The jury trial for Steven Downs, a Maine man charged with murder and sexual assault in the 1993 death of an Alaska woman, began with opening statements on Wednesday.
began Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022 in a Fairbanks courtroom. The Office of Special Prosecutions with the State of Alaska introduced Sophie Sergie, and their version of her whereabouts and events leading up to the night she was killed.
Prosecutors showed jurors a collection of evidence including a picture that was taken the night of her murder. In that picture, she was wearing navy blue pants with an emblem and a blue bomber jacket. Other than the jacket, it was the same clothes she was found in when her body was found the following Monday.
Prosecutors showed a diagram of the bathroom and recalled names of those who entered the bathroom during the time of her disappearance. Prosecutors say one witness went to the bathroom and took a shower much later than usual, around 1:20 a.m. She stated the tub room light was on and the door was closed, which she said was very unusual. On the other side of the wall, there was a shower area, where another student told investigators she heard low muffled noises.
They claimed the crime scene had additional DNA and fingerprints that did not match that of Downs. Hawanic said there were also pubic hairs found that did not match his client. He went on to say the gun found in Down’s Auburn home was purchased in Maine and they have the seller to corroborate the purchase.
Alelkok said that she was with her boyfriend Noah, and they had pizza in her room before they both went back to his room for the night. They asked her many questions regarding what she was wearing to whom Sophie was hanging out with at the time.
