This Busch beer can was found at the crime scene. Officer Hale reported, "It appeared
that this can had not been there long as there was not a layer of dust on it. It
did have a small amount of condensation on the exterior."

Officer Hale did not find any latent prints on the can. A witness saw Douglas Swanson
with both victims shortly before the murders. Doug's favorite brew was Busch beer.
In 1991 Douglas Swanson was arrested and convicted of aggravated sexual assault
with a deadly weapon. He is now serving a life sentence at Ferguson Prison
in Midway, Texas.
