  • RECAP: Brendan Banfield Trial Day 3 - Crime Scene Photos, Survelience, and DNA

    RECAP: Brendan Banfield Trial Day 3 - Crime Scene Photos, Survelience, and DNA
    Jan 16 2026
    Day three of the Brendan Banfield trial focused heavily on crime scene evidence, surveillance footage, and extensive DNA analysis. Jurors heard from multiple Fairfax County detectives, forensic specialists, and lab experts who walked through graphic crime scene photos, bloodstain patterns, and physical evidence recovered from the home.

    Testimony detailed the discovery of weapons, blood-soaked items, and a backpack containing items linked to the crime scene. Surveillance footage from McDonald’s was introduced, establishing a timeline of Brendan Banfield’s movements and phone calls in the minutes leading up to the 911 calls.
    The court also heard from firearms experts, fingerprint analysts, and forensic scientists who explained DNA testing on the knife, clothing, shoes, bedding, and other surfaces.

    Several samples showed mixtures of DNA from Christine and Joe Ryan, while other samples were inconclusive due to lab limitations. Y-chromosome testing was also discussed to explain how male DNA was evaluated when mixed samples were present.

    The state is nearing the end of its case, with only two witnesses remaining before it is expected to rest. Court will resume Tuesday following the holiday break.

There’s so much to say about what I love about this podcast it would take a lot more space than provided here. GiGi does her research well and the format and the way it’s presented is top notch.

By far the best true crime pod cast out there. I highly recommend listening to these two southern women hash out cases in real time. Nothing but facts, a whole lot of good intentions, and some laughs along the way.
