Police procedure following the discovery of Loren Donn Leslie's body was the topic as the trial for accused serial killer Cody Alan Legebokoff resumed Monday at the Prince George courthouse.
The head of the RCMP's forensic identification section in Prince George, Sgt. Norman Striker took the stand and, in the process, took the 14-person jury through a crash course in evidence collection.
Striker, who is now retired, showed the swabs of blood collected Nov. 28, 2010, the day after Leslie's body was found near a gravel pit off Highway 27, about half way between Vanderhoof and Fort St. James.
He also described how the casts of footprints and tire tracks were taken at the scene.
In addition to Leslie, 15, Legebokoff faces charges of first-degree murder in the deaths of Jill Stacey Stuchenko and Cynthia Frances Maas, both 35, and Natasha Lynn Montgomery, 23. Montgomery's body has never been found.
