To start with my weaker clues, a roll of duct tape was found soon after the murder in the trash can. Now we know on the evening of June 17th, 1972, Mr. Frank Wills came across something suspicious in the DNC headquarters. A piece of duct tape on the door lock to prevent the door from locking shut. Wills removed the tape but noticed even more on his second round of the DNC, pushing him to call the police.

Anderson became so obsessed with Nixon, he focused all of his
