I am also wondering if whoever took Tara could be a female. Maybe they need to start with the DNA of a certain persons GF.
I thought it odd that they said the glove came from the Senior Center(or did I get that wrong?). Could it be smeone older who visited in the area and became fixated on her?
I pulled up all the references to glove from the show. I think you misunderstood something that was said. I hope I didn't miss any.
But maybe most disturbing was a latex
glove, found laying in the front yard.
Rothwell's initial impression? "It appeared that Tara may have left on her own. However, we had a
glove, a latex
glove that we couldn't explain. That
glove indicates foul play to us."
Investigators sealed the house, and took Taras car and the
glove in for processing. Then they started reconstructing her last known movements.
Ever since Tara disappeared, the GBI has refused to name any suspects in the case, and has remained tight-lipped about any evidence they have, until now: Rothwell says that latex
glove could be a significant piece of evidence.
Just days after Tara went missing, Rothwell sent the
glove to the GBI crime lab in Atlanta. Trace evidence specialist Larry Peterson wasn't optimistic. "It's my experience from past cases that latex
gloves like this had a relatively low rate of success," he explains.
But in this case, investigators caught a lucky break: against all odds, investigators had recovered DNA-male profile DNA-from the
glove.
In Ocilla, Ga., the unsolved case of Tara's disappearance now hinges on finding a DNA match to that
glove found outside her home.
