The jug was described as a blue-tinted Culligan 5-gallon water jug with a sign taped on it that said: “Corner Cupboard Food Pantry we appreciate your donations.”
During the investigation, droplets of blood were found scattered around the basement of the church and were collected as evidence. The suspect is described as a man wearing a light-colored t-shirt who rode up to the church on a bicycle around 1:45 a.m. on July 30th. The investigation is ongoing.
