His trial began last week.
Frattolin has pleaded not guilty to both charges and has been held without bail since his arrest in July 2025.
On Wednesday, the jury heard testimony from two investigators who challenged the version of events presented by Frattolin, who said his daughter had been abducted.
The prosecution also presented more details on the events that led to the recovery of Melina’s body in a wooded area near Ticonderoga, N.Y.
