...well, yes, if he cut himself on it, naturally there would be blood on the pieces. But if there's nothing else then it was either an empty jar or something else entirely. And I don't know why you'd keep a colored jar around if not to at least put a candle in it?
Does the smell remind you of anything? Or is it just indefinably weird?
That would be the quickest way to figure it out, yes. Maybe you should put a bell on him until this situation is resolved. He'd have a harder time sneaking out that way, and it would be easier to find him.
