  Bonnie Sievers was not a suspect in the case, but DNA was collected from her just in case her DNA was found at the Sievers house.

The defense is now cross examining Martinez.

Assistant Public Defender Donald McFarlane asks what her primary involvement in the investigation was.

Martinez said it was attending the autopsy. Martinez was never at the crime scene she said.

   McFarlane asks if fibers can be picked up sitting on a car seat or on an airplane.
   
   That's it from Martinez and she is released.

   Downs said he observed pry marks on a garage in the door of the Sievers house during his investigation.
   
   The pry marks did not appear consistent with the force needed to actually pry the door open, Downs said.

A few days after the death Downs reported to a dumpster to look at computer equipment that was thrown out.

The dumpster was located at the Sievers medical practice.

   Downs went to Hillsboro and first talked with local law enforcement.
   
   The reason Downs went to Hillsboro because Curtis Wayne Wright lived there.

   While in Missouri he ended up at the residence of Jimmy Ray Rodgers and Taylor Shomaker, Downs said.
   
   It was a "cold contact," he said.
   
   At the time Downs did not suspect Rodgers or Shomaker of anything, he said.

   Downs arrived in Missouri on July 10 and did not expect to stay there.
