Eisenhauer says to the MoCo deputy: "I want to help (find Lovell). I want to be helpful. I didn't do anything wrong. But I know you have a right to hold me up to 24 hours without charging me with anything."

Eisenhauer asks the deputy if he thinks "there is enough evidence to convict me?"
No audible response from the deputy.

They are not to take what he said on the interrogation video as evidence.

Okay. Are they showing the video in the courtroom with instructions to ignore what the agent says? That seems confusing....or I am confused (strong possibility!).

It's like he thinks he'll get off because he's done his homework.

I wish they would post that whole interrogation video. Sounds like DE was aware of what would happen when they brought him in. Looking up for a camera, knowing they could hold him for 24 hrs, etc.

During an interrogation, LE will often lie or embellish to try to get a suspect to tell them what happened. For example, they could say (just an example as I haven't seen the actual video) "we have a shovel with Nicole's DNA and your DNA on it" when really, they haven't actually tested anything. So when the jurors watch the video, anything the investigator says should not be taken as actual fact. It could just be interrogation techniques.

How soon after Nicole's murder was the interrogation of DE by the FBI Agent?

Hours, days? I can't remember

Court is on a 10 min recess

It is confusing. My layman's take is that they may not take into account "as evidence" anything that was said by either party in the interrogation video. But anything he testifies to outside of that is fair game for jury to consider. Anyone, please correct me if I am wrong.

I am confused as to why the judge let the interrogation video into the court room at all then...

Good question. She was still missing when LE first talked to DE, right?

Yes, they found the kik communication with he and Nicole

Yes, they found the kik communication with he and Nicole

Had he not cleaned himself up yet at that time (at the FBI interrogation)?

 

[BUF]

Had he not cleaned himself up yet at that time (at the FBI interrogation)? Nicole's DNA was under his fingernails

Don't know...maybe still had traces?

If I were on the jury, I'd like a written transcript of the video with just DE's statements on it. That would make it much easier to disregard the agent's statements. It's hard to unhear what you hear.

I thought it was DE's DNA under Nicole's fingernails.

This arrogant clown really thought he was going back to his dorm. “I have to get up at 6:30”

Yes, thanks, Details! You are correct:

Montgomery County, Va., Commonwealth’s Attorney Mary Pettitt told the jurors in her opening statements that Eisenhauer’s DNA was found under Nicole’s fingernails and her blood was found in the trunk of his car.

IIRC Pettit said her DNA was found under his fingernails. The ME said DNA was found under her fingernails...but we haven't heard yet whose DNA. I suspect it was his because of the gouges on the side of his nose....hope I haven't gotten this wrong!

Pettitt told jurors they would hear an array of evidence that included Lovell’s DNA being found beneath Eisenhauer’s fingernails and in the trunk of his car, his online searches for ways to dispose of a body, and his planning the murder with another Virginia Tech student, Natalie Marie Keepers.

IIRC it was within the first 24-48 hours after she disappeared. LE found her social media accounts quickly because she had written the userID's and passwords on her bedroom wall.

Detective from Blacksburg PD is now talking about items seized from DE's room while he was being interrogated

Now talking to Det Hite, who went to NK's boyfriend's place to talk to NK. This seems to be moving pretty quickly
