A copy of the police report of the investigation into the year-old mysterious death of Robert Lee Clay, a Howard County resident and political activist, sheds little light on the case, and is telling more for what it leaves out.

The 34-page report, obtained by The Examiner, is the first glimpse of the police department?s investigation into Clay?s death that has been released to the public. The Examiner had reviewed partial police reports, but filed under the Maryland Public Information Act.
