A Collin County jury is hearing closing arguments in the Ocastor Ferguson murder trial Thursday morning after the defendant opted to not take the stand.

The case gripped North Texas last year, as detectives uncovered details of lies, an affair, and a heartbreaking discovery in a wooded area of Grand Prairie

Kelley's co-workers at Raytheon called her family out of state after she failed to show up to work for a third day, leading them to contact the police. Ferguson, 33, is accused of murdering Kelley, burning her car in Frisco, and burying her in a wooded area less than half a mile from his Grand Prairie home.The trial of a man accused of killing his girlfriend took a dramatic turn when the wife of the suspect was called to testify. Prosecutors claim Kayla Kelley was killed after discovering her boyfriend was married and then told his wife about their affair. NBC 5’ Maria Guerrero has the story.

A timeline presented by the state suggests what may have led to Kelley’s murder early in the morning of Jan. 10, 2023. Ferguson is later tracked to his work in Grand Prairie where a surveillance camera in a break room captured him holding three mobile phones, one of which is Kelley’s according to police.He proceeded to send multiple text messages expressing concern because she hadn't responded or brought him lunch. One text that was shown to jurors read, ‘Baby where you at’?

Prosecutors also showed records of a new Lyft account created by Ferguson and used to order a ride back home after setting her SUV on fire and abandoning it in rural Frisco.
