The Lincoln Journal Star reports that Sgt. Richard Zimmerman and Capt. Russ Kalkwarf of the Saline County Sheriff’s Office testified Thursday in the first-degree murder trial of 52-year-old Aubrey Trail. The officers testified that investigators found pieces of 24-year-old Sydney Loofe’s driver’s license and her cellphone in ditches along Nebraska 41. They also found articles of Loofe’s clothing.

The testimony came a day after an FBI agent testified that Loofe’s body had been cut into 14 pieces. Only 13 were found.

Trail has said her death was an accident during a consensual sex fantasy. On Monday, Trail yelled out in court that his co-defendant, Bailey Boswell, was innocent before slashing his throat. He was treated with stitches, but has refused to return to court since.
