Ontario Provincial Police Const. Gary Scoyne showed court several items seized from the home that Rafferty’s then-girlfriend Terri-Lynne McClintic told them were used the day Tori was killed.
Also among them were a pea coat like the one McClintic said was used to cover Tori in the back seat of his car, and water bottles with caps like those found in the garbage bag containing Tori’s remains.
McClintic is already serving a life sentence after pleading guilty to first-degree murder in Tori’s April 2009 death.
Rafferty has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, sexual assault causing bodily harm and kidnapping.
