The State called a waste truck driver who testified he noticed a heavily weighted black trash bag he deposited at a South Florida landfill site — and that it came with a distinct smell.

The State used that testimony and additional evidence to illustrate the scale of the search and why Cozzi's body may never have been recovered.
