New records show another woman saw a UT student after she was carjacked, but before she was murdered earlier this month.
More details about the deaths of Channon Christian and her boyfriend Chris Newsom were revealed in documents filed in Knox County Sessions court this week.
According to a search warrant executed January 24, police have talked with a fifth person who says she witnessed Christian being held.
According to that search warrant, a woman saw Christian alive at the Chipman Street house, and her account of what she saw helped officers target specific evidence.
The warrant explains "she witnessed the victim's mouth being cleansed with some type of spray bottle of cleaning supply contained within the residence."
On Wednesday, police went back to the house where Christian's body was found inside a garbage can.
Records show police seized a spray bottle, empty garbage bags, carpet samples, and the lint trap from a dryer.
The search warrant explained the "Knox County Medical Examiner opined that fibers consistent with the carpet were found in victim Christian's hair."
The warrant also said "the woman also witnessed clothing stained of blood and smelling like gasoline being placed in the washing machine of the residence."
The medical examiner found Newsom's body had been bound and physically assaulted, then burned using some sort of accelerant.
Meanwhile, Letalvis Cobbins and George Thomas, who were arrested in Kentucky following the deadly carjacking, appeared in a Knoxville courtroom for the first time Thursday.
Both the victims' families were in court again, leaning on each other and exchanging hugs.
Both Cobbins and Thomas pleaded not guilty, were appointed defense attorneys and waived their rights to request bond.
They will remain in jail along with Cobbin's brother Lemaricus Davidson and Eric Boyd.
Cobbins and Davidson could face the death penalty if convicted.
Thomas could spend more than seven years in prison, if convicted of helping Cobbins and Davidson evade arrest after the carjacking.
