After telling another detective that her truck was the same one shown on surveillance video at the scene where the boy's burned body was dumped, Harris said she changed her story telling him:
"That it looked like her truck but it was not her," Sgt. Harris said. "She gave a drinking location."
Once under arrest, Harris said Nelson's demeanor changed.
Earlier in the day, two cadaver dog experts, HPD K-9 unit Sergeant Jeffrey Bickel and his wife Janae testified that three different dogs trained to detect dead bodies reacted strongly to a box of burned carpeting at Nelson's home.
Sgt. Bickel testified, "There was a very strong odor of human remains there."
She admitted that she was at the site where Jonathan's body was later found. She said she dumped something from a garbage can out of her pickup truck that night, but she claimed to not know what that was.
