What seems odd to me is that news reports, including this one describe a “military style knife” and include a brand, and some even include a photograph. These reports were even made before the autopsies.
How could anyone know this?
I saw a tru-detective show once that showed the police/FBI have ‘knife experts’ that can look at a wound(s) and tell from the manner of cuts, length, serrations etc what type of knife or “edged weapon” in this case, was used.
My first thought was a military surplus bayonet................
The cops were going around asking about recent purchases of such knives at hardware stores. Journalists interviewed the hardware store folks. The cops probably guessed the type of knife from the nature of the wounds.
