I've got a psychic MC who "reads" personal items like jewelry. She's close friends with a detective on a murder case that has personal interest for her. She's itching to get her hands on the victim's necklace so she can do her psychic thing with it.
I'm assuming any jewelry on the victim goes into evidence right away. Then what? How long until it would be released back to the family? If the forensics people don't find anything on the necklace, do they still keep it? My detective character might bend the rules if he were just risking a dressing-down, but he wouldn't risk his job or the case to indulge the psychic MC.
Thanks in advance!
