How do they know they collected human DNA from the road/woods/swamp area?
Do you mean was it human or was it maybe found on him or his person? We know it was human but don't know where exactly it was found.

We don't know - maybe LE is onto someone.
They're not going to say before the person is located and interviewed.
Several DNA samples were found at the scene. Only one was of sufficient quality that it quailified to be entered into CODIS. When entered that DNA did not match or hit with any currently in the system. However, whenever new DNA is entered into the system it is a computer so it automatically checks the new against those already in the system. So he was saying it is possible they will get a match in the future with new DNA being entered. That I think was just his way of being evasive because all DNA in CODIS had the potential to be matched one day with new DNA.
The other swabs from known people collected around town should not have been sent to CODIS as they were collected only for the purposes of ruling out their DNA.
Not sure why it is suspicious. It is just DNA found near a crime scene which doesn't match anyone in CODIS nor family members or first responders.
If could be from a local worker who takes smoke breaks out there. Teens who use the area to party etc... so if isn't necessarily tired to the crime at all. Even if found in CODIS it could have a reason to be found at another location that has nothing to do with a crime. It comes down to the totality of evidence.
Are you sure he ruled out a hit on the sample?
I didn't hear him rule in or out, only that one sample was sent to CODIS. Sounded as if that test wasn't run yet.
But, come to think of it, I don't think the modern day test takes that long to run/complete.
One show explained how fingerprints used to be examined/compared one-by-one to samples using the naked eye. The process took forever.
Today, if there's a match to be made, a computer can match images in no time.
I'm just typing out loud as most people probably know this already.
They take swabs to rule out others so they aren't chasing a DNA sample from a nurse who gave him an IV. Or something like that. It isn't so much to rule out CODIS.My understanding is why you say is the reason all the local samples were collected, that is, to rule out locals being a match to the sufficient CODIS sample.
My thoughts are going in circles.
Yes, local people LE swabbed do not match the sample submitted to CODIS. Therefore, the CODIS sample is suspicious and remains unexplained.
This confuses me. The sample they got from the scene , they probably got BEFORE the locals samples, so why was the scene sample not ruled in or out if the others were, when all samples were sent to CODIS? Confused. JMO

I will see if I can clarify my thinking. I understand that the one sample collected from the scene that was good enough quality to be sent to Codis was human DNA. But they collected other DNA from the scene which wasnt good enough and wasn't sent.Do you mean was it human or was it maybe found on him or his person? We know it was human but don't know where exactly it was found.

So, I am wondering if, for example, they found a puddle of liquid at the scene and took a swab, how would they know ahead of time that the puddle might have been from an animal and not a human?
Actually, its probably just a stupid question.
They wouldn't even know if it was mountain dew. Lol
They probably had a bunch of dna immediately ruled out as family etc...
Then more as first responders.
Then they had some that the FBI wouldn't accept because it was so tenously tied to the crimescene and others that just were so degraded that it wouldn't fit the CODIS system.
And then they probably had some animal dna etc... too
Gliniewicz, 52, was found dead near U.S. Highway 12 shortly after he radioed in that he had spotted some suspicious activity and was pursuing three people whom he described only as two white males and one black male.
Covelli cited that description as among the reasons authorities are still treating the case as a homicide, saying that theory is supported by "the facts and the evidence."
Rollins runs NW to SE near the scene. The only neighborhood-heavy area near the scene is north and east of the scene. Mostly anything else is light industrial or swamp in other directions. I do remember picking up on several Twitter accounts that evening with people tweeting that they were seeing LE searching in their yards in that NE direction.The day of the manhunt it was reported that police had moved into the neighborhood east of Rollins on foot. I believe that was the scent the dog picked up.
