I was wondering if the bullet retrieved matched a specific revolver to a .38? What was the persons involvement that was apprehended and allegedly arrested for the murder of the trooper? Now we that we know there are odd underground tunnels I’m curious about the case link. My interests is simple, my mentor is a trooper so it’s personal.
