An RCMP officer who examined sites where two of Cody Alan Legebokoff's alleged victims were found testified Monday as the trial for the accused serial killer resumed at the Prince George courthouse.
Cpl. Kimberly Tremblay took the jury through photos she took of the scene where Loren Donn Leslie's body was found Nov. 28, 2010 near a gravel pit off Highway 27 north of Vanderhoof.
Tremblay put out placards where RCMP found in the snow-covered site a tire track, a footwear impression, a shoe, blood and some light-coloured hair on a branch
A photo marking the start of a small trail into where Leslie's body was found was also presented, as were images of a broken branch and the tree from which a branch was missing.
Tremblay said the tree was located at the foot of where Leslie's body was found and the branch was found just off the path. The hair was found about halfway along the trail into Leslie's body, the court heard.
Droplets of blood were noticed along the snow and the area appeared to have been swept, Tremblay said.
She and a fellow officer went to an undisturbed area nearby and "using a tree branch we were able to recreate a similar type sweeping motion in the snow."
Casts of the tire track and the footwear impression were taken by a fellow RCMP officer for comparison by Tremblay. The shoe was seized and the tree also cut down for later examination, Tremblay said.
Photos of the body before it was taken away were also presented to the jury.
Tremblay was qualified as an expert in examining, measuring and photographing crime scenes and in analyzing fingerprints and tracks left by footwear and tires.
