late that afternoon , the call came from the crime lab.-they had a definite match on the dna pulled from the cigarette butts.-they could prove the cigarettes had been smoked the day the sheriff had been shot.-it had rained the night before ; then the sun had come out hot during the day.-it was about an hour after they had recovered the incriminating butts when it started to rain again.-if they hadnt found the butts before it rained on them , it would probably have diluted the dna to the point it would have been useless.- keenan , tavalerio , and harrington went together to pick up jack phillips at his apartment on fourteenth street.-he started out being cocky and smart-alecky .
