A Chattanooga police lieutenant found Jason Chen's impressions on one of the garbage bags wrapped around Jasmine Pace's body, David Franklin testified.

Now, they are becoming experts -- in fact, they'll likely be THE experts -- in the case of the man responsible for her death. Prosecutors continue on Thursday to work to convince that jury that Jason Chen killed Jasmine Pace in cold blood. Defense attorneys will continue to suggest this was a crime of passion.

Text messages between Jason Chen and Jasmine Pace showed no arguments or disagreements between them prior to her savage murder at Chen's North Chattanooga apartment on Nov. 23, 2022, it was testified Friday. Detective Zack Crawford said out of just under 1,400 texts there was no indication of acrimony between the young couple.

Zack Crawford, the lead detective on the case, said he got involved when a fellow detective called him on Sunday, Nov. 27, and asked if he had been seeing Facebook posts from the Pace family about Jasmine's disappearance. He said he began studying those posts, then soon got a call from his supervisor asking him to look into it.
