"What did you do with this pickaxe when you received it into your lab?" Prosecutors asked.
"I examined it for blood and it did have some stains that tested positive for blood. I also examined the head of the tool which was dirty. And, I removed the dirt that was adhered to the surface and underneath that dirt, I found what I thought could be ashes and human remains embedded in the eye of this pickaxe," Katherine Dace, Forensic Biologist with Idaho State Police testified.
