The wound was through-and-through and no projectile was recovered during the autopsy or at the scene, the coroner's report said. As a result, ballistics comparison with the weapon that was recovered from Cristy Campbell’s submerged vehicle at Silver Lake by investigators of the Madison County Sheriff Office will not be possible.

Efforts to determine ownership and weapon identification are ongoing. Carbon monoxide testing will be performed to determine if Justin Campbell suffered from any smoke inhalation from the ensuing structure fire.
