He did some preliminary tests on the unknown substance and then turned it over to the Weber State College Crime Lab for further investigation. The case was then turned back over to the Sunset Police. Art Terklesen of the crime lab reported the substance looked more like Kool Aid than heroin. When you are working with an unknown there are hundreds of possibilities to check, he added. Tests were made and the lab determined that the substance was not a controlled substance.
