Thomas, joined them for part of the time. “Chris Schoenborn was kidding us about being rich city folks, while he was just a poor dirt farmer,” Titgen related. When the group broke up, Titgen said, he went up to his room, but Kraft said he had to make some telephone calls first. Kraft had already left town when the two bodies were found two days later. But keys found in his hotel room fit Alt’s car. Alt’s mother, Thelma, told jurors that she recognized them. Schoenborn’s mother, Carol, provided the most detail. She identified her son’s jacket in detail, down to the Velcro pocket flaps and marks where an identification tag she had made had been torn out She was able to describe the belt not only in size, 34, but in width-she had taken her tape measure to the store when she bought it for him to make sure that it would go through the belt loops of his pants. She also identified two feather inlets in the belt, one on each end. She identified the boots by the thick black heels and the laces.
