McVay faces a charge of first-degree murder in the disappearance and death of Carrie Olson of Davenport, Iowa. The eighth consecutive full day of his trial was set for Wednesday, June 24, 2015.
It’s a bench trial in Rock Island County Court with Judge Michael Meersman presiding.
Tim McVay's ex-wife, with whom he has two children, was the first witness to testify as his trial continued Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Her testimony was followed by two crime scene technicians who gathered evidence after Carrie Olson was reported missing. Representatives from Sprint and Verizon Wireless testified about text message and cell phone records gathered by their companies at the request of police.
Tammy Hegi, the woman with whom Tim McVay traveled to Las Vegas, previously gave nearly two hours of detailed testimony about her relationship with Tim McVay, their December 2013 travel to Las Vegas, and other conversations she had with him before she broke up with him in March 2013.
Forensics experts testied about the recovery of Carrie’s body, and the autopsy they performed. While they were able to determine her death was a homicide – later defined as being caused by another person – the exact manner of Carri Olson’s death remained undetermined.
Carrie’s parents, best friend, sister and brother-in-law have already testified about how and when they discovered she was missing. Bank employees testified about some unsuccessful attempts by someone to use Carrie’s debit card to get gas and cash. A Davenport Police officer has also testified about taking a missing person report from Carrie’s parents. Investigators from Minnesota testified about their work when Carrie’s body was discovered there.
McVay’s parents have also testified about their interactions with Tim before and after Carrie Olson was reported missing.
