(August 8, 2007)--Two cousins remained in jail Wednesday on aggravated murder charges after Oregon forensic scientists say a shoe seized from one of those men had blood on it.
The scientists say it was consistent with an imprint on a 15-year-old East Texas girl, who was strangled.
Alejandro Rivera-Gamboa and Gilberto Arellano-Gamboa have been arraigned in the death of Dani Countryman.
The Kaufman teenager was in the Portland area visiting her sister.
One of the men accused of killing Countryman told investigators that his cousin was struggling to hold her down and he helped control her by pressing his foot on her throat.
The two were on the floor.
Investigators say Rivera admitted putting his foot down on Dani's throat until she stopped moving.
