I can not understand for the life of me why there would be metal fragments in her body. I simply can not wrap my mind around it. I try to imagine how it could happen, but my mind just doesn't want to go there. I feel both such a tremendous rage and overwhelming sadness over this case. I would die a thousand deaths before I ever let any harm come to my daughter. I don't understand how this mother could leave her precious girl in the hands of someone she barely knew. How utterly selfish and thoughtless - she had other options but consciously chose to not go with them. It's so puzzling to me. My mind tries to understand but the only result is my heart is broken.

Investigators believe the metal fragments came from the cord JR was whipping her with.

IIRC from info at the start of the trial, they were copper bits (just defining the "metal"). That seems about right for electrical/extension cord wiring.

Now I am pissed off again, for having these images in my head.
Seriously, I know it's court, and I know everyone is good at abiding the rules, but I would not be shocked if any one person in that courtroom snaps at some point and goes off on him.

SBI agent Amy Brewer said wire fragments found in #teghanskiba's skin; could not match to a power cord in #johnathanrichardson's home #wral
 
Kelli O'Hara ‏@Kelli_OHara 4m

Another SBI analyst on the stand, talking about sexual assault evidence. #JonathanRichardson #trial



Kelli O'Hara ‏@Kelli_OHara 5m

Second SBI analyst just finished up, talked about hair on duct tape found at crime scene highly likely #TeghanSkiba #JonathanRichardson
 
so nothing matched so what the hello metal was in her skin? something he threw out?
 
Heather Moore ‏@HeatherMooreNow 8m

Finished w/SBI hair analyst. Now SBI blood/body fluid forensic analyst. Says frayed elec cord from shed had blood on it. #JonathanRichardson

This is where a live stream of the testimony would help. Is it that it's difficult to make such a match or was it determined that the metal in her body did not come from the cord found in the shed? I'll send that question to Heather Moore.
 
I pray that LE took dental impressions from the monster and that they matched to the 63 bite marks on little Teghan's body.

RIP Teghan. Justice is coming.

What the heck does that mean?...semen evidence but not rape...you all read that posting a while back about what he did to her...

Why are they now calling it a sexual offense?
I'm baffled....

My heart hurts...
 
Does anyone know status of "mom" charges? When does she go on trial? Tia

Here is Heather Moore's response:

Heather Moore ‏@HeatherMooreNow 6m

@ginaXmachina That specialist couldn't make a match. She sent to another specialist for analysis. That's as far as we've gotten in testimony
 
Kelli O'Hara ‏@Kelli_OHara 10m

Judge ruling jury can hear SBI analyst's findings on semen fluid & where it was located on clothing of defendant and possible victim
