HOLLIDAYSBURG Witnesses told a Blair County jury Friday that Paul Aaron Ross wore the type of athletic shoe linked to footprints found in an area of Canoe Creek State Park where Tina S. Miller was found dead in 2004.
Ross, the last person to be seen with the 26-year-old Miller, went on trial this week in Blair County Court, charged with first-degree murder and related sexual assault offenses.
Testimony, which resumes Monday, is expected to extend through next week.
“The pace of the trial is moving along,” President Judge Elizabeth Doyle said Friday in court before dismissing the jury for the weekend.
