Nick Kasotis

And unfortunately, you're going to hear about the dismemberment.

Baio showed the weapon found near Mindy's mangled body.

A Milwaukee, orange handled, black sheathed knife.

Kasotis' DNA was not found at the crime scene, but that knife is the same brand investigators say as the one seen under his arm.

That's him on surveillance from Home Depot.

On the same day that authorities say Mindy may have been murdered.

The state calls Samantha Kolyasnik to the stand.

Along with the facts and forensics, the jury heard tales of betrayal, including one by Kasotis' third wife, Samantha Kolyasnik.

She believed she had married a loving widower, but later learned that Mindy was still alive when Nick first started messaging her.

She had no idea that he was leading this double life.

Traumatized, violated, deceived.

Samantha also told jurors Nick wanted to quickly start a family.

Retired Commander Cameron Nelson described to Nick that she and others had once believed was an honorable, proud patriot.

Kasota, she told the jury, stepped up and stepped in.

But that same Nick Cassota, she says, also betrayed her trust.

When he told her that his financial accounts had been hacked, she lent him money and even gave him a credit card.

Not a penny.

The man Cameron thought was a patriot now seemed like a calculating con man.

First wife Heather Thomas testified about her own betrayal with its court order for Kasotis to pay up on their divorce agreement.

Put me through a lot of emotional stress.
