Sometime after the corpse had been discovered, it was also noted that a piece of white duct tape matching the color of the door edge and door jamb had been placed at eye level on the inside of the balcony door.

To some this indicates prior knowledge of the door's coloring and prior, uninterrupted access to the home.

Fingerprint tape is clear plastic; evidence tape is brightly colored with noticeable borders in a diamond pattern. This was simply white tape and did not appear to be there from any forensic activity. I however still feel that entry and exit was via the basement and that someone who had 'rigged' the balcony door would not bother to explore the basement.
