(Albuquerque) A “Return and Inventory” document filed by Albuquerque police in District Court today tells us exactly what investigators found in murder suspect Bill Miller’s home Monday. And what police found is hardly surprising. Guns and ammo. Lots of it. No, the discovery hardly incriminates the man. Police must analyze it all and determine if any of it is linked to the disappearance and presumed murder of Girly Hossencofft.
Note that the seizure also includes duct tape (duct tape was found with Girly’s bloodied clothing near Magdalena), carpet, drapes, cushion covers and maps. Expect more forensic analysis to determine if the unique “signatures” (including chemical composition) on these items matches evidence already collected in the case.
Remember, last December this site reported on the signifance of “pink deer hair” to this investigation. It appears to be no coincidence that Miller’s arrest comes just four days after a forensic expert informed investigators about the following findings:
Found at Girly’s apartment
-60 natural cat hairs (are these hairs from suspect Linda Henning’s cats?)
-15 natural dog hairs
-18 natural deer hairs
-six dyed deer hairs
-one natural rabit hair
-five dyed rabbit hairs
-11 natural feathers
-one pink feather
Found inside tarp with Girly’s bloodied clothing
-101 natural cat hairs
-five natural dog hairs
-two dyed rabbit hairs
-two dyed green feathers
Items collected from Girly’s bloodied blouse
-56 natural cat hairs
-one natural dog hair
Items collected from steam/carpet cleaner in possession of Diazien Hossencofft when arrested in Hanahan, South Carolina
-three natural cat hairs
-20 natural dog hairs
-15 natural deer hairs
-36 dyed deer hairs
Since 1999, this web site has informed readers that Mr. Miller has been described as an avid hunter with anti-government sentiments. A survivalist. This week’s developments appear to have done nothing toward refuting those claims.
