Detective Ian Patrick, AKA Mr. Cool.

 **Detective Ian Patrick has been in the courtroom since day one, sitting at the Prosecution's table next to DA Rosell. He gets the witnesses when they are being called, he helps Rosell set up exhibits, and he walks in and out of the courtroom with documents during the trial. I hadn't heard him talk prior to him testifying. He is a young looking, tall man with a shaved head, and his demeanor seems as reserved as anyone I've known. I was expecting his testimony to be that of a soft spoken, young male that sounded as rookie as he looked, aaaand I couldn't have been more wrong. He had a commanding voice, similar to that of Rosell who you can hear anywhere in the courtroom unlike anyone else that has testified, and he was clear, concise and never confused -- completely sure of himself. He had a quick answer for ever question asked, even those by the Defense, and didn't seem to need any time to think. Before he got on the stand I would have said there was no way this kid had been on the force more than 4 years. Come to find out that he runs Robbery-Homicide and has been an Officer for 13 years was only shocking until 5 minutes into his testimony when it all started to make sense. If this guy isn't running a department by 2020 somethings wrong with our system. Most of the Officers testifying before him probably had more time on the force than this guy has had on Earth, and yet he was the calm, collected, and concise one. Mr. Cool indeed.

How long have you worked in the county?
Since 1998, 13 years. I formerly ran Robbery Homicide.

You were assigned to Ashas case?
Yes, I worked with Ramsey on it.

Did you observe Asha's body where it was found, as it was found?
Yes I did.

Did you take a DNA swab from anyone? When?
I did, from Richard Veil on September 18th, 2006.
JIP-5#9 : Oral DNA swab

Did you attend Asha's autopsy?
No, and I was never at the morgue with the body.

Were you ever near McClish's truck?
I went into the truck in October 2011, but not previous to that.

Tell us about your involvement with the case?
I took over the department and oversaw this case.

**He talked about the logistics of looking at the video surveillance they were able to obtain from the Ben Lomond Market, or I should say the bank INSIDE Ben Lomond Market, as no surveillance tapes were ever provided by Ben Lomond Market to investigators. The tape alternated between 3 different cameras/views (2 from the Bank Teller Windows looking out to the checkout stands at BLM and the front door/Office/Punch out clock, and the third from the ATM near the door looking at the back of the building through the checkout stands). The problem is that it goes from, as an example, 12:01:30PM Camera 1-> Camera 2-> Camera 3-> 12:01:35 Camera 1-> Camera 2-> Camera 3-> etc, in rapid succession. This means that without equipment/software they could not look at JUST camera angle 1 chronologically. But with the equipment available to them it was spliced into 3 reels, one for each camera angle.

Did you at any point observe Michael McClish on September 9th, 2006?
Yes, he was wearing a camo hat.



Did you at any point observe Asha on September 9th, 2006?
Yes, wearing her employee uniform she was found in, plus the backpack - "spot on what we've seen."

**Patrick went over a chain of several images from one of the cameras located behind the Bank Teller windows, showing the front door of Ben Lomond Market, with daylight coming through, then less so, then even less, then none. It goes to show the time of sunset the day of September 9th, 2006, without the need to look it up in National Geographic. Seems odd too look up sunset times in National Geographic doesn't it? Yeah, when the Defense Attorney said it to a previous person testifying I thought the same thing...

**The last 2 images he shows of her, Asha is not wearing the backpack and is moving towards the back of the store. The last picture is her wearing the same looking black backpack that was later found near Quail Hollow.**
