Thursday was the last day the seven-woman, seven-man jury sat before the holiday weekend.

The trial heard from several witnesses last week, including two members of Ground Search and Rescue.

Lawrence Corbin, also a volunteer searcher, testified that when he arrived to search at the Sandeson family farm in August 2015, he was told by officials that searchers could possibly find human remains. None were ever located.
