The Head Wound/Fracture and Different types of Weapons
What I picture the fracture and void as looking like:
Also see Sandman's version:
What I think the fracture would look like if the flashlight were used, version one:
1. The void across the bottom would be arced following the curve of the flashlight.
2. The top of the void would vary according to the angle the flashlight was in as it struck her skull. The more tangental
it was in relation to the skull the straighter I think the line would be,
3. In either case, version one or two, more fractures would be found along the bottom of the void than the top and they would
radiate from around the void, not just at the ends of the rectangular void.
My version two of the flashlight fracture:
1. It is similar to one, and the void may accommodate the flashlight pretty closely, especially if the top of the void
were curved as this shows, but I think the fracture lines would be quite different.
Here's what I think the weapon looks like:

The only change I would make at this point would be that the size of the pipe should probably be 1/2" instead of 3/4" or 1".
When flattened out the tee would be very close to 1-3/4" and 1/2". If this device were covered in black tape it would account
for the use of the rest of the tape, the fact that there was no visible exterior sign of injury, no trace of hair, blood or skin on
any of the assumed weapons. Any plumber and most other contractors would have piping configurations like this around-
they are called "dirt legs", they are made of black steel and are always found at gas-fired equipment. They obviously would
not be traceable as any conventional weapon would be and wrapped in the tape approximates the L & L murderer weapon
which this person has chosen to copy together with ICB. The flashlight was left by the intruder to implicate the Ramseys by
duplicating the bed-wetting senario of ICB where Perry is hit with a flashlight by the nuns at the orphanage.
