The DNA from Morgan's case was linked to the DNA from the Fairfax case because is was run through CODIS. If the DNA only came from the shirt, it would not even be allowed to be entered into CODIS! <modsnip>
It was found in a bush, on a public street. It could have been touched by any number of people walking by. In order to be entered into CODIS it must be forensic evidence.
A: Forensic (casework) DNA samples are considered crime scene evidence. To be classified as a forensic unknown record, the DNA sample must be attributed to the putative perpetrator.

If that DNA came from a shirt that had been on a public street for gawd knows how long, it could not have been entered into the CODIS system. The only DNA on that shirt that has any evidentiary value is Morgan's. Any other DNA found on that shirt could not have been entered into CODIS, it could belong to anyone.
Again, the DNA match was made through CODIS. Do you really believe that a partial sample that only showed that the perpetrator was an AA would even remotely qualify for CODIS? If what you suggest even was the case, then why weren't there thousands and thousands of matches? <modsnip>

DNA found on Morgan's body matched an open sexual assault case in Fairfax County, but the man's identity remains unknown.

Virginia State Police investigating Harrington's death in 2009 determined that DNA on her body connected the perpetrator to a 2005 sexual assault of a woman in Fairfax, Va.
I thought it would be a good idea to move this over here so there is no confusion on this...plus that took me some time...lol

Edited to add that we have gone over this topic 1000 times, somehow it always goes back to this. DNA that was on the Tshirt was Morgan's thats how they know it is indeed hers. Also his DNA might be on it as well, but as you see the DNA came from her body. LE is not going to come right out and say these things, Morgan's parents however, have said them many times that I remember, and I don't think that if your child died in such a manner you'd be making assumptions, you would know what happened to your child. You would/could never forget. JMO

Edited yet again to add that a couple of my links in this post no longer work because I copy and pasted from post #1151 in the previous thread, but all links still work there.
I just will wait to hear about Morgan from LE, but jmo.

"A major break in the Morgan Harrington case tonight. Police say they can tie the abddition and murder of the Virginia Tech student to a sexual assault in Fairfax city. There's even a police sketch of a suspect.
Investigators will only say that forensic evidence ties the suspect to Morgan Harrington's abduction and murder in Charlottesville. But Harrington's parents confirmed this afternoon it was DNA found on Morgan that matches the suspect in the Fairfax case."

And you have every right to do so, but with all due respect I thought I would show you this as it does state VA state police...
I am not sure if this is the right thread for this question but here goes. Can a scent dog pick up someone's scent if it has "traveled" on another person? Specifically, if JM abducted Morgan Harrington and then later went to Wild Wing Cafe, would that explain the scent that was supposedly found at that location when the dogs were searching for Morgan. I ask this because I noticed that on the Silverbacks Facebook page, Wild Wing Cafe was one of that pages' handful of "likes." (McGrady's being another). That made me think what if Wild Wing Cafe was a regular hangout for JM in 2009? Would the dogs have been able to pick up Morgan's scent if he was there shortly after coming into contact with her even though she was never there?
