Officer Ray Urbanek and Sgt. Miguel Garcia discovered Hixson's body in the bedroom closet.
Carol Moddrell, Douglas County deputy coroner, said an autopsy indicated that Hixon had died from strangulation on Nov. 22. The marks on Hixon's neck indicated that a cloth had been used to strangle him.
The autopsy also showed that Hixson had been struck in his chest and right eye prior to his death, Moddrell said.
Detective Jim Haller testified about evidence that had been found at the scene.
Also submitted were numerous strips of a white cotton towel found in various places around the apartment, a bed sheet, carpeting stained with a red substance, and a yellow note pad with an unfinished note dated Nov. 22.
Haller said that while searching the condominium, police found no televisions or stereos. Avis is charged with felony theft of those items.
A knife with red stains on the blade was found under a bed in the living room, Haller said. The knife and other evidence was sent to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation for laboratory tests, Haller said.
Beer bottles, an ashtray, cigarette butts, a fingerprint card and test tubes that contained cotton swabs with red stains were submitted as evidence.
The records were entered as evidence. No information about their contents was given because Allen objected. He told Judge Paddock that the supervisor at the mission should reveal the contents when he testified.
KBI Special Agent Stanley Pfefer testified that he had obtained records from the City Union Mission in Kansas City, Mo., concerning the arrival and departure of transients.
Jo King, staff assistant and custodian of records at Westwestern Bell, said a call was made from Hixson's phone at 6:31 a.m. on Nov. 22 to a Kansas City, Mo., number. The phone number corresponds to that of the city mission. At 6:39 a.m., a collect call was received from the mission.

representatives were not totally committed on the lottery issue when the resolution passed the House.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, said paired-mutuel betting wouldn't meet the state's economic needs.
Charlton said, "I think it is a tax on the poor."
"Pari-mutuel is a very small revenue raiser," Winter said. "It's not a solution to money problems."
