Caitlin Schmidt The man accused of kidnapping and killing 6-year-old Isabel Celis has now been charged with promoting prison contraband, a felony, while his murder trial continues.
People are also reading… Earlier Tuesday, before Clements' arraignment on the new charge, his attorney, Eric Kessler, called the first defense witness in the murder trial. Kessler showed the jury a minute-long video with Hanson attempting to recreate Isabel's abduction through her bedroom window. Hanson struggled to get into the bedroom easily, but was able to crawl out of the house while carrying a 40-pound doll. He told the jury it was difficult to enter the room without knowing what was on the other side of the window.
Hanson said his questioning of Becky Celis about whether her husband was possibly involved in Isabel's disappearance was"pressing to get to the truth," but that there was never a formal investigation into Sergio Celis as a suspect. Clements previously told police he was sleeping in on the morning of April 21, 2012 and didn't start his day until around 11 a.m., but Ray testified that Clements' phone was in the recovery area from 9:20 to 10:17 a.m.
A handful of images shown to Ray and the jury placed the area where Isabel's remains were found right outside of the tower's coverage area. Ray said he first saw the slides a few weeks ago, after being contacted by the defense. He said he first mapped Clements' phone movements in early 2020, shortly after being contacted by the prosecution and after a major update had been performed on the TraX network.
