4:40pm McMurtry is finished on the witness stand. FBI Special Agent Joe Oliver is now on the witness stand.

It is probable that he is the last witness of the day. I'll be back blogging tomorrow morning.

4:33pm McMurtry was asked if he looked for calls only between Jessie and Bobby Cutts Jr. or if he looked for other calls. He said that he asked Jessie's sisters to look at phone records and identify whom she was speaking to on her cell phone.

He said that he found, while talking with Cutts, that the 7:11am phone call was made while Cutts still had Jessie's body with him. This allowed McMurtry and other authorities to change direction and help locate the body.

4:10pm Jessie's cell phone messages are being played. Messages from Thursday, June 14th. Two calls were from Bobby Cutts Jr. telling Jessie that if she wasn't going to drop off Blake, she could have called. A couple of calls each from Jessie's sister Audrey and her mother, Patty Porter. In one call, Porter said she was getting worried.

3:55pm McMurtry testified that a call was made from Bobby Cutts Jr.'s cell phone at 7:11am on Thursday, June 14th.

He also said that he has 3 children and possibly expecting a 4th with Jessie.

3:05pm Cutts said on the tape that everything seems like a movie. Nothing seems like reality and he's not holding up. He says that he cries and stares into space. He says that it doesn't seem like it's real. He then says the last time he spoke with Jessie was on Wednesday night (June 13th).

3:03pm The audio tape of the interview is now being played for the jury. Cutts starts out by saying that it's been a nightmare since Jessie has gone missing. The interview was done a few days after she went missing.

This is the day before Cutts showed authorities where to find the body.

11:27am Kelly said that at one point, not knowing what to do about all the phone calls from Jessie, Kelly turned to Bobby's mother for advice. She also said again that she and Bobby had been separated since February of 2007 and the divorce had nothing to do with this case.

11:10am There are many times during the trial that there will be objections by one side or the other. At this time, the volume is turned down on the court microphones and therefore there is nothing to hear if you're watching on our streaming video on newsnet5.com. This also delays the updates on this blog.

11:05am Kelly said that after that incident, she told Jessie that she and Bobby were happily married.

10:50am In November of 2005, Kelly said that she found a pair of Jessie's underwear in her makeup drawer. She said she found out they were Jessie's underwear because Jessie told her.

9:36am Jennifer Sprout is now on the witness stand being questioned by Assistant Prosecutor Chryssa Hartnett. Sprout says that she has known Bobby Cutts Jr. for about 7 years. She said that there was a time while both she and Cutts were separated from their spouses that they became involved. Both reconciled with their spouses after that involvement.
