The exacting and sometimes tedious process of introducing exhibits took up much of Wednesday in the Matthew Tornquist murder trial in Rapid City.

Her body has never been recovered, and so prosecutors rely on other physical evidence and witnesses to make their case. SDPB’s Victoria Wicks is covering this trial.
