And that, prosecutors said, was precisely why Tim killed Jay.
Detective Ryan Baker told the jury about another message Jay sent Tim right after he left Tim's apartment in a huff.
The prosecution argued Tim took that message as a threat that Jay was going to out him.
Chief McCutcheon said the motive came down to one word.
The prosecution argued Tim lured Jay back with a promise of sex and then murdered him.
To show Tim's true intention, the prosecutor asked Detective Baker about a Google search he found on Tim's phone.
One the detective told us was a critical piece of evidence.
How long does it take to strangle someone?
Yes, five minutes before Jaylee got there.
It helped us come up with intent to kill.
And if that wasn't incriminating enough, the prosecution had an ace in the hole.
Prosecutors showed jurors that video of the jogger running away from the Molly Bar Trails apartment complex where Jay's car was found and later getting into a white car at a gas station.
Keziah Carter told the jury he was driving the white car that morning and he picked up the jogger because he knew him.
The prosecutors showed jurors how Tim drove that box truck to his parents' house, loaded it with a wheelbarrow and shovel, then left his cell phone in his parents' home as he disappeared for almost an hour.
And they showed the jury Tim's conversation with police at his apartment, where he lied repeatedly.
