A second search warrant was issued for Massey's cowboy boots. Massey admitted to police that he was present during Saunders' murder. OSBI wants the boots to extract forensic evidence, including any blood samples that may further link Massey to the murder.

Massey's wife tells investigators that the boots he was wearing at the time of his arrest are boots he wears the majority of the time.

Saunders' dismembered body was found in October, stuffed in a duffel bag behind a Homeland grocery store in Bethany.
