Prosecutors laid out six photos of men who all look similar to McCullough. Chapman picked one showing McCullough as young man.

She says on Dec. 3, 1957, McCullough walked up to her and Ridulph as they played outside. Chapman ran home to get mittens. When she returned, her friend and the man were gone.

Ridulph's body was later found in a forest.
