Does anyone happen to have handy the date FH was released from prison? I wonder if he may be connected to any other MPs or homicides in the area, as we know there a lot of them.
But with him being a prior offender, his DNA would be in CODIS, right? Do we know when Alabama started collecting DNA? Any chance he’s not in the system? If there’s a chance, then perhaps they asked for one when they original held him? Chances are likely he’s in the system already, especially since he’s on the RSO registry as of recently, but I remember from Abby’s and Libby’s case, for example, that DNA wasn’t collected for all offenders until a few years ago (something like that, foggy, still waking up).
Hampton was held in the Birmingham City Jail for 48 hours, beginning Dec. 28, on suspicion of kidnapping. He was released at the end of those two days due to a lack of evidence to charge him with the crime, the news site said.
