Witnesses described conversations with household occupants rather than a forensic search of the home.
What the record shows
McCabe testified that she entered the house at an officer's request and woke Brian and Nicole Albert, who came downstairs to speak with police.
Bukhenik acknowledged that he did not search or photograph the interior, secure the yard, or maintain a scene entry log.
Limits and disputed context
Entering a residence to speak with occupants is different from an evidentiary search. Neither the absence of a search nor the conversations establish what happened inside.
