the officers established that: (1) Weaver was a suspect; (2) he had been seen driving a green Jeep; and (3) there most likely would be blood evidence in the Jeep if in fact Weaver had been involved in the shooting. Additionally, once the officers arrived at Weaver’s cousin’s home, they discovered that Weaver had asked for a change of clothing, a trash bag, and bleach. Upon further investigation, the officers found a bag of “wash clothes” near the Jeep that smelled of bleach and the inside of the Jeep was wet with bleach. Thus, based on probable cause that the automobile contained evidence of a crime, and the necessity to preserve the potential blood evidence, the warrantless search and subsequent seizure did not violate the Fourth Amendment.
