A second jailhouse informant returned to the witness stand in the murder trail of 66-year-old Geralyn Graham, who is accused of killing missing Florida foster child Rilya Wilson.

Maggie Carr, a convicted murderer, underwent cross examination on Monday. Last week, she testified that Graham asked her several questions about being convicted of murder if no body is found while Carr served as a law clerk in prison.

"And in a murder case, what you're saying is there has to be a body," said defense attorney Scott Sakin.

"Correct," replied Carr.

"And in your own case, the body was buried, it was hidden," said Sakin.

"Correct," answered Carr.

Carr is serving life in prison for her role in a murder. She has a parole hearing in 2015.

In previous testimony, Robin Lunceford, another jailhouse informant, claimed Graham confessed to smothering Rilya with a pillow and burying her body near water. Rilya's body was never found.

Graham faces life in prison if convicted of murder, kidnapping and child abuse charges. Graham claims Rilya was taken from her home for mental tests by a state worker in 2001 and never returned. Investigators say no evidence backs up Graham's story.

The trial is expected to last several more weeks.
