ANECDOTE

Officer Kane Finds Partner Down

  • Keith Kane found Davina (D) lying face down near her truck with a handgun under her right hand and a large pool of blood beneath her head.
  • He radioed 'officer down' and then waited behind his vehicle for backup instead of immediately performing extended life-saving measures.

  • Investigators and the medical examiner made multiple basic procedural errors, including incorrect body measurements and misreporting the wound location.
  • Those mistakes undermined early evidence interpretation and seeded rumors that shaped the investigation.

  • Crime scene processing was inconsistent: blood drops, a bloody handprint, drag marks and a shell casing were found but not reliably documented or preserved.
  • This inconsistent handling created irreversible gaps that made determining manner of death much harder.
