I entered the scene from the south perimeter and checked in with Officer Ribeiro #3224 who was maintaining a crime scene personnel log. During the search of the garage, I located a black leather purse. This purse was located along the garage's west wall, approximately 3 feet south of the doorway. The purse contained women's toiletries, two cellular phones, a memory card, and a memory stick. I contacted the residents of apartment #5 and showed them this purse. All of the apartment's residents stated that they did not recognize the purse and it did not belong to them . I subsequently collected the purse for safekeeping .
