The items seized from Joseph Duncan’s red 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo are being introduced into evidence now, one by one, including Duncan’s green “Tommy Jeans” jacket with bloodstains that when tested showed Dylan’s DNA; a laptop computer (with a sticker on it proclaiming “I’m on a mission from God”); a GPS unit; and much more. Yesterday, in his opening statement, U.S. Attorney Tom Moss said the jacket has blood from both Dylan and Shasta on it. It was found on the passenger seat of the Jeep.

Detective Fred Swanson has been called back to the stand to identify the various items of evidence, following the day’s seventh witness, Officer Shane Avriett, who told of Shasta’s rescue in the middle of the night at a Coeur d’Alene Denny’s and his conversation with the little girl right afterwards, in his patrol car, while other officers handcuffed and arrested Duncan.

Court is now adjourned until tomorrow morning at 9.
