However, it was determined that the dial could be unlocked if the combination was not cleared from the dial and locked.
It was further revealed that seven or eight individuals had access to the safe keys at the armored car service. While Allen was employed at Osco, the store had a staff of forty-five employees. All of the keys to the lower portion of the safe were accounted for after August 25. On one occasion, a former Osco employee told Allen that a key to the bottom of the safe was in the store. While it was a violation of Osco's store policy to have a key to the safe, some of the employees saw Allen access the bottom of the safe and carry some of the keys.
Immediately afterthe shootings, it was discovered that Osco's safe had been opened, and $6421 in cash was missing. According to Osco's records, Dick, who was Osco's assistant manager, deactivated the store's alarm system at 7:36 on the morning of August 25. Dudeck, who owned a nearby dry cleaning store, saw Dick alive, just before 8:00 a.m. Dudeck acknowledged that Dick had attempted to take a dress to the cleaners for his wife, but he was unable to enter because that business had not yet opened.
It was also revealed that Alicia Ivories, an Osco employee, telephoned the store early on August 25, 1990, and told Dick that she was not coming in to work that day. Also, Amy Avery stopped at the store at approximately 7:30 a.m. on August 25,
