GUILTY ND - Savanna Lafontaine-Greywind, 22, pregnant, Fargo, 19 Aug 2017 #3

[Spellbound]

Gosh, this is a difficult day. So gruesome. I feel for any family members in the courtroom. It's beyond awful what they have to endure still.

Thanks Emi for the continued updates!

Ness helped process the crime scene, specifically in the bathroom. Ness worked specifically with blood detection, used to detect any traces of blood in this case. #HoehnTrial #SavannaGreywind

Angeline McCall on Twitter
Angeline McCall‏ @amccallWDAY 19m19 minutes ago
Ness says that he used a chemical known as 'luminol.' It creates a chemical reaction with the components of the blood, and the traces turn up blue. #HoehnTrial #SavannaGreywind

Angeline McCall on Twitter
Angeline McCall‏ @amccallWDAY 18m18 minutes ago
Luminol will detect blood for a great deal of time, but not necessarily over years. Intense cleaning will also eliminate traces of blood luminol picks up. #HoehnTrial #SavannaGreywind

Angeline McCall on Twitter
Angeline McCall‏ @amccallWDAY 15m15 minutes ago
The first photo shown of the crime scene shows a trace of possible blood, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's blood. They have to send it off for lab analysis. #HoehnTrial #SavannaGreywind

Angeline McCall on Twitter
Angeline McCall‏ @amccallWDAY 12m12 minutes ago
We're seeing very small areas in the bathroom that the luminol picked up including the floor, toilet and the shower curtain. These traces were sent off to the lab. #HoehnTrial #SavannaGreywind

Angeline McCall on Twitter
Angeline McCall‏ @amccallWDAY 11m11 minutes ago
Agent Ness says that he never saw a lab report and results from the swabs did not come back positive, to his knowledge... indicating the crime scene had been 'dexter-ed' (like the TV show where they try to cover up crimes). #HoehnTrial #SavannaGreywind

Agent Ness is now being cross-examined. He says that it's not all that surprising that biological fluids would not be found after intense cleaning or after days had gone by after a crime took place. #HoehnTrial #SavannaGreywind

McCloud says she has always known William Hoehn as 'Billy.' McCloud says that Brooke Crews gave Hoehn an ultimatum... either to be in a relationship with Brooke or keep a friendship with McCloud. McCloud says she kept talking to Hoehn occassionally #HoehnTrial #SavannaGreywind

Hoehn says that he thinks the farmstead on the Minnesota side was a 'set-up'.. That it seems like someone placed a breast pump there and red paint inside. Everything was not related to Savanna's case. #HoehnTrial #SavannaGreywind

Angeline McCall on Twitter
Angeline McCall‏ @amccallWDAY 3m3 minutes ago
Side note: If investigators could have placed Hoehn and Crews in Minnesota at that farmhouse, this case would have turned into a federal case with a death penatly. #HoehnTrial #SavannaGreywind

Investigators ruled out the farmhouse as a crime scene within days of Savanna's body being found. #HoehnTrial #SavannaGreywind

Angeline McCall‏ @amccallWDAY 1h1 hour ago




Grub says that Hoehn told him that he cleaned up blood, wrapped up the body in some trash bags. He then put the body into a hallow dresser, nailed the back to the front and the next day.. he took Savanna's body in the dresser out of the apartment.
