E28 / SOURCE-LINKED RECORD

Later searches and evidence-bag documentation

Additional material was recovered at Fairview after the initial SERT search.

What the record shows

Bukhenik was questioned about later searches, report preparation, and the recovery of further plastic pieces in February.

He distinguished later narrative reports from annotations on evidence bags recording recovery information. The defense questioned delays and documentation.

Limits and disputed context

Later recoveries were not all made during the original search or by the same personnel. This summary is not a complete chain-of-custody audit.
