Jurors in London, Ont. have heard that two blonde hairs were found on a coat belonging to the man accused of murdering eight-year-old Victoria Stafford.

The detail was shared by forensic experts at the Michael Rafferty trial where the court is hearing about testing done on items found in the 31-year-old's home and car.

Rafferty's ex-girlfriend, who has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in Tori's death, testified earlier in the trial that the pair abducted Stafford together in April 2009.

Terri-Lynne McClintic testified that after luring Tori into a waiting car driven by Rafferty, a black pea coat was placed over the girl as she sat on the floor behind the driver's seat.

McClintic was sentenced to life in prison in April 2010, while Rafferty has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, sexual assault causing bodily harm and kidnapping.

Jurors have heard that a black pea coat matching McClintic's description was found in Rafferty's home. Later on Wednesday, experts from the Centre of Forensic Sciences are expected to share the results of tests done on two blond hairs found on the coat.

The testimony was originally supposed to occur on Tuesday, but was delayed after Rafferty's lawyer Dirk Derstine fell ill with the flu.

Other pieces of evidence discovered in Rafferty's home include a missing-girl poster of Tori and several empty pill bottles, the court heard earlier in the trial.

A gym bag was found in the back of Rafferty's car, where Tori allegedly sat on the floor as she was driven to the rural area where McClintic says she was killed. The Crown has said that a mixture of Tori and Rafferty's blood was found on the bag.

Court has also heard that the back seat of his car was littered with six pairs of shoes and several water bottles of the same brand. Police found more of these water bottles in Rafferty's bedroom.

McClintic had testified that after allegedly sexually assaulting Tori, Rafferty used water bottles from his car to clean himself.

The Crown alleges Rafferty and McClintic abducted Tori outside her school and drove her to a rural area more than 100 kilometres north, where she was raped and killed.
