    The crime lab report summarizes the analysis of evidence from a death investigation involving Clifford Williams, Jeanette Williams, and Nina Marshall in Duval County on May 2, 1976. Ballistics analysis found that bullets recovered from the victims were all fired from the same .38 caliber weapon with 8-groove rifling. A bullet from Jeanette Williams showed rifling impressions from a .32 caliber weapon. A window frame had an apparent bullet hole. The evidence did not match bullets in other open cases. Suspect weapons should be submitted for comparison.
