DEDHAM, Mass. (AP) – Testimony in the trial of a dominatrix accused of manslaughter in the death of one of her clients focused Wednesday on phone records showing numerous calls between the two the day the New Hampshire man disappeared.

Barbara Asher, 56, is charged in the death of Michael Lord, 53, a New Hampshire man who has not been seen for more than five years.

Prosecutors say Asher, who is known as Mistress Lauren M, failed to call paramedics when Michael Lord suffered a heart attack during a bondage session in her Quincy home on July 3, 2000.

Police say Asher confessed that Lord, a retired telephone company worker from North Hampton, N.H., suffered a heart attack while strapped to a rack in her condominium, but said she did not call 911 because she was worried police would shut down her business. She allegedly told police that her boyfriend chopped up Lord’s body with a saw, then the two of them put Lord’s remains in trash bags and disposed of it behind a dumpster in Augusta.

On Wednesday, a police detective from Salem, N.H., where Lord’s car was found after his disappearance, said phone records reviewed by police showed Lord made seven calls to Asher in a one-hour period the day he disappeared.

Asher’s phone records show her making one call to him during the same time period, said Detective Mark Sambataro.

Asher’s lawyer, Stephanie Page, told the jury during opening statements Tuesday that police made up Asher’s alleged confession, and they have no evidence that Asher helped chop up or dispose of Lord’s body. His body has never been found.

The jury was sent home early Wednesday afternoon after a power failure in Norfolk Superior Court. Testimony was scheduled to resume Thursday, when jurors were expected to listen to a two-hour tape-recorded statement Asher gave police about a month after Lord disappeared.
