[FONT="]Dr. Cynthia Beisser, deputy coroner:[/FONT] [FONT="]
-The body "somewhat decomposed," (could be due to the summer heat); evidence that hands had been tied behind her back, and ankles taped together. [/FONT]
[FONT="] cause of death, "asphyxiation due to mechanical obstruction of the mouth," Beisser: the yellow object found in Joughin's mouth (a dog toy), was roughly the same size as her oral cavity. "If you fill the oral cavity completely, you are essentially cutting off both ways of getting air," Beisser said.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]several contusions on left leg, difficult to identify due to decomp; hairline fracture to the occipital bone.
Date of death is when found/recovered, cannot determine an exact time. Alcohol found in her system is not indication of intoxication, but a natural byproduct of decomp.
Saw no evidence of brain trauma, could not determine the cause of the fracture to head.
[/FONT][FONT="]no evidence Joughin was still alive when she was buried, such as foreign matter in the lungs, throat or nasal cavities.[/FONT][FONT="]
When asked if she could confirm no evidence of secual assault she replied: [/FONT][FONT="]"That's what I understand; I didn't get the report back,"

[/FONT][FONT="]examination of tire marks found near probsble abduction site
[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]The red pickup did not match the casts, Davison said, and the front tires on the green truck could have created the impressions, though not exclusively.

[FONT="]"Other manufacturers' tires of this type may be indistinguishable from the submitted evidence,
Jessica Mendofik, a forensic scientist with the Ohio BCI
analyzed a palm print and two latent prints found on the helmet. palm print was inconclusive to Worley, Joughin and Jackson Vandenbusche (son of farmer who retrieved the helmet from the side of the road )
[FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="] inconclusive does not mean the individual did not create the print, only that it cannot be determined for certain. One latent print belonged to Jackson; the other conclusively did not belong to Jackson or Worley, and was inconclusive to SJ.
Maj. Matt Smithmyer of the Fulton County Sheriff's Office
Grew up 1/2 mile from Worley farm, had fished in pond behind Worley barn as a child. Knew JW for 40, years, was questioning JW at the farm when SJs body was found.
Tood about *advertiser censored* videos accessed by JWs computer: many of young girls, kidnapping, bondage and forced, rough sex.
"The females all appear to be scared, not having any control of the situations,"
reviewed evidence he collected from the shop and barn. He said he removed some items from a black bag inside the green wire crate in the barn, photographing them as evidence.
In green crate: lingerie, bondage restraints, ball gags, adult diapers, white tube socks (similar to what SJ wore when found), industrial zip ties and rope, and other items.

[/FONT]
When asked if the crate resembled one to hold rabbits (as JW said he intended to use it for), he said he didnt think so.
some items would be common to find on a farm (ex. Gloves, duct tape)
jury saw [FONT="]security cameras footage located at the Evergreen schools, which seem to show Worley returning to the suspected abduction site late in the evening on July 19. Though Worley initially told investigators he had not returned to the site to search for items he'd reportedly lost there a screwdriver, sunglasses, automotive fuses he recanted after being advised of the footage, telling investigators he had only been hoping to distance himself from their questioning.
Expect defense to present their case on Friday. tentative date to jury on Monday. [/FONT]
