Four known examinations of firearms were conducted throughout the Delphi murders investigation — two in 2017 and two in 2022. Unspent rounds were cycled through suspect guns and compared against an unfired .40 S&W cartridge with extraction markings found in the ground at the crime scene. The State’s reports for Brad Weber and Rawn Logan’s guns have not been located.
