FRONT ROYAL — Several prosecution witnesses described Monday at the murder trial of Clay Marshall Curtis what they found at the December 2014 crime scene where the body of Front Royal cab driver Simon Funk was found.
Winchester Police Officer Jason Poe, who was a sergeant with the Warren County Sheriff’s Office at the time of the murder, was the first to discover the body on the property in the Shenandoah Farms subdivision in Front Royal, where Curtis’ sister lived at the time.
Poe testified that he saw a spot in the woods on the night of Dec. 9 that stood out to him because, at that time of year, the woods would have “settled.”
“It didn’t sit right with me,” Poe said of the spot where the body was later discovered.
