CENTENNIAL, Colo. -- The timing is hard to ignore.

The very day after Tony Kovaleski’s 7NEWS exclusive interview, one of Shely Lowe's friends agreed to become a confidential informant.

Tabitha Graves agreed to secretly record several conversations with Lowe.

The jury will get a chance to listen to one of those chats between the two women from Feb. 2, 2006 when they return from their afternoon recess.

Inmate: Thompson Said 'Sometimes You Just Snap'

An inmate in an orange jumpsuit got Aaron Thompson's attention Wednesday when he told the jury he heard the defendant boast of burying a body.

The inmate with five felony convictions said he was offended by Thompson's statement.

"You don't expect to hear someone talk like that, in a callous manner like that," Jessie Reynolds said.

Reynolds was describing some comments he heard Thompson make in January of this year. He said CNN was on the TV in one of the pods in the Arapahoe County jail and he was sitting "3 to 4 feet" away from Thompson at the time.

A story about a missing girl in Florida, Caylee Anthony, was on TV, Reynolds said. He said the inmates expressed surprise that a parent could kill their own child and that's when he heard Thompson say, "Sometimes, you just snap and then you deal with the consequences."

Reynolds then described how inmates were talking about how Caylee Anthony's body was found close to her mother's home.

The he heard Thompson say something surprising.

"(He said), 'Sometimes the body's hidden so well, it'll never be found. And when I turned around (Thompson) had a little smirk on his face," Reynolds said.

The conversation occurred Jan. 12, 2009, but Reynolds waited until the next day to talk to an Arapahoe County jail deputy about it. A few weeks later, Reynolds pleaded guilty to aggravated motor vehicle theft and received a 10-year prison sentence.

He told Thompson's defense team his decision to come forward and testify against Thompson had nothing to do with his own problems.

"I've asked for nothing. Nor have I been offered anything," Reynolds said, referring to plea deals or bargains.

Reynolds said he knew Thompson was accused of various crimes in the disappearance and presumed death of his daughter but he rejected suggestions from the defense that he was hearing what other inmates had said.

"I'm talking about hearing it right from (Thompson's) mouth," Reynolds said.

Several times, Reynolds restated what he told both the deputy in January and Aurora Police Detective Randy Hansen in May, after his own case had been closed.

Reynolds claimed Thompson said, "It’s not hard to hide a body. You've just got to bury it deep enough."

It was the most incriminating evidence so far in the case against Thompson, who is not accused of murder, but rather abuse of a corpse, child abuse resulting in death and 58 other criminal counts.

That testimony came on the same day the jury passed around a baseball bat taken from the Thompson home. They also passed around a child's purple summer outfit that appeared in a photo the jury saw on Tuesday. The photo was taken at the Grand Canyon and showed two children -- a boy and Aarone.

More Lies Exposed In Aaron Thompson Case

After days of punching holes in the stories told by the children, prosecutors on Wednesday attacked the stories Thompson and his live-in girlfriend, Shely Lowe, gave them about their missing little girl.

One of the first things detectives wanted to know about Aarone was which school she attended. Detectives were told she didn't attend any school.

Thompson spent considerable time telling police that he needed Aarone's birth certificate and immunization record to enroll her in first grade.

But in court, jurors learned that wasn't true.

Lowe had given Arapahoe County Human Services a birth certificate in February 2005. The name on that certificate was never read in court, but if it was Aarone's, it would contradict what Thompson repeatedly told the cops.

But even it Aarone didn't have a birth certificate, that didn't matter, said a former Aurora Public Schools administrator.

"Our goal was to get students into school as quickly as we could. So we always enrolled the students as quickly as we could and then we would continue to work with parents," said James Moore, who was in charge of Aurora Public Schools' student admissions at the time.

Moore, testifying in court Wednesday, said the same was true for immunization records, and other paperwork.

Aarone was reported missing by her dad on Nov. 14, 2005. Thompson told police that the girl had run away after he refused to give her a cookie. However, investigators later believed that the girl had been missing, if not dead, for at least 18 months.

Thompson had requested two weeks off from his job as a security guard, starting just before his daughter was reported as a runaway, said Dianna Sarsfield, a Securitas Security Services staffer.

Lowe even tried to get a nun to lie.

Sister Mary Jo Anzik told the jury she inspected the Thompson home on East Kepner Place in her capacity as housing inspector with Catholic Charities. After the clean home passed inspection and she had left, Anzik got a call first from Detective Randy Hansen with Aurora police. She also got a call from Lowe.

"(Lowe) was concerned about losing her house. I reassured her that she would not lose the house. I said her main concern should be to find her child," Anzik said. "She told me that I saw Aarone sitting on the couch. And I said, 'No, I did not see her sitting on the couch.' She then said, 'Well, she was sitting by the computer.' I said I didn't see anybody near the computer."
