 (AP) Prosecutors have begun showing jurors text messages outlining a Kansas man's obsession with a slain cheerleader whose badly burned body was found at the asphalt plant where he worked.

The evidence came during the fifth day of testimony in the capital murder trial of 38-year-old Adam Longoria. The Great Bend man is accused in the August 2010 death of 14-year-old Alicia DeBolt.
Analyst Stephanie Smith of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday discussed the texts as they were projected on a screen in the courtroom. The texting began the morning after Longoria met the girl at a party. In them, Longoria calls the teen ``miss shy'' and ``hot stuff.'' When she asks his age, the then 36-year-old man told her he was 25.
