Investigators Found Clothing... #truecrimestories #truecrimeshorts #crimejunkies #podcast | Forensic Files

But, just a few months after getting out, he's accused of sexually assaulting his ex-wife. Ex, because she had
obviously moved on while he was in jail and for all the Debbie stuff. And then, less than a year after that, Brittany is
brutally murdered. And he becomes the main suspect. [music] With that past, a shaky alibi, and a
failed polygraph, detectives have enough to get a search warrant for his aunt's place where he'd been living. They're
looking for anything to physically link him to the crime. Bloody clothes, a murder weapon, Brittany's missing
[music] underwear. Yeah. And they do find and take some interesting items into evidence. Like a pair of white
shorts with what appears to be drops of blood on them. And a white t-shirt that also appears to
have blood on it. >> [music] >> A gray ski mask. And women's underwear. Two pairs. One is pink, size seven.
>> [music] >> The other is white, size five. Now, there's no blood on either pair or
anything like that. And we know [music] Chad is dating Velveteen, right? Like, could be hers. So, they go to Jeff's mom
and she says the pink ones, the size seven ones, those are Velva. She knows that. But, the size five, no one in that
house seems to claim those. >> [music] >> So, then they go to Brittany's mom. And
sure enough, she tells them that the size five is the exact size that [music] Brittany wore. So, they've got Chad.
Not quite. This search didn't happen until more than two weeks after the murder. And
according to law enforcement, it seemed like the underwear had been washed by the time that investigators got a hold
of them. So, even though they do send them off for testing, nothing comes back that would definitively [music] link
Brittany to the underwear.

With enough suspicion to act, detectives obtained a search warrant for the home where he had been staying. They were looking for anything that could connect him to Brittany McGlone’s murder — including clothing, a possible weapon, or her missing underwear.

During the search, they collected several items, including clothing with what appeared to be blood, a ski mask, and two pairs of women’s underwear.

By the time investigators recovered the items, they appeared to have been washed. Testing did not produce any conclusive results linking them to Brittany.
