Aaron has spent the night in the county’s juvenile detention facility. He is now wearing dull green cotton-blend pants with a drawstring for holding them up and a matching green button-up shirt, white sox, and slip-on white sneakers, the standard juvenile jail-issued clothing. He has told anyone who will listen that he is innocent. No one seems to believe him.

The media has become aware of Aaron’s arrest and his name and yearbook photo have already been on the news. People are generally shocked to hear that Aaron has been arrested for killing Wendy. No one saw this coming, but they are also relieved to have the person who committed this horrible crime behind bars.

It is about 10:00 am when Aaron’s mom comes to visit him. Aaron spends most of the visit crying and assuring his mom he did not commit this crime. He doesn’t know for sure who killed her, but knows it was Brad who met her behind the school, not him. Brad had the opportunity and Aaron now remembers Brad did seem upset when he got back to the car.

“Try not to worry too much Aaron,” his mom says. “I will get you the best lawyer I can afford. Please don’t give up. I believe you Aaron.”

Aaron is finding it hard not to give up. He knows he will not do well spending much of his life in prison and dreads the thought. Just ten days ago his life was fine.

Meanwhile, Detectives Baker and Walker continue to put the case together. As they organize and graph the texts, document the evidence, and create a timeline of events, the case starts to come together nicely. There will be an initial appearance in court on Monday and they must be prepared. They also know that more evidence will likely be available once forensic testing is completed. Once they finish, there is not much more to do until more test results come in. By 1:30 pm, they are able to go home to spend some time with family and relax after a long, tiring weekend.

Monday, November 16th

Aaron Livingston makes his first appearance in court at 10:00 am. One of the County Assistant District Attorneys appears on behalf of the state to present the facts detailed in the arrest warrant. Given the evidence of premeditation and intentional murder of Wendy Spire, the District Attorney has filed a First Degree Murder charge against Aaron. The judge reads Aaron the elements of the charge, advises him of his rights, and against Aaron’s Public Defender’s pleas, sets bond at $500,000. He cites the planning and brutality of the crime, as well as community concern as reasons for the high bond. Mrs. Livingston cries softly in the courtroom as she listens to the judge. After the judge is finished, Aaron is led out of the courtroom and back to juvenile detention.

At 1:00 pm, Detective Baker gets a call from the state forensic lab. He is told that the DNA swabs off both leather gloves found in
