But crown has to prove more than that Amber was in camper, has to prove he killed her

Just an update on what they are doing right now--possibly this is why everything seems to be slow.

This is succinctly said by Mr. Beswick. I think that could indicate the bag has some importance and they want to review it for the jury a few times. :)

Just a little bit more on the black tank top found in Falconer's vehicle--Mr. Beswick calls it a 'muscle' shirt-but I think that would be what it is called if it belongs to a male.

I think it was Amber's so it is called a 'tank' top.

CH_Aaron Beswick‏@CH_ABeswick7m
So the dates of the receipts link the shirt to a time frame but not strongly

CH_Aaron Beswick‏@CH_ABeswick7m
Also in the bag, strongest evidence so far, was a muscle shirt with Amber's DNA on it - blood

CH_Aaron Beswick‏@CH_ABeswick8m
Notable, but my strong evidence, is that receipts are for days before and after Amber's disappearance

I'm not really sure of the spelling of this witness' name.

I went back through my comments to correct it to agree with the way Mr. Beswick of the Chronicle Herald is spelling it.

This is a picture of Amber's foot with the star tattoo on it. (I don't ever remember seeing a picture of the butterfly on her shoulder.)

I needed to see it whole, on her delicate foot complete with her toenails perfectly painted. I didn't want to leave in my mind the other image.
