MacDonell supported more of Frye’s conclusions in a passage subheaded ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS.  It is quoted here in full, except for references to some numbered photographs.  The emphasis in the second paragraph is his:

Shoe prints made with blood are evident in several areas of the Zeigler Furniture Store.  While some of these poorly defined markings could have been made by Mr. Edwards’s shoes during his extensive struggle around the rear portion of the store, no bloody sneaker prints similar to Mr. Mays’s sneakers were detected.  The person who made the bloody shoe prints certainly was in several places throughout the store—after considerable bloodshed, not before!

Mr. William T. Zeigler left a rather well defined trail of blood from the general area of the telephone on the counter to the front of the store. No similar such pattern was evident from the rear of the store where he was allegedly shot to the counter.  The amount of blood on the telephone certainly suggests he was bleeding prior to using it.  The absence of a blood trail to the telephone should be questioned. 

 The significance of Mr. Mays’s trousers and underpants being pulled down should be considered.  If this was the act of a homosexual, could such an opinion be helpful in understanding the kind of person who committed these crimes?  A forensic psychiatrist may be worth consulting on this.

 The suggestion that Zeigler was bleeding before he used the telephone contradicted Frye’s belief that Zeigler had shot himself after calling the Van Deventer home, assured that help was on the way.  Otherwise, MacDonell completely substantiated Frye’s theories of the case, even on the issue of homosexuality.  Frye and the rest of the prosecution had reason to feel confident two and a half weeks later, on March 25, when Robert Eagan himself presented the case to a grand jury at the Orange County Courthouse in Orlando.
