GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A Brown County Murder Trial heads into its 2nd week today.
On Friday, the jury learned of the evidence that led to the arrest of Doug Detrie for the murder of his girlfriend Nicole VanderHeyden in 2016, and also learned why Detrie was released from jail 18 days later.
“all these pieces of evidence we thought we had turned out to have answers for them.”
Detective Brian Slinger said that included DNA test results and results from samples of blood that were found that may have linked Detrie.
“the one swath from the car, that wasdeemed to be blood, was not Nicole’s blood.”
Despite being the defendant in the case, George Burch’s name was barely brought up in court the first week.
That is expected to change this week.
Burch himself could take the witness stand himself to tell his side of the story.
