<div class="floatleft">(http://stmedia.startribune.com/images/1anoka1112.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Dr Irene "Goosey" Gander<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>237 Pacific Way, Kitchen<br/><br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>Monday, 4th May: 7:55 onwards<br/><br/><strong>Doing:</strong>Waiting to remove the body, giving the Lt as much info as she has right now.<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Mike<br/><hr/><br/>As tempting as it was, Irene resisted the urge to lie down on the gurney. For one thing it showed a lack or respect for the deceased. instead she leaned casually against the pillar of brick between the garage door and the front door and watched as the lieutenant made a futile attempt to open the garage.<br/><br/>His attention turned back to her and she shrugged. "Well there's not a lot else to tell. Sharp force trauma to the throat. It looks at first glance like a sharp object, possibly some sort of knife, was pushed into the vic's neck. That was definitely a fatal wound. I'll be able to tell you more once I carry out the autopsy. Without moving the body I can't give you much more, for example I can't tell you whether the vic was stabbed once or multiple times. The size of the wound I observed was consistent with either a large sharp object being thrust in, or a small blade being drawn from side to side across the throat. When I have Mr Stevens on my table, I will be able to tell you which, and also whether he bled out, asphyxiated, or died more quickly."<br/><br/>Another shrug. "An apparent lack of defensive wounds on the hands might suggest that either the vic knew his assailant or he was taken by surprise, but I only said<em>apparent</em>lack. It could be that there are minor defensive wounds I have not had the chance to find yet. Of course young miss Locke may well have had a closer look by now..."
