According to NewsChannel5, prosecutors will test a bloody T-shirt found in the motor home owned by former police Capt. Douglas Prade. It will be sent to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal
Identification and Investigation.
<P>
Prade was convicted Nov. 26, 1997, of killing his ex-wife.
<P>
Margo Prade was shot six times with a .38-caliber pistol and
found dead inside her van in the parking lot behind her Akron
medical office.
<P>
The sister of the victim, Veronica Sadler, found the shirt and other items in
August when she cleaned out a motor home parked at Prade's former home.
<P>
Sadler also found .38-caliber bullets, a bullet clip, a handgun
stock and a pair of men's underwear.
<P>
Last year, the prosecutor told the victim's family that the case was still open but said the shirt had no evidence value.
<P>
According to court documents, Akron police detectives searched
the motor home twice before and found nothing, The Associated Press reports.
<P>
Prade has an appeal pending before the 9th District Court of
Appeals for Ohio. He always has maintained his innocence.
