in.”
“Yes, it wouldn’t be that hard to determine one way or the other, so why wasn’t it
done? Here we are in court, and you have no proof whatsoever that a person wiped away
footprints to cover a crime. It’s more likely that Chase Andrews did leave prints under the
tower and that they were washed away by the rising groundwater. And if some friends
had been with him to climb the tower for fun, their footprints would have been washed
away as well. Under these very likely circumstances, there is no suggestion whatsoever of
a crime. Isn’t that correct, Sheriff?”

Seems like there's something in every murder case that doesn't make sense. People mess up. Maybe she was shocked and furious that he still wore the necklace, and after committing murder, it didn't seem like a big deal to snatch it off his neck. She wouldn't have known anybody could link the necklace to her. Your sources said Chase had something going on out there. Maybe, like you said earlier, it wasn't drugs at all, but a woman.
