Michigan Detective GRILLED Over Dumpster BLOOD and Google Searches in Ashley Elkins Murder Case

In Michigan v. DeAndre Booker, the State’s case has been building around three key threads: surveillance video, physical evidence, and digital data. This segment captures a crucial moment on Day 2 of the preliminary examination, where a detective is pressed by the defense to define exactly what he saw, what he concluded, and what he could prove. Booker stands accused in connection with the death of Ashley Elkins, and the court is determining whether enough evidence exists to bind the case over for trial. Every answer here matters because at this stage, the State must still show probable cause that ties the defendant to the crime. On direct examination, the prosecution had the detective walk through how he reviewed security footage from three apartment complexes along Pinehurst. The focus zeroed in on the northernmost complex, Huntington Manor, where video captured a figure pushing a shopping cart toward a dumpster. The State presented this as more than idle movement as the figure appeared to be lifting something heavy, possibly wrapped in white material, into the container. A later search of that dumpster revealed blood, and in the State’s telling, this sequence forms a bridge between the missing person report for Elkins and the defendant’s alleged actions. The prosecution bolstered the picture with excerpts from Booker’s phone, including searches about firearms accessories and a phrase that could be read as violent intent. The defense used cross-examination to dismantle that bridge, plank by plank. The detective admitted the videos never showed a face, and the lighting made it impossible to confirm race. His suggestion that it might have been a body came from investigative context, not from any definitive visual. He conceded that the heavy object could have been furniture or any other large item. As for the blood, he could not measure it, date it, or personally confirm when the dumpster was last emptied all key facts that could dramatically shift the weight of the evidence. On the digital front, he acknowledged that one alarming search term was tied to a satirical podcast, and he agreed that people search for crime-related or provocative content without acting on it. This is where the legal stakes sharpen. Michigan law requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt at trial, but even at a preliminary exam, the State’s evidence must connect identity, timing, and intent. Identity is undermined if the person in the video cannot be conclusively recognized. Timing falters if the blood’s presence cannot be firmly linked to the alleged crime window. Intent weakens if the search terms can be explained as curiosity, entertainment, or satire. The defense’s goal here is not just to poke holes but to make those holes large enough that jurors could later drive reasonable doubt through them. On redirect, the prosecutor reclaimed some ground, reminding the court that search results do not materialize on their own and someone must think of the phrase, type it, and hit search. That small point is meant to feed into a broader narrative that such thoughts could reflect preparation or planning. But the defense has already planted the idea that thought alone is not action, and curiosity is not criminal intent. This clip is more than a duel over one witness. It’s a snapshot of the entire case dynamic: the State building a circumstantial chain and the defense testing every link for weakness. Without clear identification, a locked-down timeline, and intent proven by more than suggestive searches, the prosecution’s chain remains incomplete. The central question for the judge at this stage is straightforward: Do these surveillance frames, this blood evidence, and these search terms combine into a reliable picture of guilt? Or are they separate, ambiguous pieces that cannot, even together, exclude reasonable alternative explanations?
