Kuvakäsikirjoitus Teksti
- Carroll Bonnet apartment manager went to the residence to check on him, peeked in the window and saw him lying face down, naked, with a stab wound to his torso. Upon entering his apartment, fire department personnel discovered that he had been brutally murdered with a knife and that his car was missing.
- They found a severed telephone cord, newspapers strewn about, cigarette butts in the garbage and empty beer cans. There were clear signs of a struggle and measures taken so that Mr. Bonnet could not call for help.
- Police also discovered three towels next to the victim, along with a taunting note.
- The Omaha Police Department collected evidence, including latent fingerprints and palm prints from the victim’s bathroom (officers believed the killer was trying to wash off blood and other evidence before leaving the apartment), towels, cigarette butts and beer cans, as well as various newspapers strewn around the scene.
- “I am leaving this crim (sic) with only one clue. Find it yourself Pig!!! Die Pig. – Helter”
- Watson taunted Herout, “I know that you can’t have evidence that said I did it. You know? Cause I know I didn’t.”
