Mez: RECONSTRUCTING (4#) -

The Meredith Kercher Murder Case . . .

Frank in Perugia has material from the Forensic Unit's Reconstruction of the Crime. Warning: if you are sensitive to blood and gore, you may be uncomfortable with this presentation.

Intriguing Detail: Look at that official seal of the UACV. Who is depicted on the face of that seal? There is a man who appears to be wearing a top hat, making his way through a fog.

Perhaps, it is Prof Joseph Bell, who was a pioneer in forensic science and the inspiration for the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.

:: And Frank says "to be continued."

Meanwhile, the prosecutor's office and/or a local news organization has been focusing on the issue of the broken-down car parked on Pergola St and the tow truck which came to assist it, purportedly on the night of the homicide.

According to a Google translation of the dispatch from the Italian Journalists' Coop Syndicate and some others:

They have been attempting to ascertain what time the tow truck was there - was it 2300 hr or around 11pm?

They have to identify which mechanic sent the tow truck, what time the dispatcher sent him out, etc. This would support the testimony of the witness Kokomani, as far as I am able to understand. These details should be recorded on at least one log somewhere.

How many mechanics have a tow truck and driver in the Perugia area? Nailing down these details seems do-able to me. Consequently, I expect the prosecutor's office to have some success in this regard.
