STORY: "Cell phone taken from evidence room, returned without fingerprints," published by WDRB on September 19, 201
GIST: "The jury in the David Camm case on Thursday heard testimony that an Indiana State Police detective and distant relative of Charles Boney took Kim Camm's cell phone out of the evidence room and kept it for two months, returning it fingerprint-free. That is not the only alleged unethical practice under question in court on Thursday. Former ISP detective and lead investigator of the second Camm trial, Gary Gilbert, took the stand on Thursday. He testified to discovering Charles Boney's DNA on evidence from the murder scene. But the defense grilled Gilbert on the DNA discovery, arguing that it has been begging the prosecution to look at the DNA all along. When questioned by the defense, Gilbert said that he was shocked and surprised to find out that once Boney was arrested, the defense's investigator told Boney about the gun believed to have been used in the murders of Kim, Jill, and Brad Camm. Investigators were withholding the information to use in questioning. Gilbert also testified a prosecution investigator, Wayne Kessinger, had a non-recorded conversation with Boney. He also said he allowed an ISP detective and distant relative of Boney, Myron Wilkerson, to meet with him shortly after he was arrested. Gilbert said Wilkerson told Boney, "The best decision is to be a witness.""
