The jury in the trial of a man accused of murdering missing April Jones in a sexually motivated attack is due to visit the five-year-old's home town.
Mark Bridger, 47, from Ceinws, Powys, denies abducting and murdering April, who disappeared near her home in Machynlleth on 1 October 2012.
On Thursday, the jury will visit key locations in connection with the case.
Prosecutors told Mold Crown Court on Wednesday that tests proved blood found at Mr Bridger's home was April's.
Elwen Evans QC said Mr Bridger burned evidence in his fire and used detergent as part of an "extensive clean up".
But blood stains at various locations around Mr Bridger's house matched April's DNA, the court heard.
Ms Evans said that when the prosecution referred to a one-in-a-billion match "that is, in fact, April's blood".
And tests on bone fragments at Mr Bridger's house "strongly support" the fact they came from a human skull, she said.
The prosecution had outlined Mr Bridger's movements on the day of April's disappearance.
He had approached two young girls - aged eight and 10 - who were playing on bicycles, the court was told.
One was friendly with his daughter and he invited her for a sleepover but she declined and he drove away.
Earlier in the day he had propositioned three women via Facebook asking two of them to meet up "with no strings attached".
He had also exchanged texts with a former girlfriend about their break up.
Mr Bridger had told police during interviews he had accidentally hit April with his car and "panicked", the jury was told.
"I didn't abduct her. I did my best to revive her," he said.
The trial continues.
