Arochi said Morris was never in his car, but police believe she might have been inside when he was pulling away from the garage in the early hours of that morning.
The last 15 calls on her cell phone, which was either turned off of dead, were to her boyfriend and police said there was no sign of foul play or a struggle near her car.
Police also had a video of him examining strange parts of his car at a grocery store in Allen just hours after Morris was last ween.
Evidence at his trial, which started after he was arrested in December, 2014, showed he was in Anna a day after Morris went missing.
Since then her family and other volunteers, who have not given up hope of finding their daughter, have honed in their search on the area.
They return nearly every week to conduct a new sweep of the town.
