Ashley Baskerville, 21, had a stocking stuffed in her mouth. Her head, mouth, nose and one eye were wrapped in silver duct tape and bag was placed over her head. An examination of her body, however, did not reveal evidence of any stab wounds—wounds Dandridge claimed in his Jan. 7 statement to Philadelphia police that he had inflicted upon Baskerville.

Photos showed Baskerville’s mother, Mary Tucker, 47, had a sock stuffed in her mouth and a virtual mask of duct tape wrapped around her face and head, while curlers were still in her hair. She had also been cut and stabbed, though not fatally, in the chest and neck area.

Finally, Herring produced the photo board of Percyell Tucker, 55. The first photo showed his head covered in clear plastic wrap. Underneath the wrap was duct tape covering his right eye, nose and mouth. A white sock had been used as a gag. Tucker also had suffered five cuts and stabs to his neck area and a blow to the forehead, none of which were fatal, said Trelka.

The sight of Percyell Tucker’s autopsy photos, glimpsed briefly by family members seated in the courtroom, caused several of them to turn away and shift uncomfortably in their seats. Dandridge sat still, seated between lawyers Claire Cardwell and Cary Bowen.

The court recessed briefly at 10:30. Cross examination of Trelka was expected to follow.
