Michele Anderson, 37, is on trial for killing six members of her family on Christmas Eve 2007 in Carnation.
Prosecutors called a witness Monday who said the shoes worn by Michele Anderson and boyfriend Joseph McEnroe put them at the crime scene and prove they dragged two bodies outside.
Prosecutors say Anderson and her boyfriend Joseph McEnroe murdered her family because she was upset about money.
Anderson was angry her parents asked her to start paying rent and utilities for the mobile home she shared with McEnroe on her parents' property, according to detectives.
Investigators say she also claimed her brother, Scott Anderson, owed her thousands of dollars.
Prosecutors said Anderson and McEnroe went to the Carnation home armed with two handguns and the trust of her family.
Two of the victims were Michele Anderson's parents -- Wayne and Judy Anderson.
According to detectives, the couple murdered the Andersons then hid their bodies outside and waited for Scott Anderson and his family to arrive.
Scott Anderson was shot next, then his wife, Erika and children Olivia, 5, and Nathan, 3, according to investigators.
Joel Hardin, a retired U.S. Border Control Agent, who was used as a tracker at the crime scene, testified Monday.
He examined footprints at the crime scene. He said it was clear from the marks in the muddy grass that two bodies were dragged outside.
He said the shoe prints matched the shoes worn by Anderson and McEnroe. He showed photos of the treads on their shoes and compared them to footprint diagrams.
Investigators say the couple left the murder scene and returned a couple of times.
The bodies of the victims weren't discovered until Dec. 26, 2007.
Michele Anderson and Joseph McEnroe came home to find the property surrounded by investigators. Prosecutors showed the jury video of the Anderson and McEnroe arriving at hte crime scene on December 26, 2007.
Prosecutors said the couple never asked if Anderson's family was okay.
Detectives interviewed Anderson and McEnroe separately, and say both eventually confessed to the murders.
Last spring, Joseph McEnroe was convicted of six counts of aggravated first-degree murder.
He was sentenced to life in prison after the jury could not agree on the death penalty.
The death penalty was removed as a possible punishment for Anderson after McEnroe received a life sentence.
Prosecutors believe McEnroe and Anderson are equally responsible for the murders.
Anderson has not cooperated with her defense attorneys, often refusing to meet with them.

The defense did not make an opening statement, instead waiting until the prosecution is done presenting its case.
