Prince George, B.C. – The  murder trial of Cody Legebokoff continues.

Yesterday, the court heard from  retired Sgt. Norman Striker. He was the  head of the PG RCMP detachment’s Forensic Identification Unit when the body of 15 year old Loren Leslie was found off highway 27 in November of  2010.

Striker  identified for the Court, a series of photos he had taken of the  scene where  Loren Leslie’s body had been found, photos he had taken during the search of  Legebokoff’s truck, and photos and evidence gathered  at Loren Leslie’s  autopsy.

He described  images of her hands,  of  injuries to her head,  of the tattoo that was on  her inner  right wrist.  While the photo only captured the word “grip” he told the court the full tattoo read “Grip fast”. 

Loren’s father Doug has  previously  said the two words are the family’s motto.

Among the images,  Striker described photos of  pieces of carpet taken from the  truck,  pieces of carpet which had red stains on them, stains  a  sample kit  indicated were likely blood.

Legebokoff is accused of murdering Loren Leslie,  Natasha Montgomery, Cynthia Maas and Jill Stuchenko.  The trial is expected to last  6-8 months.
