We already knew there was a tooth found in this case. I don’t think we knew it was found at the spot of alleged burning. Nobody has yet said in trial that it’s
#KelseyBerreth’s tooth.

The burn area was about 5 feet wide by 7 feet long, and it was covered by about 1-2 inches of soil that differed in color from the rest of the driveway.

An FBI special agent testified the tooth almost went undiscovered. He told his crew during the Dec. 2018 search that they'd take 1 more shovel full of soil from the burned area to sift, and it was in that dirt that the tooth was found

Under the top layer of dirt, there was a layer of melted black plastic. An FBI agent testified that he smelled ash and smoke while removing the dirt, and he smelled burned plastic when he began removing the plastic.

Also: FBI found 3 bats inside
#PatrickFrazee's Florissant house, all wooden, as well as a wooden club in a pickup truck on the property. There wasn't any testimony this afternoon on whether investigators suspect Frazee used any of those bats to kill
#KelseyBerreth.

FBI analyst said wet spot in dirt had an oily consistency, it stuck to investigators’ gloves and dirt from there was hard to sift.

We’ve been walked through multiple searches of
#PatrickFrazee ranch. On one of first searches involved multiple FBI evidence teams, ~100 search and rescue personnel and seven cadaver dogs. Didn’t find much, but this is before Kenney told investigators what she knew.

But when
#PatrickFrazee's mistress, Krystal Lee, came forward a few days later, she led them to the burn area covered in dirt. It was where Lee prevoiusly testified it was -- on a dirt driveway, uphill and in sight of Frazee's house.

Multiple special agents from the FBI have taken the stand testifying about their search efforts after Kelsey Berreth went missing this afternoon. One agent spoke about finding a tooth on Frazee’s property.

Seven dogs were brought to
#ParickFrazee's ranch during one of the searches in December 2018. The dogs were trained to find the scents of human remains, flesh and blood, but did not find anything, an FBI agent testified.

Back to the burn area: When special agents first searched
#ParickFrazee's ranch on Dec. 14 & 15, 2018, they didn't find any burn areas, old or new, FBI agents testified.
