A 1995 letter from investigator James Box to attorney Julian Bailey confirmed that Eric’s employer, Mike Tuomisto, was prepared to testify that he paged Eric shortly before 9:00 PM. Tuomisto recalled that Eric returned the page within minutes, providing contemporaneous witness corroboration for the 8:52 PM phone call made from Denny’s. This testimony would have directly refuted the prosecution's 2011 claim that the call never occurred—a claim the state relied upon after the original physical phone records went missing from the evidence files.  Would you like me to organize all these rewritten points into a chronological summary of the defense's evidence?
