Sgt Dean Lang from Forensics appeared in the doorway of Carl’s office. ‘Got a moment, Inspector?’
Carl beckoned him in. ‘What’s up?’
Sgt Lang handed him his preliminary report on the forensic examination of John Drake’s apartment.
‘That apartment’s had the once over, Inspector. As soon as we opened the door it was pretty obvious someone had been through its contents before we got there. And, the thing is, whoever it was didn’t break in. I’d say they had a key.’
‘Any prints?’
‘Mostly Drake’s. A couple of others but I’d say our intruder was wearing gloves. Probably thought that was all he’d need to do to remain invisible.’
‘And, was he successful?’
‘You know how it is, Inspector. People think if they wear gloves they won’t leave any identifiable trace of having been there.’
