Graham Dwyer's wife has told the Central Criminal Court she recognised a spade found near the location where Elaine O'Hara's remains were found in September 2013 as being the spade from the garden of their family home in Foxrock.
Mr Dwyer, 42, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Elaine O'Hara at Killakee Mountain in Rathfarnham on 22 August 2012.
Gemma Dwyer said she noticed in the summer of 2013 that the spade was missing for the entire summer of that year.
She said after her husband was arrested in September 2013, she noticed there was a different spade in the garden.
She said she thought it had been left behind by gardai who had searched the house and garden.
She said she recognised the spade found on Killakee Mountain as being the spade from their house as it had stickers on it and splatters of orangey red paint.
She said fences and garden sheds in their garden had been painted and the paint got everywhere.
Mrs Dwyer also agreed that she received a letter from her husband in February last year. In it Mr Dwyer told her not to believe gardaí.
He said they actually had no evidence except his name and someone else's phone number "in that awful girl's diary".
He said he did know Elaine O'Hara. He said he was helping her and had not been totally honest with Mrs Dwyer.
Mr Dwyer told her in the letter that there was someone else involved in this - someone who liked Real Madrid and pink underwear.
He said he believed "this girl" committed suicide and this man had disposed of some embarrassing items.
He said she had tried to kill herself several times and asked Mrs Dwyer why none of Ms O'Hara's family were pushing this.
He said he saved Ms O'hara's life once.
He said she had just been released from a mental hospital and there would be evidence she had bought eight prescription drugs.
He said he should have gone to the police when she went missing.
He said he could have known where she might be, but he said he didn't.
Mrs Dwyer said she first met her husband in the mid 1990s when they were both studying architecture at DIT Bolton Street.
She was asked the names and dates of birth of their two children and wrote them on a piece of paper which was shown to the court and jury.
Mrs Dwyer said she had no specific recollection of August 22nd 2012.
Mrs Dwyer said Mr Dwyer was fantastic with computers.
They would use the same laptop at home she said but she had a separate log on set up by Mr Dwyer and would not have had any cause to look at her husband's profile on the computer,
She gave evidence about the cars he had owned and said she was only aware of him having one phone and mobile phone number.
The wife of Graham Dwyer has begun giving evidence at his trial in the Central Criminal Court.
Gemma Dwyer said she first met her husband in the mid 1990s when they were both studying architecture at DIT Bolton Street.
She was asked the names and dates of birth of their two children and wrote them on a piece of paper which was shown to the court and jury.
Earlier, Detective Garda Brid Wallace of the Computer Crime Investigation Unit was cross examined about her examination of computers belonging to Ms O'Hara.
She told the court she found fragments of communications on a HP laptop computer between usernames used by Ms O'Hara and other users of an "alternative" adult website, for those interested in BDSM.
She said there were a number of image files with appeared to be headshots of men associated with this site.
At one stage there had been more than 9,500 views of Ms O'Hara's profile on this website.
Det Gda Wallace also found a number of documents that appeared to be diary entries from November 2010.
In a letter to "dear diary" on 12 November 2010, Ms O'Hara said she is feeling so sad and is really lonely but she says she cannot tell people as they will say it is her fault because she had not gone out and made friends.
She said in this entry that the urge to cut was very great and she was mad that it was still there.
There were communications between profiles associated with Ms O'Hara on the website and profiles associated with various men.
In some there are references to meeting. In one, Ms O'Hara tells a particular user name that she wants to be his total property online for training for use and abuse.
The court also heard almost 3,500 internet searches were recovered, including a search for the phrase "I want to die".
Det Gda Wallace said she had also conducted further analysis on Ms O'Hara's Apple Macbook over the last few days in response to questions from Mr Dwyer's lawyers last week.
She said she was able to reconstruct some of the searches on a website which showed images of dead bodies.
She said there were searches on 11 and 12 July 2012 for terms such as "hanging" "woman hanging" "stabbed 48 times" and "stabbing".
Det Gda Wallace said she also looked at the fact that a large amount of documents - more than 100,000 files - on the Apple computer had a last accessed date of 18 August 2012.
She said she believed this was because they had been accessed by an automated programme like an anti-virus programme.
She said there were also internet searches on the evening of 18 August 2012 for a drop down wall-mounted table and for terms like "furniture", "Ikea" and "Woodies".
