One day after slashing his own neck, Aubrey Trail chose not to be present for his murder trial in Wilber on Tuesday.

Trail, who's accused of murdering and dismembering Lincoln woman Sydney Loofe, shouted, "Bailey (Boswell) is innocent and I curse you all!" Monday morning before slashing his neck with an unknown object.

Trail was taken to a local hospital to receive minor stitches and was back in custody by Monday afternoon.

Trail's condition remains unknown. It's also unclear if Trail will be seen in the courtroom at all for the remainder of the trial, which could go as late as July 19.

Testimony started around 8:50 a.m. Tuesday, about 10 minutes earlier than normal.

By the end of the day, Saline County District Judge Vicky Johnson said things were "pretty much back on track" in terms of the trial's schedule.

Much of the testimony Tuesday morning focused on Trail and Bailey Boswell's whereabouts in late November 2017.

Trail and Boswell stayed in several hotels from Nov. 24-30. Trail and Boswell were arrested on the 30th at the Windmill Inn in Branson, Missouri.

Trail and Boswell had also made stops at hotels in Spencer and Ames, Iowa.

They were taken into custody around 6 a.m. on the 30th. The vehicle they were traveling in was a silver 2006 Chrysler Sebring Touring obtained from Kaitlyn Brandle.

New evidence presented Tuesday showed that Trail traded his black Ford 500 for the Sebring on Nov. 23. Trail also paid Brandle $1,000, according to a handwritten bill of sale.

Subsequent searches of the Sebring and hotel rooms turned many pieces of evidence, including a pocket knife, brass knuckles, sex toys, a map of the Texas/Mexico border, three cellphones and blood stained boots.

It was determined that both the boots and blood on them belonged to Trail.

The most compelling piece presented Tuesday morning was a more than seven-minute video posted to Facebook by Trail on Nov. 29.

Boswell never speaks in the video, and Trail's face is mostly cropped out. Boswell's face is clearly visible, and she appears to be holding the phone on which the video was recorded.

In the video, Trail claims that he was "crucified by the newspapers and social media," regarding the disappearance of Sydney Loofe.

Trail admits that he had a criminal background in "fraudulent checks and things like that," but he does not claim responsibility for Loofe's death or disappearance.

"I hope that Sydney is found soon," Trail said in the video. "I'm sorry that her family has to go through this."

After the noon break, testimony shifted to how Loofe's body was found, and what investigators did upon discovery.

Robert Hurley, an investigator with the Lincoln Police Department, studied extensive records on three cellphones - two belonging to Boswell and other to Trail.

Hurley noticed that the phones were mainly in, or east of Wilber, except one day - Nov. 16.

The last time anyone heard from Loofe was the evening of Nov. 15. So, Hurley mapped where Trail and Boswell's phones traveled on the 16th by using real-time technology (RTT) data tracking.

Hurley says this type of tracking was his idea, and he estimates it "hasn't done by anyone, anywhere" in terms of finding a missing person.

In short, any time Boswell or Trail's phone used data on Nov. 16, Hurley was able to see which cell tower received that information.

After seizing search warrants from Verizon on Nov. 21, cell tower "pings" showed the phones traveling south and west of Wilber.

Records show that Boswell and Trail left Wilber around 2:20 p.m. on the 16th and were back in Wilber by 5:45 that same afternoon.

Eventually, data led authorities to the intersection of Nebraska Highway 74 and County Road S in Clay County.

Searches started on Dec. 3, and the first remains of Loofe were discovered on the evening of Dec. 4. The first evidence found was Loofe's upper arm.

A tattoo that read "everything will be wonderful some day" is how investigators identified the arm to be Loofe's.

After darkness shortened a search on the 4th, more than 50 investigators from the Clay County Sheriff's Office, Lincoln Police Department, Nebraska State Patrol, FBI and Department of Homeland Security converged on the area of Highway 74 and Road S on the morning of Dec. 5.

Teams were assembled to search surrounding square miles, particularly County Road 305 between Roads S and X.

In total, Boswell and Trail traveled 21 miles on gravel roads in Clay County on Nov. 16, disposing of Loofe's body and other evidence in an area that covered more than eight square miles.

Eli McBride, a special agent with the FBI who's testified two days in a row, said investigators found Loofe's remains and other pieces of evidence in 17 different areas, or "scenes."

Trash bags containing the pelvis, torso, a severed foot, parts of an arm and other remains were found throughout the day on Dec. 5.

Authorities also recovered 11-13 boxes of Hefty trash bags. Each box contained 17, 30-gallon bags.

Trail faces the death penalty if convicted of first degree murder.

The trial resumes on Wednesday morning at 9 a.m.
