Details: On September 13, 2002, a box was received from F.B.I Laboratory at the Seattle Evidence Control Center by ECT [REDACTED] b6 [REDACTED] Believing this was a standard return of evidence, the b7C item was not given priority status, due to a high volume of work in the Evidence Control Center.

On September 25, 2002, the box was opened and the invoice examined. The contents were a skull, bone, and rock originally acquired by the Omaha Division in June, 2000. Upon reviewing the invoice, ECT [REDACTED] researched the origin of these b6 materials to determine the "1B" number. No evidence paperwork b7C was located, so a call was made to the collecting agent, SA [REDACTED] [REDACTED] (North Platte RA, Omaha Division). SA [REDACTED] advised on September 26, 2002 that he did not submit the items to the Evidence Control Center in Omaha prior to sending it to the lab.

On September 26, 2002, ECT [REDACTED] entered the items b6 into ACS, using the date received (9/13/02) as the date which the b7C chain of custody begins. The items were placed into storage, and the case agent, SA [REDACTED] was telephonically notified of the evidence.
