anony_mouse, I agree!

There seemed to be an answer from Esteban from off camera about the liquor bottle, but I can't hear what he says.

Kathy, I downloaded the audio at High-Definition, increased the volume, and I can quote the dialogue with 100% accuracy:

Tiffany: "...was there a Jack Daniels, empty Jack Daniels bottle found at the campsite area?"

Tavares: "I believe there was a bottle of liquor found. I do not know if it was a bottle of Jack Daniels"

Tiffany: "Was it empty, or was there any alcohol in..."

Tavares: "I'm going to have to turn to Lt. Esteban that might have the answer to that question. Do you recall?"

Lt. Esteban: "Uhh, no, I don't recall that"

Tiffany: "Whether it was empty or not?"

Lt. Esteban: "Correct."

It seems to me that the sobriety, or lack thereof, of the victim, and of the suspect, would play a major role in the investigation. But if neither officer can even recall if it was empty or full, it leads me to ask if this bottle was properly documented. Being that the bottle was not even included in the search warrant, which Tiffany Edwards cleverly noted, it seemingly confirms this evidence was not given the proper scrutiny that one would expect.

The reason I bring this up is because neither Bo or Brittany were known to drink, much less buying large bottles of hard liquor. I wonder if this bottle was tested for fingerprints/dna?
