If they have DNA from Tim's crime scene ( and I think they would have plenty) , I wonder if they plan to use this technology to try to solve it?

Shire, why do you think they’d have plenty of dna from Tim’s CS?
If he were shot only, there could be zero DNA. If he were attacked with a hatchet, which has been a rumor here, there would be more likely to be DNA
GAAH! I reached my limit on that newspaper you just posted Agent Apricot. I hate that!
edited to add: So nothing on the compliance hearing in Bartholomew County from yesterday? The court site isn't updated yet.
It's a very long article. Brief summary of some key points. Apparently The Gazette has been trying to get TW's autopsy released. Coroner's office position was it would endanger the investigation. TW's widow did not want it released for privacy reasons and possibly harming the investigation. County Attorney argued it could lead to "bad actors" coming forward seeking favor. Gazette reporter argued El Paso Co has a habit of withholding autopsies in prominent murder cases. Judge nixed the release:
Fourth Judicial District Judge Eric Bentley sided with the Coroner’s Office, ruling that the county had “clearly” met its burden of establishing that “substantial injury to the public” would result from the autopsy’s release, satisfying an exception written into public records laws.
Information about the number of Watkins’ wounds, the trajectory of the fatal bullet or bullets, and the distance from which the rounds were fired are among the details that could dash hopes of solving the case, Bentley said. The report could also help pinpoint when and where Watkins was attacked.
Detectives have POIs but none are actual suspects at this point, LE hoping for more tips.
Palmer Lake cyclist's fatal shooting investigation stalled, authorities concede during hearing over releasing autopsy
So multiple wounds and directions/ distance. Were there more than one shooter? Then he was half buried off the track and his bike and other things scattered. Very strange.
But, good news, detectives have POI's ???
TY kizzy for the summary.
Sillybilly, can you predict when the Delphi thread will reopen? Thanks for your consideration of this question.
Hi Everyone,
Please remember this thread is about the Tim Watkins killing. Please stay on topic.
Abby and Libby will open up when there is something new to discuss. That discussion was making it almost impossible for
our mods to work anyplace else on the forum. It wasn't a small group of posters either.
We have seen this for over 14 years on Websleuths. When a big case goes cold all hell can break loose and usually does.
Please respect our decisions and our rules. If you have any questions please send a private message.
Thank you,
Tricia
When was he removed as a poi in TW case? I must have missed that. Sorry SB. Is there a link we can put on the thread ?
I will alert on this post for your info. TY.
YES. DN, DANIAL NATIONS IS NOW NO LONGER A SUSPECT THEREFORE WE NEED TO MOVE ON AND NOT DISCUSS HIM ANYMORE

No more discussion of Daniel Nations, please.
Thank you,
Tricia
And why would the trajectories and wounds give away anything to the public?
DN was never officially named a POI or suspect in Tim's case. In February, Tricia posted in the Delphi thread:
