She was stunned and shocked, and that s all she really had to say at that point. she hasn t really spoken with anyone since. i ve never seen a case like this before this and i hope to never see a case like this after this. up next, the secret life of a call girl, often a very dangerous profession. they found a female, face down, didn t appear to have any signs of life. she would be a natural target, because she would usually have significant amounts of cash on her person. the evidence points to one man looks like rambo, acts like rambo and dresses like rambo, it may be rambo. until one tiny clue turns the case around. it was after midnight on a chilly march evening when virginia russell was driving

testing for saliva at that time on the mouth of a beer bottle wasn t as commonly done as it is today. the bottles were then subjected to super glue fuming. these fumes will adhere to finger oils and often produce quality prints. glass is a very smooth surface, and the residue that builds up on the ridges and the fingers and in the palms of the hands will easily transfer from the surface of the hand onto the glass surface, and that glass surface will hold it. after 15 minutes in the fuming chamber, one partial palmprint emerged on one of the bottles found near virginia s body. this partial print didn t match virginia russell, justin bullard or roy beck.
Scientists couldn t perform genetic dna testing. all analysts could say was that visually, it looked more similar to beck s hair than bullard s. but inside roy beck s apartment, the one with no electricity that the call girl visited, police found a potential clue. we found three bottles of michelob beer. so, now you have two michelob light beers at the body scene, one unopened and a carton in virginia russell s car and three at beck s unpowered apartment. scientists swabbed the beer bottles from the murder scene, looking for a possible connection. unfortunately, they didn t find enough saliva or skin cells to generate a dna profile.
