CENTENNIAL — Aaron Thompson of Aurora is on trial in Arapahoe County District Court in the death of his daughter Aaroné, who was reported missing in 2005.
The girl would have been 6 years old at the time of her reported disappearance, although police believe she died two years earlier. Her body has not been found.
Electronic devices cannot transmit from the courtroom, but The Denver Post is providing trial updates when possible.
2 p.m. Aurora police detective Randy Hansen testifies that one of the sons of Shelley Lowe, Thompson’s late girlfriend, told him that he helped bury Aaroné’s body.
The boy, who is now 18, took Hansen to that location. Police used ground-penetrating radar and examined the area but did not find any place where the ground had been disturbed.
Hansen said police received numerous tips from citizens and even psychics as to where the little girl may have been buried. They checked most of them out but did not find anything.
“You never found a body?” defense attorney James Karbach asks the detective.
“No,” Hansen replies.
