We'd have to assume MAP has had his DNA taken. Was one of Macro's main POIs in 2008 and police are legally allowed to take the DNA from anyone suspected of a major crime.If the other POI's are actually cleared as stated in press, and they do have a dna link from kattakarra and Ciara Glennon crime scenes then it follows - wouldn't they have tested Martial Arts guy?
I am not sure about dna evidence, if dna evidence means that a unique profile can be found, or if degraded dna means it is possible to have enough to match a number of suspects but not one specifically. I know of one case, the west mesa murders where they had a hair sample that could be matched to a suspect but it could also belong to other people, i.e. a percentage of 2% of the population.
Does anyone know about dna samples and how specific they can be?
I guess it comes down to what they have in terms of dna and how specific this profile is.
Regarding the phone call that Don Spiers received that he believes was genuine -
'It was at 2am on a Sunday morning shortly after Sarah went missing. The caller asked him, "Are you Sarah's father?"
Don won't give details of what the man said but he still believes it wasn't a hoax.
The caller gave him a location - 5600ha of dense land and bush. Don went there but the size of the location and the dense vegetation meant looking was "hopeless".'
Does anyone know what area this was?
I seem to recall reading that it was the pine barrens but I can't find the link. I also seem to recall that the army had a training area in the pine barrens or nearby.
Anyone recall anything on this?

Regarding the location the 2am caller gave to Sarah's father; has anyone ever figured out where this area might be?. Was this area ever searched by police?. I see that Nilgen Nature Reserve covers an area of around 5,600 hectares.

So there's 3 options;
1. They don't have DNA and he nor the others have been ruled out
2. They have enough DNA to rule him out with the rest of the main POIs
3. They have partial DNA. Enough to rule out LW, PW, SR etc but not enough to either rule out or match MAP.
Keep in mind;
A. He's never been named publicly so the media can't rule out someone who isn't a suspect. Interesting to note is the media have never made reference to the unidentified MAP, neither to rule him out or talk about him in any way shape or form. Its not as if the media don't read this thread from time to time.
B. If police only have a partial then how did they match to Karra?
If they've barrowed it down enough to either determine a link or high probability then you'd think that is enough to rule MAP in or out.
The only person claiming there is a link and has a source is Bret Christian. He clearly said the link is DNA.The match to the rape victim could be linked by many other things other than DNA, fibres, the supposed paint particles, cords used for binding e.t.c
DNA has not been confirmed. They may have it, they may not. Until we know for sure we need to keep an open mindHowever they obviously have enough of a DNA sample to rule some suspects out but not all so it is def not a complete DNA sample unless like 88mph stated
He'd have to have done some of them, probably most of them you'd think.How likely that all or most of these other assaults were committed by the CSK?
It wasn't rough at all. Despite some people (who never frequented Conti or Club) trying to claim lots of people from outside the area fequented these 2 bars on Fri and Sat nights, or that army guys frequented these places, I can tell you that is simply not true.the area being considered affluent one wouldn't expect to see so many sexual assaults (or attempts) in 1 location would they? was that known to be a rough area on weekends?
