Testifying on Friday morning, the first person to discover the Renee Sweeney crime scene in 1998 described what he saw as he and his fiancée walked into the adult video store.
The identity of the witness is covered by a publication ban.
He testified that he and his now wife were students at Laurentian University on Jan. 27, 1998, when they decided after class to grab a coffee at Country Bagel, located in the same Paris Street strip mall where Sweeney worked.
They pulled into to the strip mall, arriving just before 11:30 a.m., parking near Country Bagel. They decided to rent an adult movie and walked up the front sidewalk along the mall and walked into the Adults Only Video store.
“The store looked empty ... There was nobody at the cash at the back right corner,” he testified.
“Then I noticed there were some things knocked over from the shelves.”
