The essentials
Crime scene reconstruction scheduled October 3, 2026 continues investigative efforts after Jubillar's conviction.

These continued efforts aim to document spatial relationships and verify details of the case, extending investigative scope beyond the completed trial proceedings as legal appeals prepare for April-May 2027.
