The Jodi Arias murder trial has drawn international attention for its graphic tales of sex and lies. The following is a timeline of key events in the case:

:: May 28, 2008: A .25-calibre gun is reported stolen from the home of Arias' grandparents, where she has been staying.

:: June 9, 2008: Friends find Alexander's body in his shower and call 911. He had been shot in the head with a .25-calibre gun, and stabbed and slashed nearly 30 times.
