Snipped~~ Charlottesville police found a "wooden tip from a cigar butt" inside Matthew's wallet. The DNA from that wooden tip is a match to both the Harrington case and the 2005 Fairfax case. Is there ANY reason they can't say "The Buccal Swab taken from Matthews matches the perps DNA in...

That is true , there is no reference to semen , maybe they felt that the Harringtons had endured enough knowing that their daughter was murdered. Or maybe JM merely used the shirt to wipe off the sweat from his face after the sadistic acts he committed.

I believe the T-shirt had a blood stain on the front (MH DNA from the cut on her chin,most likely smeared as the shirt was pulled off over her head) DNA on the INSIDE was Majority MH wearer DNA (perspiration, skin cells) Additional DNA on inside was semen from JM (probably from wiping any...

I guess we can all go home now... Sorry , I don't see it that way at all , despite your claim that every reporter holds your exact opinion.

4 Free Speech Excellent news article, Courtney Stuart has been stellar in her reporting. I too, believe that Morgan was gang-raped ( or in UVa speak "Had a Bad Experience") and then was ultimately killed by JM. This woman's sighting should have been investigated until the wheels fell off ...

snipped~ "Virginia State Police notified Gil Harrington, Morgan’s mother, about a connection between the cases, but she said police did not elaborate on what evidence links them." I find it interesting that VSP does not even tell the victims mother what this link is !! I continue to...

I think the cigar butt was taken into evidence in Texas , not in the original car/apartment search. http://www.13newsnow.com/story/news/crime/2014/11/26/report-warrant-reveals-harrington-case-dna-link/19521703/ The search warrant says DNA was found on Harrington's shirt and a cigar butt...

I have to disagree Ralph. Finding JM's DNA on a cigar butt in his OWN WALLET, would be like saying "We found his fingerprints on his ID card" At this point they had his Buccal swab for comparison. The tshirt with his DNA on it is damning evidence, but somewhat lessened by the fact that it...

CoolJ, I totally agree with your assessment of the DNA matches. The cigar butt tip would be unremarkable if it did NOT match MH, since they now had a DNA swab from JM to compare to both the shirt and the Fairfax samples. I really wonder if they may have found a pack of the same brand of wooden...

I have never been quoted so many times in one post! (and you can quote me on that !) Of course I was being facetious about using the unluckiest man in the world defense. JM will never say a word about it , one way or the other. If he is charged , he will most likely not take the stand (which...

I guess JM could try the SOGDI (Some-Other-Guy-Did-It) defense , and claim to be the "Unluckiest man in the world". I think the statement is designed to trap Jesse into either admitting he and Morgan have met or denying any meeting (friendly or otherwise0 Just My Own Opinions...

jbowman55.... I think you have solved this complex algebra riddle ! It explains a lot of the missing parts here.I think it tells us why the cigar tip was saved by JM. It also shows why LE was able to collect it as "Evidence" and not as a DNA sample? LE is not giving us much to work with. Now...

Your question "How does JM's DNA get on the inside of the shirt?" I think the shirt gets turned inside out when JM pulls it off of her probably drugged body. ( *note*, I have never tried to pull a womans shirt off against her will , but I am quite sure that it would become inside out) He...

One reason to keep a wooden cigar tip would be for smoking "a Blunt" , a large Marijuana cigarette (cigar) rolled in a tobacco leaf. The tip makes it easier to smoke as it burns down toward the end. Blunts are generally shared between two (or more) people , otherwise the weed is going up in...

The probability that another person beside Matthew could have contributed to the DNA profile on Harrington’s T-shirt is one in greater than 7.2 billion, or approximately the world’s population, the warrant states. Does anyone remember the old joke about the defense lawyer arguing reasonable...

You are absolutely right about the lack of items that could be directly linked to JM, especially in a shared apartment. But unless the other occupants of the apartment were in the 275 pound range , a pair of his underwear would have sufficed. A pillowcase from his bed would yield a lot of DNA. A...

I totally agree.... But I think this "Wooden tip from a cigar butt" has a more special significance to LE (and to JM). I also note that it was not referred to as "a wooden cigar tip" or " a wooden tip from a cigar" , This tip apparently still had a portion of the tobacco product still...

Wooden tipped cigars come in several brands.<modsnip> Here is a picture of another brand for reference http://www./cigars/skupics/mid/CI-MID-WINWDPK-400.jpg

I think we now have a hint what " penetration with an Object" may mean in the 2005 case , and it may be that both JM and MH dna were on the cigar butt Trophy. This could also mean that JM is prone to saving trophies to relive the crime. These opinions are my own ~~Everybody Knows That~~~~
