AUTOPSY CHECK

With the clues collected, Penney was taken to the Yale-New Haven hospital for autopsy. They were able to check the blood present in the scene of the crime. Penny had blood type A. Upon closer inspection, they found another blood type on her, type O, and the single stab wound that killed her. Because it pierced her heart, she died within a minute. There were also abrasions all over her body, but strangely enough, there was no sign of molestation. This was getting more and more unusual.

ROUNDING UP THE SUSPECTS

Back then, the crime lab could only check on the killer’s blood type. But this wasn’t the very thing that would determine the identity of the killer. The cops definitely needed to find more connections. At this point, however, the best thing for them to do was round up a group of men who may have had the intention to murder Penney.
