn was arrested and charged with his father s
for violence. that is sometimes the risk you take when you lose a client who happens to be a drug dealer. what went through my mind is maybe it was a client, somebody who s mad at him. homicide detective alfred damiani broke the news to leslie s wife, madeleine. i ve made a lot of those notifications and after the initial gasp of shock and then how did it happen. she never asked that. she never, ever asked that. and they found another surprise on the 911 call. a wor of two young boys life could be hectic. angie s list saves me a lot of time. after reading all the reviews i know i m making the right choice. online or on the phone, we help you hire right the first time. with honest reviews on over 720 local services. keeping up with these two is more than a full time job, and i don t have time for unreliable companies.
there were only three people in the house on the night of leslie vaughn s murder the victim and his two sons. a background check reveals 16-year-old brian had a previous arrest. he got into an argument with one of the security guards at the bowling alley who was actually an off-duty bexar sheriff s county deputy. in that altercation, he ended up striking the deputy and evading from the scene. those were pending charges at the time that leslie was murdered. investigators also learned that brian s car caught on fire three months before his father s murder. the origin was suspicious. there was an emergency call. the vehicle was totalled and had to be put out. there s some question as to whether or not brian was responsible for starting that fire or being there when the fire started. whether leslie vaughn suspected this or not is uclear, but he offered to buy brian a used car to replace the one ruined in the fire. apparently, brian wanted a new one. a car salesman told police he
anything. they were basically just dead air. unfortunately, phone records couldn t determine the origin of the calls. for investigators, their first test was to eliminate the victim s wife, madeleine, as a possible suspect. hospital records confirmed she was working on the night of the murder and had never left the premises. madeleine was grieving. she was stunned. she was in shock. she was all of the things you would expect her to be. remember i showed you the pictures of leslie and madeleine and they looked happy. does that look look a picture of somebody knocking each other out? that s what i saw. on the night of the murder, as a matter of routine, police swabbed brian vaughn s hands for gunshot residue since he was in the house when the crime occurred. these are small microscopic particles left behind when a gun
through that window didn t even faze him. didn t even wake him up. the obvious conclusion that you have to draw from that is the guy was probably dead already. toxicology tests found no drugs or alcohol in leslie vaughn s system. so there was no evidence he was unconscious before he was killed. next, investigators sent the rock to the forensic lab for testing. i talked to a scientist and asked him if there was a process in which he plans to use to attempt to raise these latent prints. the process is called superglue fuming. heated superglue produces fumes that adhere to a fingerprint, and the adhesion is greater than fingerprint powder. you want to preserve anything that is on that rock, as far as latent prints, or fingerprints. you want to make sure there is no way, by using a brush, that it s going to come off. unfortunately, the surface of the rock was too jagged.
