into a circular flagstone drive way was in the open position. The western most gate was in the closed position. The front was locked on my approach and I continued traveling to the west where there is a small double gate which has a sign, "Please keep gate closed". This gate was opened and leads to a large patio with a swimming pool. To the west of the swimming pool is a walk way leading to a dock which then leads directly across to the intra coastal waterway. The dock was examined and checked for any signs of a boat tying up or the presence of anyone that may have left either debris such food containers, cigarettes, cigars etc. None was found. It should be noted that the exterior temperature was 79 degrees and the humidity was 63 percent. There is a small cabana at the southern end of the pool which had computer equipment as well as exercise equipment. None of this had been touched or tampered with.

On the south side of the residence in the southwest corner Mr. Epstein indicated that he believed this was the area that the intruder made entry to the residence. The room is a computer room and Florida type room and has three double sliding glass windows present. The eastern most and western most are identical in shape having two glass panels. The central one has three glass panels and is the only one of the three that has a set of 14 flagstones leading directly into the room. The flooring is a wood type of flooring and the western set of sliding doors was found ajar, however the sandy area directly outside of the door did not indicate the presence of shoe prints or barefoot prints. The central window was found ajar and still had the lock mechanism in the extended outward position. The two windows believed to have been entered were processed and no latent fingerprints were found on the western most, no fingerprints were found on the eastern most. There was one mark that was found that was not a fingerprint but could have been made from either a cloth or a rubber glove and this was found on the interior of the central window.

Once inside the residence, the person went over to a desk which is a veneer covered desk and there was a black bag underneath. The black bag is approximately 2' long by 1' high and was placed on the southern side of the interior of the desk by the pedestal. The individual knelt down and pulled the case open and removed cash from a white envelope. There were thirteen one hundred dollar bills left, still in the envelope when I examined it. The thirteen one hundred dollar bills were removed in the presence of Det. Melnichok and Mr. Epstein and they were counted and turned directly over to Mr. Epstein for security purposes. The top of the desk, sides of the desk and bottom of the desk was processed for latent fingerprints and no latent fingerprints of value were found on those areas. The envelope will be transported to headquarters and processed chemically for latent fingerprints. There will be a supplement to that effect that will follow.
