State Police forensic scientist Marci Adkins testified Wednesday in the Leslie
County murder trial of Charles Dwight Watts, the man accused of murdering Kelly
Johnson and Chad Muncy in 2009. Adkins, who tested swabs of blood found in the
door frame and steering wheel of Watts '
car, testified that it matched Chad Muncy's DNA in all 15 locations that she
tested. During cross examination, the defense pointed out the only time Watts ' DNA was found was on a floor mat in his car. In
Kelly Johnson's murder, police collected three cigarette buts from an end
table, but Adkins said those all had the same DNA, but testified it did not
match the murder victim or Watts .
