Schueneman is showing the jury a pair of black and white shoes that was seized from Jimmy Rodgers' home in the summer of 2015. Mummert asks if there are visible signs of blood of the shoes and Schueneman said it's hard to tell because the shoes are black.

The next witness called to the stand by the prosecution is Jeffrey Conway of Potosi, Missouri. He was Rodgers’ boss in 2015 and testified last month during the Rodgers trial.

Conway said he and Rodgers both worked for a contracting company that supplied laborers to a mining and battery recycling business in Missouri called Doe Run during his testimony in the last trial.

Conway is talking about the toxic materials found in the batteries recycled at Doe Run. Doe Run provides protective equipment, gloves, hardhats, coveralls and other tools to prevent contamination to its employees and contractors, Conway said.

Conway identifies Rodgers in a photo. Rodgers was wearing a black T-shirt that had a photo of the lamp from the move "A Christmas Story." The T-shirt said, "Major Award" below the lamp.

Rodgers was trained on how to avoid contaminants while working with the toxic materials at Doe Run, Conway said. Wright did not work at the plant, Conway said.

While working at the plant, workers either wear an acid resistant or flame resistant coverall, Conway said. Doe Run issues the suites as employees enter the plant, Conway said.

An employee can change into a new coverall as often as they want to, Conway said.

Employees wear latex gloves underneath leather gloves and sometimes they tape the sleeves and pant legs of the coveralls, Conway said.

Conway is talking about the decontamination process at Doe Run. Employees are also required to have their blood tested once a month for lead levels, Conway said.

A lot of time is being spent asking Conway about the decontamination process at Doe Run in Missouri.

Conway said he has never found a Doe Run coverall on the side of the road. Highway 47 runs from Cadet, Missouri to where Doe Run is located, Conway said.

Doe Run is located in a rural area of Missouri, Conway said. It's a wooded area with a lot of trees, Conway said.

The next witness is John Long, he is a captain with the Lee County Sheriff's Office. He is the commander of the forensic division of the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

In 2015, he was the assistant commander of the forensic division. I don't believe Long testified during the Rodgers trial last month.

On June 30, 2015, Long was on the scene of the Sievers house where Teresa Sievers body was found. He returned on July 1, 2015 and did a quick walk through at the home.

During the investigation, Long attempted to collect video from the Bonita Springs area that would be useful in the investigation. He collected video from several local businesses.

Taylor must be coming up next, or very soon, because they are laying foundation for all the evidence gathered from their home.

BEACH Good to read your posts! How, in your opinion, is this case going so far? I got a horrible (sinking) feeling when you mentioned TaySho because I'm going to get really perturbed if MM questions her in a demeaning manner. She may not be a sophisticated city girl, but she took police to important discarded evidence!

In August 2015, Long attempted to collect video from Doc's Beach House on Bonita Beach Road. A GPS collected in the investigation pinged in the area but there was no video available at Doc's, Long said.
