SAN ANGELO, TX -- On July 10th, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Evidence Response Team (ERT) deployed from Dallas, Texas to Tom Green County to assist in two crime scene searches, one located at O. C. Fisher Reservoir and the other at Twin Buttes Reservoir.

 These two crime scenes are related to the 1988 homicides of Shane Stewart and Sally McNelly.

These highly trained and equipped teams operate at an exceptional level of competence to ensure evidence is collected in such a manner that it can be introduced in courts throughout the U.S. and the world.
