I missed Carol (Jen's mom) testifying in court today, as well as Autumn (the bank employee that GR asked for a three-way with). Those who went to court today, feel free to add, as I'm sure I forgot some things.
Synopsis of today's proceeding: Officer testified that GR showed up at the Y on 12/11/12 around 12:30 (sauna). They spoke briefly. GR said he was cold from running. ES took the stand. She was Cara's girl scouts leader, starting in 2006. She started working out with Jen at home in 2012. In 02/2012, ES and GR started their affair. Between 2006 and 2012, the friendship was inconsistent, but prior to 2012, ES and Jen rekindled their friendship. In 02/2012, ES started talking with GR about quitting smoking and getting healthier. GR offered his basement gym for her use in 02/2012. ES said Jen didn't know about the affair at this time.
ES had sex with GR oftentimes in Jen's home when Jen was working at her part-time job. ES said Jen did all of the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and taking care of the kids (bringing them to/from school, etc.). She said "we were really close." ES and Jen were together every day. The affair started when ES was working out in Jen and GR's basement. GR came down and asked her if he could kiss her. ES said he could. The DA asked her how often ES had sex with GR. ES said "All the time." When ES was not with GR, GR texted her "all the time." Both ES and GR talked to their respective spouses about divorce in the Summer of 2012. In the Fall of 2012, GR pressured ES to leave her husband, saying she deserved better and that he (GR) was all she needed. GR also pressured ES for sex every day. During the end of 11/2012, GR sent the email to ES that said he would do anything and everything for her and their relationship. When they broke up and ES went back to her husband, GR told her to return the cell phone that he bought her and dresses he bought for her ("Knowing you will be wearing them for your husband while *advertiser censored**ing him *advertiser censored**ing destroys me. Enjoy *advertiser censored**ing him. You did this by lying. I was the only one totally blindsided...You used me like a tampon and flushed me. Don't ever think of me again..."
ES and GR got back together on 12/10/12, one day before Jen was murdered. ES and GR had sex that day and made plans for their future together. They went up to Wappanocca Rd. together in GR's van. ES said she didn't know that Jen went to see a divorce lawyer. On 12/11/12, the day Jen was killed, GR called ES and asked him for a ride home from the Y. She gave him a ride home, and wasn't invited into the house to have sex with him. This was unusual she said, because he normally did. GR said he couldn't get in touch with Jen all day that day. ES said that normally, Jen and GR texted frequently throughout the day. On 12/12/12, ES went to the police department to tell them that Jen had been playing online games with others. ES said Jen would never leave her kids. ES said she was "overwhelmed by it all," that she loved GR, and that GR never looked for his wife. GR asked ES to move in both before and after Jen's body was found. ES received a stack of graphic, sexually explicit FB messages from GR. They were entered into evidence. Ditto for the transcripts of phone conversations between ES and GR when GR was in jail.
While Jen was missing, GR changed ES's mailing address to his own, without her knowledge. Same thing for her email address. He set up email accounts for ES under the name "EIILEEN RAMSARAN" before he was arrested for Jen's murder. GR asked ES to send him nude pictures prior to his arrest. She agreed and sent them via her cell phone. Prior to his arrest, GR physically pulled ES back into his house when she went to leave. He was screaming at her for 20 minutes and wouldn't let her leave. The kids were downstairs at the time. ES eventually stopped taking GR's phone calls from jail. She was arrested for contempt of court for refusing to answer the summons for her to appear in court. She said she was only there to testify because she "had no choice."
Deputy Hayner testified that she looked for Jen's found in the same location it was eventually found by GR, but never saw it there until GR showed it to her. It wasn't there the previous two times she looked there for it. Deputy Hayner found Jen's body over an embankment on Center Rd. in the Town of Pharsalia.
