Welcome back.

Joining me for this week's Roundup is Dateline producer Rachel White.

Rachel, thanks for being with me.

So our first story, we head to New Jersey for an update in the trial of Paul Canero.

He's accused of killing his younger brother and business partner, Keith, along with Keith's wife and kids, then setting their house and his own on fire in an attempt to cover up the crime.

He's pleaded not guilty to all 16 charges against him.

So, Rachel, it's week three in the trial and prosecutors are still making their case.

What's new here?

So the crime scene detective walked through the evidence recovered from Paul Canero's Ocean Township home and Paul's wife's Porsche after the murders.

Prosecutors allege that the Porsche was the vehicle Paul drove home from the murders.

What did they find?

And prosecutors talked about that bloody clothing in their opening statement, specifically a pair of jeans they say belong to Paul Canero.

Let's take a listen.

So, Rachel, the point the prosecution was making here was why would Paul Canero have the children's blood on his jeans, and why would those jeans be in his basement?

But the defense pushed back on whether the prosecution could even prove the jeans belonged to him.

OK, well, lots more to come in this trial.

Paul Canaro, as we said, has denied all of this.

Okay, for our next story, we're headed to Kentucky for an update in the case of Crystal Rogers, the mother of five who has been missing from Bardstown since July 2015.

Her body has never been found.
