On Day 5 of the trial, the focus shifts—not to what happened inside Jason Chen’s apartment, but to the evidence he left behind.

Sara takes us back inside the courtroom as forensic experts lay out the physical and digital trail that maps Jason’s every move.

The prosecution introduces fingerprint evidence, placing Jason Chen exactly where he didn’t want to be—on the garbage bag that held Jasmine’s body. Cell phone data confirms Jasmine’s phone traveled everywhere Jason's phone went after she was last seen alive. And surveillance footage captures Jason's movements as he transports the suitcase from Tremont Street to Suck Creek Road.

Then, the case pivots to digital forensics, where Investigator Mark Hamilton reconstructs Jason’s timeline with chilling precision—GPS records, cell tower pings, and app data that fill in the gaps between his movements and Jasmine’s disappearance.

Minute by minute, the evidence builds—a text message sent after Jasmine was already gone, a second trip to Suck Creek Road, and a Lyft ride that returns Jason home after abandoning Jasmine’s car.

But one moment lingers more than any other.

In one of the most haunting scenes of the trial, Sara and her producer visit 110 Tremont. They stand on the very sidewalk where Jason dragged that heavy suitcase, seeing the steps, the parking lot, and the path he took with their own eyes.

The evidence tells its own story. And by the end of the day, the jury can see it clearly.
