On Sept. 3, P.I. and forensic expert Myrl Stebens spoke to
the San Joaquin Chapter of Sisters in Crime, Fresno. Stebens is currently consulting on the
re-opened Jonbenet Ramsey case. He has been asked to evaluate the multiple
marks on the victim’s body.
He educated the group on the difference between stun guns
and tasers. Stun guns can be bought over the counter; tasers are harder to
obtain. Tasers have hooks on them, much like fishhooks. With a stun gun, both
probes have to make contact in order for the volt to connect.
Can stun guns kill? “You would more likely die from an
electrical short on a lawn mower,” said Stebbens.
Twenty years ago, at the time of Jonbenet’s death, tasers
were not commercially sold. The investigation of the crime scene at the time
was not, in Stebens’ mind, properly or effectively processed. Stebens explained
that while he is not supporting any theories but only analyzing the evidence,
he does believe two different stun guns were used, possibly indicating two
different assailants. There were 14 separate groupings of marks.
Great recap of an excellent meeting. Mr. Stebbens is always informative and entertaining, rare in a PI!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great learning opportunity! Interesting stuff.
ReplyDeleteThere are two things I seriously want to find out before I die. One is who killed President Kennedy and why. The other is who and why was Jon Benet Ramsey killed. I lived in the Denver Metropolitan area when it happened in Boulder, Colorado, not that far away. I NEVER once suspected the parents, when so many others seemed to. I'm glad they were cleared, but who did it and why? She was a pretty little girl who was way too young to have done anything bad to anyone. I enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteGreat summary! Very interesting talk. The second part with Attorney Mugridge was very informative also.
ReplyDeleteStay tuned for the second part of my article where I discuss David Mugridge's presentation.
ReplyDeleteIt was an excellent presentation. Good job at recapping, Sunny.
ReplyDeleteNot a single second went without leaving me in utter surprise.

Stun gadgets are a perfect self preservation weapon since they have a few different focal points over hand guns. Self protection isn't just the capacity to fight off an assailant if necessary yet in addition the capacity to be set up for it.Top 10 best stun batons
