Vaughan's role in the high-profile Oregon case is a surprise to State Patrol crime-lab officials, according to director Barry Logan.
Vaughan's ties to the Oregon case came to light after his name appeared in a Seattle Post-Intelligencer investigative series in July on flaws in oversight of the State Patrol crime lab.
Vaughan discovered a second alleged gunpowder flake in 1986, this time sending half of it to the FBI crime lab in Washington, D.C., to verify his conclusion that it matched particles found on the victim.
