A dozen investigators are retracing Klunders steps since July, when Elizabeth Collins, 8, and Lyric Cook-Morrissey, 10, were abducted while they were riding bikes near Evansdale, said Evansdale Police Chief Kent Smock.[/SIZE]

If Klunder is the responsible party, we want to have evidence to back it up, Smock said.[/SIZE]

Klunder hanged himself the evening of May 20. Investigators found Kathlynns blood on his body, truck and at the hog confinement facility where he took the girls.[/SIZE]

Investigators are now looking through old evidence, reports and information about Klunder, including his cell phone records, Smock said. He declined to provide more details about what information is being reviewed.[/SIZE]

Investigators have kept secret whether DNA evidence was found with Elizabeth's and Lyric's bodies. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]This is speculation but if the DNA from our case matched up with this guy, we would go forward no matter what was happening, Smock said.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Even if Elizabeths and Lyrics killer left DNA, it might have degraded by the time the bodies were found, said Norah Rudin, a forensic DNA consultant who lives in Mountain View, California.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]It depends on whether the DNA is inside of the body, outside the body or on clothing, Rudin said. With the passage of time and with the elements and bacterial growth it reduces the chance (of finding DNA). I dont know when it goes to zero. [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]<snipped>[/SIZE]
