Abandoned Vehicle Report On July 19, 1998, Cicero Police Officer, Conner, was called
to investigate a possible abandoned car (1978 Montecarlo, silver) parked outside of a laundry mat (Suds & Duds) located on the corner of Milner and Trotter Streets.
The store manager told Officer Conner that the car had not been moved from the current location for 5 days and nights.
Officer Conner conducted a visual inspection of the vehicle from the outside and observed dark red stains on the steering wheel, dash area, glove box, and door handle on the driver side. The car was impounded and towed to the Cicero garage for further forensic examination.

was found to have traces of chloroform, a chemical that causes dizziness, fatigue, and headaches when inhaled.
Vapor causes a profound narcosis. Mortality is 1 in 3000.

Fingerprint Evidence Fingerprints from inside the vehicle, fast
food wrappers, side mirror, trunk, door handles, steering wheel, and evidence bag matched the owner of the vehicle (William Klein).
No other discernible prints were identified.

Soil Evidence Soil from car matches soil from
suspect's garden Soil found in interior looks like it is from
a coastal area, possibly Gulf Coast of Texas
Sawdust was found in soil left by suspect; there is a nearby lumber yard

Handwriting Evidence Tall upper strokes are reaching towards
goals and ambitions or, if they are very extended, there may be unrealistic expectations of what the person feels they must achieve
Wide spaces between words are saying - 'give me breathing space‘
Maybe she was doing better than him and he was jealous
![Page 12: Brandon Mustin, James Sun, Serena Xu. Victim: Louise Emerson, partner of architect firm: Worth, Klein, and Burshowski July 14, 1998 in an underground.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082611/56649edb5503460f94beb6d3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Blood Evidence Low velocity spots indicate blood was dropping Splatter stains indicate that blood was flying from a
source Traces of Type B negative blood from steering
wheel, dash area, and glove box area matches Arthur Klein’s blood type
Testing indicates type A blood was on the seat and floorboard of the back seat of the car, and on the back window and in the trunk. This matches Louise Emerson's blood type.
