and watched television, was there. her wallet was there. the keys to her car were there. forensic scientists found another important clue on arlene s bed. tiny bits of metal, most no bigger than a fraction of an inch. these are metal fragments which weren t just one type, even visually. some were silver color, some were brass color, some were copper colored. it was quite a large mixture of materials. something you normally don t see. investigators found those same metal shavings on arlene s body. it gives you a significant tie between the body recovery scene and what you would believe to be the tell location of occurrence. on arlene s jacket were several beige nylon fibers. they were triangular in shape. the kind used in cars. this suggested that arlene s body had been inside a car with beige upholstery.
he said if she interveered any longer, he would kill her. she left the house they rented making statements like, i m not going to put up with with this and i don t know why you re putting up with this either, to her daughter. ackley s brand of cigarettes was another interesting coincidence. when he bought cigarettes, he bought the cheapest cigarettes he could get his hands on. those were basic, b-a-s-i-c, brand cigarettes. that was the kind of cigarette butts located in the toilet of arlene jensen s house. and there was a box of basic brand dumped where arlen jensen s body was found some six weeks later. what was most telling to investigators was gary ackley s profession. gary ackley worked as a fabricator. he worked in a metal shop and much of his time he spent on a lathe. this was suspicious since metal fragments were found on both stephanie dittrick s body as well as arlene jensen s.
