1. We don't know if they have DNA.And this is why people may have been cleared, apart from DNA elimination (Does not mean they are not an accessory the person at the scene with DNA).
The only person named as a suspect in this case is LW. Caporn named him. Maybe he slipped and used the wrong words, maybe he was supremely confident he was the guy and felt it didn't matter.Jennifer Vogel and Madeleine Baran said:"Person of interest" is a term widely used by the police, but it's relatively new, having emerged in the mid-1990s. In most cases, it appears to be a euphemism for "suspect," with enough vagueness thrown in to temper expectations and afford legal protection. "The beauty is that nobody knows what it means and that it has no definition," said Paul Rothstein, a professor of law at Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. "It covers a multifarious group of situations and therefore no one can say that it means this person is a suspect, because they aren't yet. Because there isn't enough information.
"It's a way for police and prosecutors to disguise that they really have some grounds to suspect that a person played some role in a crime," he said. "But they don't feel they have enough evidence that they want to essentially perhaps defame the person by suggesting to the public that this person has committed a crime or is a full suspect in a crime."
There is no evidence one way or other as to how many people were in that vehicle. From memory the words used at the time were "CG was talking to the occupants of a light coloured car". Whilst it does suggest plural the liklihood is "occupants" was used to cover one or many people and there was no definitive suggestion as to how many were in the car.There were multiple persons in the vehicle Ciara approached which suggests more than one person is very feasible.
No one has been publicly cleared. If a court action was taken;A person may have been cleared because a court order might have been granted to clear the persons name as a POI even though POI has no legal definition.
Which begs the question why haven't others taken legal action?One CSK POI I believe wants $10 million for defamation of character.
1. We don't know if they have DNA.
2. We don't know who is ruled out and who isn't. Macro have not publicly ruled anyone out. Maybe internally they have but publicly they haven't and probably won't.
We all know they might have it or might not have it. There's also a lot of different opinions as to whether they do or not. It serves no purpose to state categorically that police have DNA. It would be handy if you were on the same page as the rest of the posters.

No one has been publicly cleared. If a court action was taken;
a. We'd know about it
b. It would likely require WAPOL to publicly clear the POI. There's no advantage to a POI to be cleared privately (by force).

Nugget77 who do you place as #1?Thanks for trying to ensure that the facts are the facts. I find there seems to be so much conjecture taken as gospel in these (and other) CSK related threads that it gets very difficult to follow.
How would it hurt the investigation for the public to know what types of dog hairs were found on GR?

I'm sure they would have but the chances are it's almost impossible to trace. If it was a van or pv for Karra then there's almost infinite brands and models of tyres that could be used. Karrakatta is all sealed roads but it's possible Karra man 3-point turned into the dirt to the side of the road (no curbs for most of it). Did police ever determine the exact location of where the rape happened?If the police have tyre tracks from the GR site, have they checked them against vehicles that match the KK abduction?
dead - IDTS. incarcerated - IDTS
I don't think soWhat's 'IDTS'?
dead - IDTS. incarcerated - IDTS
..because of the ongoing investigation and DNA testing..
I can see possibly why for incarcerated. Why would that impact on potentially dead?
