My wish is that LE would just clear the BF publicly, if possible. Jmo

I agree with you but IIRC he had said when he is ready he would make a statement. Guess he's still not ready.
DNA is compelling evidence, no question. The tough part in terms of proof that will stand up in a court of law, though, is being able to show beyond a reasonable doubt that the DNA of the accused didn't get there through some other way, at some other time. I am *by no means* a DNA expert, but a good defense lawyer will do anything possible to poke holes in a prosecutor's argument. If there's a shadow of a doubt or there could potentially be other reasons the DNA was found where it was, LE will most likely try to get as much supporting evidence as possible before making an arrest.
The burden of proof is on the shoulders of LE and eventually, a prosecution team, since our justice system is based on "innocent until proven guilty." LE may have a mound of evidence, but could be waiting to make the case as airtight as possible so that once an arrest is made, the killer will be convicted and put away for a very long time (hopefully).
Again, all this is just my opinion! I'd love to hear an update on this case because Allison and her family deserve justice, but I still feel like there's a reason behind why LE has been so quiet. Hopefully, that reason *isn't* because the case has stalled.
LE seemes pretty confident the DNA was the killer's - so I take it to mean (got to hope) it's location or what it was mingled with or found under could only be explained as gotten their during the commission of murder...

orangecrush said:I could be completely wrong, but I'm not sure that LE can arrest someone because they think they've got enough evidence. I *think* that's the decision of the potential prosecuting attorney - LEOs aren't attorneys; they may have loads of evidence and have solved the crime, but they are not the ones arguing for guilt in a court in front of a judge and jury.
I agree! Unbelievable in my opinion.It would be a shame if Allison's parents have to pay a private detective because the LE there is "tight -lipped". There is no new update at all.
Sorry to be insensitive, but wasn't there bleach pored around this body? I remembered when people were talking about DNA.
First responders found Feldman had "cranial trauma" and pronounced her dead. They also discovered a white substance around her body and smelled a bleach-like odor, the documents said.

I have never heard that there was bleach poured around the body. You might check the local Scottsdale news reports. I believe they're still available on line.Sorry to be insensitive, but wasn't there bleach pored around this body? I remembered when people were talking about DNA.
Yes - no mention has been made of what the white substance might be. I'm guessing it's could be chlorine powder used for pools since she had one, and that would certainly explain smell of bleach... - but if so, it not something normally kept inside your home.
Apart from that, was hoping there would be a break in this case.
Police said the suspect would have had cuts or injuries to his hands or arms likely from Feldman trying to defend herself. *this comes from a local news station here in Scottsdale*
...Allison was assaulted in her home, and although she fought off her attacker valiantly, she succumbed to her injuries. This subject may not always be violent, but could become violent when confronted. He likely suffered minor cuts or injuries to his hands or arms struggling with Allison.
I doubt it's something as strange as chlorine powder for pools. It would make more sense that the bleach odor was from actual bleach used by the killer, in their attempt to clean up traces of their blood and DNA (remember LE did release that the perp likely had cuts to their hands/arms). When liquid bleach dries, it leaves a white dry residue.
