GREAT BEND, Kan. (AP) Defense attorneys for a Kansas man accused of killing a 14-year-old girl have begun presenting their case.
The defense is trying to raise doubts about the state’s case against 38-year-old Adam Longoria of Great Bend. He’s charged with killing Alicia DeBolt, whose charred body was found in August 2010 at the asphalt plant where Longoria worked.
The first defense witnesses on Thursday testified about various vehicles they saw leaving the asphalt plant in Great Bend during the night the girl disappeared. None of descriptions matched that of the SUV Longoria was driving.
But on cross examination, prosecutors pointed out that the county road used by the asphalt plant also is an access point to a river.
