That would make sense. Those details weren't significant IMO.Just a wild hunch here - total brainstorm, speculation.
Maybe they really did have something significant, but decided at the last minute not to release it, for whatever reason. Instead, they gave this press conference that provided rather predictable information rather than significant information. Maybe they decided to hold their cards tight for a little longer.
Again, just thinking aloud....

I understood that they could tell someone's race from their DNA. Would there be a reason why this hasn't been put out there in this case as well as the Karina Vetrano case? TIA
Ok so if we have the location correct...down a cart path about 100 yards off of Brooks Station Road, going north away from her mothers house by about a half mile and on the right hand side....then that brings up the question....how did she get there?
Did he pick her up somewhere else and drive her down there?
Was he pulled over there to perhaps go fishing somewhere in the woods?
Was his car already hidden out of sight? Or did he drive the car down after he grabbed her?
So many possibilities.
I have grown somewhat used to New England standoffishness in the almost 40 years I've lived here, but occasionally something like this reminds me how deep it goes. Where I grew up in Montana, it was unusual to not know everybody in a ten-mile radius or more. People like my mother even knew all the people in the trailer park where the itinerant construction workers lived. Which is not to say that she socialized with them, but if she met them at the store, she recognized the face and knew the name.
You mean they have DNA based evidence that the suspect is not a caucasian male and do not want to communicate this information to the public?
I don't think DNA testing is able to conclusively identify anything in regards to a persons appearance. (skin color, common ethnic traits.)
It can certainly point to a particular race using genome sequencing.

I'm pretty sure that they can identify quite a few physical characteristics:
"The HIrisPlex DNA analysis system that can establish hair and eye color from forensic samples in modern crime scenes can also identify details from ancient human remains, according to a paper which used the system to reconstruct hair and eye color from teeth up to 800 years old."

If they have reason to think he's local, testing wouldn't help much. That part of the state is about 96% caucasian from western Europe.
