Retired FBI agent's testimony to continue this afternoon with other witnesses in the morning at N.J. mom's murder trial.
NEW BRUNSWICK -- Retired FBI agent Ron Butkiewicz is expected to continue testifying in Michelle Lodzinski's murder trial this afternoon.
There will be other witnesses this morning after some legal argument, but Middlesex County Assistant Prosecutor Christie Bevacqua told Superior Court Judge Dennis Nieves the state hopes to rest its case Tuesday.
Lodzinski is on trial for the murder of her 5-year-old son, Timothy Wiltsey in May 1991.
Butkiewicz is being cross examined by Lodzinski's attorney, Gerald Krovatin.
Wednesday, he acknowledged that none of the items found in the search that uncovered Timmy Wiltsey's remains in Raritan Center in Edison--a sneaker, a blanket, a pillow case, and remnants of clothing, had any blood or forenisc evidence that linked it to the boy.
The remains were found 11 months after Lodzinski reoprted her son missing the evening of May 25, 1991 from a carnival in Sayreville. She told police that she went to buy a soda and he was with her, but when she turned around after paying for the soda, he was gone. In the weeks following his disappearance, she changed her story and said he was abducted by a woman named Ellen and two men, according to testimony at the trial.
Lodzinski was charged with her son's murder in August 2014 after the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office reopened the case in 2011.
