About
Brittany Burke Pickle, a crime-scene analyst, testified on Day 14 about documenting the Alabama recovery site where five bags were found in a wooded area off a logging road. She described marking the bags and their sealing, cold storage, and later transfer to Lexington County. The parties stipulated that DNA-analyzed remains would identify the child assigned to each bag.
When her direct testimony resumed, Pickle identified written recovery summaries for Elias, Merah, Gabriel, Abigail, and Nahtahn Jones, including the associated bags, clothing, and coverings. She also described vehicle evidence that Stacy Jones had collected, sealed, opened in her presence, and inventoried.
The court admitted State's Exhibit 167, containing Dollar General trash bags recovered from the vehicle, after Pickle testified that its SKU matched the barcode on State's Exhibit 65. The court also admitted State's Exhibit 168, a broken-buckle belt packaged with two other belts from a sealed box from the Cadillac Escalade. The defense asked no questions during the resumed direct testimony.
