Forensics Reports

On July 25, 2024, Brian S. Clark published his Forensics report about Jeffrey Wogenstahl’s case, with an addendum following on October 9, 2024. The report includes the following statements:
“Of particular concern is the lack of documentation and photographs of the suspected bloodstain collected by Jeff Schaefer on the door handle of the Oldsmobile Omega during the first search of that vehicle. It was also noted that investigators did not report conducting a thorough search of the victim’s apartment looking for possible evidence of an abduction or the homicide…”
“The contention the victim was killed in Wogenstahl’s Oldsmobile Omega is not supported by the evidence…
“The contention the victim was transported in the Oldsmobile Omega either before or after she was killed is not supported by the evidence…
“The contention the victim was killed in Wogenstahl’s apartment is not supported by the evidence…”

Clark’s report can be read in full here, with the addendum.

In March, 2015 Gary Rini, M.F.S, submitted a report on forensic issues in Jeff’s case. His final conclusion was:

“In my nearly forty years of experience in law enforcement and forensic investigation, it is my opinion that the investigation of this case was so deficient in its thoroughness and adherence to established procedures of professional competence that it rates in the top 10% of the most troublesome cases that I have reviewed, or personally have been involved with, since I began my law enforcement career in 1975.”             

Here is Rini’s complete report.*
