Joseph Duncan just asked his first question on cross-examination, but it was an odd one. The jury had just viewed surveillance video from a Conoco station and convenience store in Kellogg, Idaho where Duncan and Shasta stopped about five hours before she was spotted with him at the Denny’s restaurant in Coeur d’Alene. In the video, a police car cruises past on the street while Duncan is filling up. Duncan asked FBI Special Agent Mike Gneckow, who was on the stand, to look back at the final frame of the video, but the courtroom player had trouble stopping at the final frame. “I saw it even now,” Duncan said. “In that last frame, there’s another police car that comes around the corner – do you have any knowledge of that?” Duncan asked Gneckow. Gneckow looked confused; no second police car was readily visible on the screen. “I just wondered if you were aware of that,” Duncan said to Gneckow. “I was not aware of that, no,” Gneckow responded.
