Investigators discuss their evidence

Luis Rodriguez’s son takes the stand

By BRAD DICKERSON
Glasgow Daily Times

Skaggs said the wooded area was first searched because of statements the three subjects had made about losing personal items as they ran into the woods once shots rang out.

Items discovered included a red bandanna, a camouflage toboggan and a red and white Nike tennis shoe, according to Skaggs.

Driver previously testified that he had lost one of his Nike tennis shoes while running into the woods.

Large blood pools were also found near the outbuilding, Skaggs testified. A single 9mm shell casing was also discovered with the aid of a metal detector.

On Oct. 23, Skaggs said he was asked to examine David Houchens’ black Dodge pickup for any blood evidence.

Houchens allegedly told police that he and Haynes threw Rodriguez’s body off a bridge and then tried to wash the blood from the bed of the pickup truck used to transport it.

Skaggs testified he found what appeared to be blood underneath the bed of the truck and under the bed liner.

By Oct. 24, Skaggs said a search warrant was obtained for Haynes’ home at 184 Lacefield Dr. He was not home when investigators did their sweep.

Recovered items included several guns, $3,000 in cash, digital scales, a paper receipt for Louisville Hydroponics Garden Supply, a cellphone and two address books that had listings for David and Barry Houchens, according to Skaggs.

On cross examination by Butch Turner, one of the defense attorneys, Skaggs said he not only sought a search warrant for Barry Houchens’ property initially on the night of Oct. 19, but also a second one for his clothes and person to test for gunshot residue.

A search warrant was also requested for Josh Houchens,’ Barry’s son, for his clothes and person so the same test could be performed.

Skaggs testified that investigators immediately stopped searching Barry Houchens’ house when they were alerted that the shooting had actually taken place at David Houchens’ residence.

He also said neither Barry or Josh Houchens were located on the evening of Oct. 19 and never tested for gunshot residue.

Turner pointed out that the affidavit for a search warrant of Barry Houchens’ residence contained information that an indoor grow operation was on that property.

“This statement was given by somebody that we had talked to,” Skaggs replied.
