Mr Byrne turned his attention to the evidence of Sen-Constable Cameron Simmons.
He said a crime scene warrant was executed over the Baden-Clay home on April 20, 2012 and remained in force for seven days.
“They thoroughly examined and searched that property for seven days… they had the State Emergency Service conducting a shoulder to shoulder search in the property and the only thing of interest found was a black NAB pen,” he said.
Mr Byrne said he was asking the jury to consider all of the evidence.
“The evidence here is the police did their job, they did it thoroughly looking for blood, for a crime scene, looking for damage. They found none,” he said.
Mr Byrne turned to the evidence of forensic co-ordinator Sen-Sgt Ewen Taylor.
He said Sen-Sgt Taylor told the jury he was very experienced at forensic searching and there was “no obvious indication of a clean-up” inside the house.
He said police went over the house with a “fine-toothed comb”.
Mr Byrne said Baden-Clay was a real estate agent and accountant, not a forensic expert.
“They looked and again, nothing there,” he said.
Mr Byrne said Baden-Clay and his wife were not alone in the house on April 19, 2012.
He said their three young children were also home, asleep.
Mr Byrne recalled the evidence of the accused, who told the jury last week if any of his daughters called out in the house it could be easily heard from another room.
He said the three girls were interviewed by police on April 20, 2012.
Mr Byrne said the eldest child, aged 10, told police she last saw her mum the night before, “on the couch, watching television”.
