An inventory of a police search warrant on a white Jeep Wrangler indicates police took a swab of stain, prints, and impressions, mostly from the Jeep's hood.
The county school system's video surveillance could also help the investigation.
Police impounded the Jeep as a possible vehicle of interest in the Tom Farrell hit and run case.
Floyd County sheriff's deputies told investigators Jeffrey Young was known to drive a white Jeep Wrangler.
Young is accused of running down and then beating a complete stranger with a stick two days after the Farrell hit and run.
The search warrant states police found "various papers" in the Jeep with Young's name.
Roanoke police detective Dave Flynn inventoried thirteen items taken from the Jeep, including it's vehicle identification number.
Some of the items included a "latent" partial palm print from the hood and other prints.
A "latent print" is usually police speak for prints uncovered using fingerprint dust.
Other items included paint chips from the hood.
In fact, the warrant reads like police took the Jeep's hood off its frame for closer inspection.
There is also mention of a "denstone cast of impression."
This is again police speak for taking a cast of an impression using dental casts similar to when a dentist takes impressions of teeth.
Police also took possession of four DVDs from Roanoke County schools.
On them are hours of video surveillance from cameras pointed toward streets near Cave Spring Elementary, Cave Spring Middle School, and Penn Forest Elementary School.
In court records, investigators write the surveillance video "may contain the suspect vehicle in the fatality crash traveling to or departing from the crash."
