bathroom, smaller than I had imagined https://www.ilcd.uscourts.gov/sites/ilcd/files/Govt Ex 19-11.pdf

It's tiny. I could see him dismembering her there, but not dissolving her there in two days. No way.

Interesting, thanks for the info! According to David Parker Ray wikipedia page:

David Parker Ray - Wikipedia


I only briefly scanned the link above regarding understanding human decomposition as I want to avoid looking at graphic human dead bodies in the research, but from the beginning seem to imply leaving corpse out into the open to decompose itself so it’s possible BC may have just went to some abandoned mine and dumped her body there and let it decompose itself knowing that no one would risk their lives going deep in there to search for a body in the imminent future... so yeah reading about David Parker Ray and his Toy Box Car share a lot of similarities with BC way of abducting ZYY.

They checked one mine 30 miles to the south based on a cellphone ping. There are other old mineshafts around the area. However, they have mentioned extensive searching, and they have not catalogued every single place they have searched. It seems they are mentioning common areas that locals would know and think of.

My computer sound is working just fine - I tested a Youtube video.

I can't hear anything on the above video you linked.

I'll play around with this, and see if I can get the sound to work.

FBI Spcl Agnt Michael McGruire handle the Crime Scene Teams gathering evidence in Christensen's Saturn Astra and his apartment. He testified with pictures. They took the plumbing traps from the main bathroom shower and sink & removed & took the bathroom vanity. @willpublicmedia

 

[kittythehare]

Testimony from Charles Hill who bunked next door to Christensen at the Macon County Jail (in protective custody) got a little dicey. He said he was forced to by the FBI, otherwise would not have been there. Says he "took a liking" to Christensen.
Hill was verbally defensive when the defense team asked him to recall exactly what he said to the FBI about what Christensen told him about having a badge and police radio as well as zip ties when Zhang got into his car.

What a gross looking bedroom. I can't imagine letting my boyfriend/husband hang that ugly thing over our bed. Creepy.

This short video clip of LE questioning BC is interesting.

The way he does not answer where he dropped off Yingying is interesting. Its almost like he wants to tell them but knows he cannot. Then shortly afterwards he stops answering any questions.

I noticed their entire apartment was really drab and ugly, no feminine touches, no colour, no pretty pictures.. it looks like a motel-room... not at all homely, no warmth

Have listened to whole thing now (ends a bit abruptly ~56 min. point) -- not sure why some of you have no sound? Of course frustrating to watch... idiot BC starts off trying to be very cool/calm (with no idea how much the police already know); begins to tense up more ~16 min. mark, and then the last dozen mins. are somewhat intense, but of course he sticks to story & gives nothing up. Nothing real new, but interesting to hear his voice, see demeanor, and watch police tactics carried out -- at a certain point you get the feeling they want to reach over, grab him by the shoulders, and shake the crap out of him (in fact I'm sure they wanted to do that, just couldn't).

Anyway, still worried over what stunt the Defense may try to get a mistrial... anxious to get to Friday and see the whole case laid out, hopefully with more answers.

See Gazette link I posted a while ago, today.. not Ben, other guy..
Will probably play line that he didn't give his defense permission to plead guilty.

here comes the dog
McHenry county K9 deputy testifies. His dog in 2017 was trained in cadaver detection, brought to BC's apartment to sniff. Detected a cadaver or remains of one beneath the vanity in the bathroom (AA)
Defense cross-examined, pointing out the dog failed to detect blood stains beneath carpet, calling the dog's cresibility into question. K9 deputy says detecting scents obstructed by something like carpet is a different ball game than scents in open air @

nother FBI Special Agent testifies-- this time, Douglas Seccombe. Works out of the Chicago office, says he was called to head down to BC's apartment in the early morning on 7/1/17, because the Champaign FBI team's search was running long @WCIA3
So Seccombe's team takes over the search. Christensen had already been arrested at this point. The government now presents several pictures of carpet inside BC's apartment where the search team used luminol to detect stains
Seccombe testifies that these stains were likely from cleaning product, as there was nothing visible to the naked eye. Then AUSA Eugene Miller starts presenting physical evidence from the cart..
Miller presents a cut out piece of carpet, piece of drywall, carpet tack board strip, and strip of baseboard. Seccombe testifies all were removed from BC's apartment
The underside of the carpet has a reddish-brown stain on it. Seccombe says it tests positive for blood. All the evidence was turned over to the FBI Springfield office for further testing
