Bowie County Sheriff Presley stated that he was notified Tuesday, November 9 that the fingerprints from Tennison did not match those at the Booker/Martin crime scene. A ballistics expert from Little Rock, Arkansas, revealed that the cartridge cases of test bullets fired from the rifles Tennison would have had access to were nothing like the cases of the bullets found at Starks' home. In 2013, a relative of Doodie claimed that all ballistics testing from these available guns was irrelevant because those were most likely not the guns Doodie used, especially if the real guns were disassembled and hidden as stated in his note.
