BATESVILLE, Miss. — A more concrete timeline of Jessica Chambers last day was testified in Saturdays session of court.

In the morning cell phone records showed that Tellis’ phone number was in the top 10 contacts in Chambers’ phone, with 111 calls and 75 messages.

Mississippi Bureau of Investigation agent Timothy Douglas said he thinks the state of mind of first responders could’ve impacted their percention when they heard Chambers say someone named “Eric” or “Derek” burned her.

Paul Rowlette of the U.S. Department of Defense was called an expert witness as he had a spent a large time studying Chambers phone records as well as the connection of key suspects to Jessica.

Rowlette put together a comprehensive slide show of the massive amount of data gathered from multiple people’s cell phone “dumps.”

Rowlette described these cell phone dumps as a massive amount of data given to him for text messages, calls, phone calls etc.

Rowlette’s begins a timeline of Jessica’s last day.

These were Chambers last calls, says Rowlette’s

 

The defense cross-examined Rowlette mainly asking questions to build uncertainty on the information just presented.

Court will begin tomorrow at 1 p.m.

Here is a recap of what happened Friday:

An investigator says a man charged with burning a Mississippi woman to death acknowledged that he was with her on the evening she was set on fire after repeatedly denying it.

Mississippi Bureau of Investigation agent Tim Douglas testified Friday in the trial of Tellis, who has pleaded not guilty to capital murder in the death of 19-year-old Chambers.

Prosecutors say Tellis thought he suffocated Chambers during sex in her car, and then used gasoline to set her and the vehicle ablaze along a road in Courtland, Mississippi, on Dec. 6, 2014. She died at a hospital.

Douglas says Tellis was interviewed twice and Tellis said he only seen her that morning. Douglas interviewed Tellis three more times, and Douglas said he finally acknowledged that he was with Chambers in the hours before firefighters found her severely burned next to her torched car.

Tellis told an FBI agent he was miles away buying a deit card when she was set on fire.
