  • "So essentially I saw what appeared to be a bag of garbage. I knew that we... found Victoria Stafford," Smyth testifies

Smyth says“I took a minute to let it sink in and once I gathered my thoughts I...looked around "and tried to assess the area. #sl #rafferty
 
I agree with whoever said that it appears TLM had a lot of time on her hands to take in significant details about the area.
 
After making the discovery, Smyth retraced his steps, backed out of laneway and called OPP Insp. Dave Renton

Court is being shown more photos of the area around the crime scene - a rural laneway, high brush - a few trees

Showing more crime scene photos. No longer including close ups of the garbage bag with Tori's body inside of it.

Smyth was on the site until 5:30 pm. Other investigators and Detective Inspector Renton had arrived when he left.

A forensic pathologist and the chief coroner's office also attended. Officers guarded the s nee as well.

I am thankful somebody like Smyth found Tori. Very thankful. As a seasoned police officer he would know scene of crime protocal. Better him than somebody like the shoe lady or some other person walking their dog.
In some way I see him as one of Tori's angels.
