her came to the club that Wednesday, before his interview with Detective Perry, asking if anyone knew or saw anything that weekend. He said he did not give the name of "Hawaiian Brian" to the victim's mother. He said the defendant did not appear to have been in any kind of fight or struggles the second time he came to the bar .
Cleo Hogan was a meteorologist in September, 1990. He testified that based on weather records for that area, the humidity in Port Royal State Park on the morning of September 9, 1990, would have been about 90 percent or higher for the hours between midnight to sunrise. Additionally, he stated the humidity would have been 90 percent or higher from September 10 through September 12. Based on weather records, he also testified there would have been rainfall during that time, sometimes moderate, sometimes thundershowers, and sometimes light. Similarly, he testified the temperatures were reported as a high of 91 degrees on September 9, 88 degrees on September 10, 92 degrees on September 11, and 78 degrees on September 12, due to the rain. He said the temperatures were five or six degrees above normal for that time of year.
On cross-examination, he testified that it also rained on September 7 and 8. He said his readings were based on reports from Fort Campbell and Nashville and that he extrapolated in order to determine amounts of rainfall and weather conditions in Port Royal State Park, which is located between the two cities. He said he had no personal knowledge of rain and temperature at that time.
Larry Green, who was a commanding officer of the Criminal Investigation Division with the Robertson County Sheriff's Department, testified that on the evening of September 12, 1990, he went to the Alley farm on Port Royal Road where he initially observed the victim's body. In order to identify the body, he said he was provided with information about a missing young white female from Clarksville with a clothing description of black flat shoes, a pale denim skirt, a dark colored top, and a denim jacket with a belt. He said the clothing on the victim matched the description. He said they measured the distance from the victim's right heel to the roadway as 21 feet. The body was identified through dental records as Jamie Marable, the victim. He testified that the victim's shoes were later found approximately eighteen feet from the tree where the body was laying. Additionally, they found cigarette packs, beer cans, other cast-offs, and the victim's scalp. He testified that the victim's body was found with her head positioned downhill. Additionally, there was a fair amount of testimony as to the location of the body in reference to some of the nearby machinery and roadways, specifically that the body was 265 yards from some heavy equipment. Essentially, Detective Green testified that the body was not in the immediate proximity of either and was clearly in Robertson County.
He testified that on September 13, 1990, he went to Greenfield's quarry and searched the defendant's truck, a 1984 Chevrolet Silverado. He said he was looking for instrumentalities of the crime, including latent fingerprints. He said that he found none and that the truck was very clean and had been washed recently. He said it is "very unusual" to find a vehicle without latent prints. On September 20, 1990, Detective Green, along with Tennessee Bureau of Investigation ("TBI") agents, conducted another search of the defendant's truck. They collected dirt samples from the truck and the crime scene. He said the defendant's truck was parked in a nearby cave one day. Detective Green testified that they also searched the defendant's apartment, specifically looking for a pair of white basketball shoes,
