A dresser that had been changed into some sort of gun cabinet . . . 3 guns in 3 cases in the bottom portion - standing upright.
#325 area (upper shelf) above gun cases. . . . case did not appear to have a lock - had a piece of string - may have been tied shut . . . could shut it and it would stay fairly closed.
#324 - top of cabinet the guns were in - with sticker "Sonny Allen" name . . .large amount of quarters sitting on top of dresser/gun cabinet.
One item reported stolen from living room and one from gun cabinet.
About 3:40 pm when officer arrived @ this residence. He got call approx 10 min prior to his arrival. Another officer showed up and a resident of the home showed up @ 4:00 - that person was JA -
KF talked to JA about missing items . . . she checked her room/living area in the residence and discovered money missing. A $20 and $10 bills were missing from a dresser or bedstand in the room. . . . open drawers but nothing else missing . . her laptop wasnot stolen - it was in underclothes in clothing basket. She normally kept her laptop in there to "keep it safe so it would not be stolen".
Pictures #337 - 340 admitted
JA stated she left @1pm and officer arrived @ 3:40 pm . . .
#337 - dresser the money was allegedly on top of ($30 total) grey(green) round laundry basket is where she put her laptop under clothing. . . he didn't see computer come out of basket.
#338 - dresser (built in?) in her room with 1 drawer (4th down) was open a few inches . . .

4 rooms - 4 items taken . . . KF has responded to 50-60 burgleries in his career . . . strange the "change" (quarters) were not taken and only 1 gun from the gun cabinet - while others were left there.
Cross . . .
Rash of Burgleries in Yreka area at that time . . . small town - a "rash" could be 2 or 3 in a row . . . home/residential burgleries.
Call on 5/28 - Allen home - mud carried inside . . . doesn't recall much - on back patio - wet mud outside the door and directly inside (first couple of feet) . . . scuff marks - appear to be footprints.
Garbage bag full of aluminum cans - worth money . . . don't know the going rate for aluminum per Pound in Yreka @that time.
no lock on gun cabinet - i don't recall if latch to put a padlock on . . .didn't recall any cut locks or forced entry into the cabinet. Anyone living in that home could open it and gain access to the contents without disturbing or breaking cabinet.
Prosecutor -
A "rash" of burgleries . . . 2 or 3
Any connected or like the one on Pine Street?
No . . . they were not . . . .forced entry into the residence but everything of value that a person could get @ the time was taken . . . 4 or 5 guns - all the guns were taken in that one.

..... (Missed some)
pg. 30 line 10 transcript -
objection he doesn't remember . . . Ask the question
you made comment "obviously you guys wanted to keep this relationship hidden"
who were you referring?
JA and TA
Kept relationship hidden from everyone else because nobody really knew about it
yes
maybe you were going there just to talk to him and have a good time and something got out of hand.
I don't remember
Pg. 55 line 5 transcript.
DA - now do you recall saying that statement?
F - as far as this transcript says - I would prefer to see the video
DA - you don't look like a person who would plant something like this
F - that is correct
Prosecutor- was that a belief or technique
Technique
Kept it hidden, finances were an issue, planned - all techniques? yes
step down

Det. Flores--witness for the prosecution
--During the interview Jodi made a statement about Travis appearing to have money but her really didn't.
--Flores made a reference to "you guys kept this relationship a secret". Flores was referring to Jodi and Travis. Flores commented that maybe Jodi had gone to Travis' place to "have a good time". Flores does not remember saying that and the Defence directs him to read the transcript. Flores says he would prefer to see the video instead of the transcript.
"You don't look like a person that would plan something like this, you're just not that person".
Redirect
Prosecution: "were the questions you asked an interview technique?" Flores states that all the questions referenced by the defence were interview techniques.

Michael Melendez - Mesa PD - assigned to computer forensics unit - Det. - computer related evidence examinations and collections of evidence.
he would collect evidence, then write blockers so it couldn't be changed, finally examine
He would examine hard drive not the tower or monitor - because that is where data is stored. Connect hard drive to write blocker - it prevents his computer from altering the drive . . .he used forensic software - endcase (encase?) - make a copy from the drive to keep original in pristine form - conduct exam from a mirror image of hard drive.
what are you looking for what do you do on mirrior image. . initially look for software - user account info, last time computer was shut down, time and date and any other info contained in that . . . .
anything with cameras?
yes - something similar to camera in a computer is a SD card or memory stick - try to see what is in there.
connect it to a card reader with USB cord then connect to write blocker and make a mirror image and apply software available to see data.
There was a laptop he initially worked on. .... if they are done with something they can hit delete and it is off monitor and then hit delete again that doesn't go away.
A computer has an operating system . . . ie: XP, windows8 etc. . . .the area assigned to that file can be used for a new file.....there are areas the deleted item goes to and stays there until something comes along to overwrite it. . . .
you have a file cabinet - a folder in that cabinet - if you take out old files and replace with new files you have overwritten them.
New files can eventually overwrite old files and then old ones would not be there anymore.
on camera - if it is deleted - works in same fashion - storage space in the media card - called unallocated space because it doesn't have a file (or name) assigned to that specific area.
more like a way to index where you put things but lost your index card - don't know where you put that stuff. . . . look around in that space I search for file header - specific file header - if those files are in unallocated space it would show me a "hit" where those files are (might be)
You can go into unallocated space - different ways to look @ with the software- image view (like thumbnail view - multiple images you can look @) . . .thumbnail - when you take a photo it takes a large image and a small thumbnail image. . . . if you delete large image the thumbnail may still be there if the area is not overwritten with new info.
thumbnail is a smaller image. What the software does - hexview - letters, imageview - thumbnail view - image you can recover.
Exhibits #214, - camera - digital camera - need to have power source - officer bought the power source - he didn't have one the battery was dead needed to maintain power.
Turn them on . . .point and click the button. right & left handed . . . .button is on top right side - take it out to look @ it.
Come back @ 1:25 after lunch.

January 14, 2012 morning testimony
Michael Melendez--witness for the prosecution
--works for Mesa PD. In June 2008 he was a detective in the computer forensics department. He conducted examinations of computer related evidence. Did forensic examinations.
--Prosecution is walking Melendez through the steps of what he examines and why. Melendez takes the hard drive and connects it to a device that makes it incapable of being altered. A copy of the hard drive is made to work with. The original is kept.
--Looks at user account information, and last time computer was shut down. Melendez also looks at cameras. Looks at the memory cards in cameras. Similar process used to examine memory cards. A mirror image is made and software is used to look at the information.
--Melendez initially worked on a laptop. Prosecution asked about deleted information...what happens to deleted information on a computer? Melendez is explaining how the operating system deals with deleted information. Deleted information stays in the operating system until new information is added to the open space. The operating system will overwrite the deleted information when the space is needed. Prosecution is now asking about deleting information from a camera/media card. The unallocated space doesn't have a file assigned to it so it sits empty until the computer needs the space. Investigators can look into unallocated spaces. Melendez uses forensic software to look at these unallocated spaces.
--Forensic software will show thumbnails of images.
Exhibits #214, 215, 220
#214, Camera--Melendez explains how a digital camera works. Battery in the camera was dead. Melendez used a power source instead of a batter. The button to take photos is on the top of the camera.
Lunch break.

playback, menu, delete, select which pics to delete, then actual delete images selected.
A directed file that is deleted shows when it was taken and when deleted.
An unallocated space files may have only partial of the file and/or partial images
The blurry pics were thumbnails - when make them bigger they become blurry.
If the camera take thumbnail and a larger image . . . when you delete - the deleted ones may be overwritten but the thumbnail may have not been.
Exhibit #164 - #169 - female Defense Atty looks @ them . . . JA looks on -turns head slightly to get a better view.
Defense asks if they can approach . . . .

#164-169 are admitted . . . the dates and ties are from en(d)case . . .
JA is bowing her head and trying not to look @ picture . . . but she strained to see them when Atty was holding the pics.
Image of a female
#166 - image of a male = bottle of personal KY lubricant - 6/4/08
#165 - 6/4/08 - 1:44 pm
#167 = foreground . . . can't make it out
#166 - could it be the same bottle of personal lubricant? objection - top is blue, white in body of item. . . . . believe it is the tv in the background.
Why so blurry? that is a thumbnail . . . .the larger the picture the smaller you make it loooks more clear - but small to make bigger becomes blurry due to pixelation.
Unallocated clusters - unable to locate a date and time.

January 14, 2012 afternoon testimony
Michael Melendez--witness for the prosecution--works for Mesa PD. In June 2008 he was a detective in the computer forensics department. He conducted examinations of computer related evidence. Did forensic examinations.
#214, Camera--Melendez explains how a digital camera works. Battery in the camera was dead. Melendez used a power source instead of a batter. The button to take photos is on the top of the camera.
Lunch break.
(Missed the first few minutes, had to refresh the page)
--Multiple ways of deleting images. Only some of the photos were deleted. This would have been done by choice. There are multiple steps (five) in deleting images.
--The not deleted photos, the witness does not know what they were offhand.
--The forensic software is used to see all the images that were not deleted. There were photos of Travis in the shower and photos of a man and a woman engaged in sexual activity.
#164-169--Images recovered from the unallocated space. Partial images are sometimes found and the information that goes with photos is not found.
--The date and time was embedded on the photos.
--There were thumbnail photos and when they are 'blown up' they are blurry. The larger version of the photos were deleted and may have been overwritten. The tumbnails remained.
--Defence lawyer asks to approach the bench. Photos are entered into evidence.
#164--Date and time is 2008-06-04, 1:42 p.m. Image of a female.
#166--Image of a male and a bottle of KY personal lube. Date in time is 2008-06-04 1:48 p.m.
#165:--2008-06-04, 1:44 p.m. Item in the photo has a blue top and white bottom. Bottle of KY?
#166--Item in the photo with a blue top and a white bottom. TV in the background.
#167--Date and time is 1:47:15 p.m.
#168--Blurry image
#169--No date and time, image is from unallocated clusters of memory.
#141-160
Items also part of the memory card
Dates and times were put there by the camera itself.
#141-- Date is 2008-06-04 at 5:22:24 p.m. Naked male in the shower. View is from the side.
#142--5:22:36, 12 seconds after the first photo. Photo is of a naked male in the shower, view is from the back. Male has back to the camera and has his hands over his head
--photos were most likely taken using one's right hand, otherwise the camera operator would have to reach around.
#140, 5:22:54, Male in the shower with his back to the camera.
The lighting for #140 is darker than #142, the setting may have been changed by the camera operator.
#144--5:23:00, 6 seconds later, Photo is of a male in the shower, view is of the back.
#145--5:23:24, Travis in the shower, view is of his side. Lighting is dark.
#146--5:23:30, 6 seconds later. Almost the same photo.
$147--5:23:40, Travis from rioght side of his face,standing in the shower, lighting is dark.
#148--5:24:48, 18 seconds later. Photo is of Travis standing in the shower, side view of the left side of his face. Shower head appears to be spraying him. In the other photos the side views are of the right side of his face.
#149--5:24:52, 4 second later, Left side of Travis' head as he is facing the shower head.
#150--5:24:56, 4 seconds later, Travis standing in shower, water is spraying the back of his head, shower head is on the right side of the photo.
#151--5:25:00, 4 seconds later. Side shot of Travis in the shower, back is to the shower head.
#159--5:29:20, 4 minutes & 20 seconds later. Photo of Travis in the shower, appears to be sitting, he is looking at the camera.

156 5:27:28

--Camera does have a zoom so it is unknown how close the photos were taken.
Other photos recovered from unallocated portion of the memory stick of the camera.
#161, #162, #163
#161--5:31:14, 45 seconds later. Photo of a ceiling and the upper wall portion of the bathroom. Can see what looks like the shower door . No floor trim seen in the photo. Was the camera right side up when this was taken? Yes.
Can it be determined if the photo was taken right side up? Yes.
Melendez' opinion is that the camera is 2-3 feet, waist high, off the ground when the last two photos were taken.
#162--5:32:16, 62 seconds later. Was the camera right side up or upside down? Camera was upside down when the photo was taken. Floor can be seen in the photo. (This is the much debated photo of Travis being dragged?)
Det. Melendez has worked on hundreds of thousands of photographs in his career. He is therefore able to form an opinion on where the camera was to take these photos. This photo was taken on the ground.
#163--5:33:13. Photo of the floor, can see a mass with reddish lines in the top left corner. Can see the floor. This photo was taken upside down. Camera would have been on the ground.
