Did anyone see this article that claims that the preliminary testing on DNA collected was not a match to Timothy Madden. Both sides are requesting that all DNA be retested, which was expected around January 2017.
I couldn't find if anything else was said of it?

The state was seeking the death penalty on TM. I would highly doubt they would do that if his DNA wasn't a match. Here is an old article: http://www.wbko.com/content/news/DE...REACHED-IN-TIMOTHY-MADDEN-CASE-371802942.html
This case has dragged on and I would hope that he would plead guilty to avoid a horrible trial that her family would have to live through, but that has yet to happen.
Court documents provide more details about what led to Madden's arrest. A police report says investigators went to Madden's house Nov. 15, a day after Gabbi was reported missing in a wooded area near Allen County High School. The report says Madden consented to a buccal swab and allowed state police to collect "his clothing that he was wearing the previous evening while at the football game."
The report says biological evidence was taken from Doolin during her autopsy, and the KSP Laboratory confirmed that the DNA from Madden was a positive match to the DNA recovered from Doolin's body. The autopsy revealed that Gabbi was raped and the cause of death was "manual strangulation and drowning," according to the police report.
According to an arrest warrant, Gabbi was raped, manually strangled, and drowned.
Biological evidence, or DNA, found on her body is what led police to Madden, the warrant states.

A Thursday morning announcement at Allen County-Scottsville High School was dedicated to continuing the legacy of late 7-year-old Gabbi Doolin, by scholarship.
"The Gabbi Doolin Memorial Scholarship Fund says this honor is hereby established by family and friends in loving memory of Gabbi Doolin," College Heights Foundation President, Dr. Donald Smith stated.

"A scholarship fund like this is going to help other kids further their education and be able to do what they want to do with their lives, because Gabbi's not here to do whatever she would have wanted to do," Amy Doolin said.
"When you're in a position to help, you make a choice, and we made a choice to help, and we wanted to help. This is just one small way to keep her memory alive forever," Leachman Buick GMC Cadillac General Manager, David Jaggers stated.
College Heights Foundation President Dr. Donald Smith says WKU is proud to be part of her continuing memory.
"Buildings will come and go, people will come and go, but these scholarship funds are going to last forever to tell her special story.
We are honored to administer this fund on her behalf," Dr. Smith said.
Thanks for your response!
Is it normal that this has dragged on so long without a plea agreement. I would have thought that since they had DNA connecting him, that he would have taken a plea long ago? The request for special circumstances/death penalty was filed in March of 2016. That was a year ago. I would have thought the trial would have started by now...

That's an article showing the next few court dates, as well as the Judge saying the trial will not likely be until January 2018.
In the beginning of the article it speaks of the "fluids" not being tested yet for DNA, but other items were.
