Rock County prosecutors are trying to prove a robbery did not occur, when the Lentz family was murdered in their trailer in January 2007. Janesville Gazette reporter Ted Sullivan was in the courtroom Wednesday afternoon. He said a Rock County Sheriff’s officer testified that bank cards and gift cards were located near a purse, and a forensic pathologist testified money was found in Danyetta Lentz’s pocket.

James Koepp is on trial for the murders of Danyetta Lentz and her children Scott and Nicole. Another piece of evidence that doesn’t add up: witnesses say that the victims’ socks were missing. They could tell the victims had been wearing socks because their feet were free from blood. The trial for the 50 year-old Koepp’s trial is scheduled to last two weeks.
