I think we can be nearly certain that LE has the DNA profile of the suspect in Aniah's abduction. It will be run through existing data bases for a match.
If there is no match, I believe they may attempt to collect DNA from a suspect pool they have developed on the case, first by request, then against consent by retrieving discarded items such as cigarette butts or beverage cans.

Beyond that there is genetic genealogy. Interesting...and very troubling.

A New Type of DNA Testing Is Entering Crime Investigations

GEDMatch, which currently houses 1.2 million profiles from folks who’ve had their DNA analyzed at places like 23andMe and Ancestry, can now be used to identify at least 60 percent of all Americans with European Ancestry, regardless of whether they themselves have ever been tested. That’s according to two recent analyses by genetics researchers, who expect databases like GEDMatch to grow so big in the next few years that it will be possible to find anyone from just their DNA, even if they haven’t voluntarily put it in the public domain.

There’s not a lot of data yet on whether the general public believes police should have access to non-criminal genetic databases. But initial surveys suggest that the majority of Americans are most supportive of such searches when they’re used to go after violent offenders. Approval drops from 80 percent to less than 40 percent for pursuing people who’ve committed nonviolent crimes.

In the interview with the former FBI agent, he commented that in the gas station video, Aniah looks preoccupied, or "as if something profound has happened." I noticed that she looks down and over her shoulder, as if she is checking to see if she's being followed. Anyone else think this?

I edited out the rest of this message - no factual basis for my comment.

well, she did just drive a for few hours after attending a funeral. I don’t know Aniah’s relation to the person, but I assume since her brother also attended that it was a family member or close family friend. Plus it was late and she was likely mentally and physically exhausted. Just moo
 
It was interesting to me as well that he said that and I noticed her dad did too. I’m not sure which interview came first or if they had seen each others interviews. My post with her dads interview is post 988.

Elijah Blanchard, Aniah Blanchard’s father, has hope for his daughter’s return


“My daughter looked like she was troubled. Either she was troubled or extremely tired. To see her going into the store like that… she looked like she was trying to send a signal to someone that she was bothered,” Blanchard said.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information regarding Aniah’s whereabouts, or other knowledge about the case is asked to call the Auburn Police Division Detective Section at 334-501-3140, the anonymous tip line at 334-246-1391 or the 24-hour non-emergency number at 334-501-3100.

Interesting, but scary as hell.

I agree with your interpretation of the investigator's message, but it also sounds very familiar to the message that the Chief of Birmingham Police delivered several days before Kamille "Cupcake" McKinney's body was found. He was essentially pleading for one person to come forward and do the right thing. And in that case, the accused perpetrator, Patrick Stallworth, was already known to investigators. In fact, he was out on bail at the time and being watched very closely.

Here's the link to the press conference I'm referring to in Birmingham:

See, to me this one is different. In Cupcake’s case, he specifically says “If you know where Kamille is...” In Aniah’s case he doesn’t say if. He seems to know that the one

This is reminding me of Mollie Tibbetts and that press conference where a similar plea was made. still hoping for her.

Do you have a link to the plea in Mollie’s case? Just watched the Aug 3, 2018 press conference and didn’t see a plea, just more generally if someone knows something come forward, and that was in response to a reporter’s question. And in the Aug 13 presser, they asked people to report strange behavior by those around them, and gave examples.

It’s not unusual to issue a plea for someone to come forward with information. I just think in Aniah’s case, the plea is very specific. Not...come forward with information, not if you know anything, but specifically...”let Aniah’s family know where she is and what’s happened to her”. But that’s just MOO.

She apparently stopped for chips, not cash. Her mom says it was her routine to have chips every night before bed.

I sure wish she had bought a large bag of Lay's at the grocery store. I am heartbroken. So young and trusting. I have cried so much over this child. Now I am pissed. I hope her step father finds this creep before the cops.
 
I know it’s been discussed, but I want to ask a question to those that have followed multiple cases here.

after watching that last live and Chief saying they believe she was harmed IN that vehicle makes it sound like to me they have blood splatter or something that indicates the dna they found originated for the first time in that vehicle. Or, they have evidence of a struggle and dna in the car? What do you think?

Just a little blood wouldn’t make me think they’d say harmed, nor someone else’s dna alone. I don’t think they are saying that she was transported in that vehicle after being harmed, correct?

Most likely Aniah’s blood was found in the car. Not enough to conclude she was killed but enough to say she was at least harmed in the vehicle. Moo

My belief is she was assaulted in the car. And she fought back hard. I assume they found marks on the plastic, kick marks, scratches or cuts if the seats are leather, more of her hair than was expected, more of someone else’s DNA than expected, possibly blood or semen. Then she was likely moved to the back/trunk where more blood or hair was found, then transported for disposal wherever before parking in Montgomery.

I don’t think she was assaulted outside the vehicle then placed in it. All just moo
