"Josh Richards said he agreed to provide a DNA sample, and that about 80 percent of the prosecutors questions had to do with his brother, Wendell. "

Did WN refuse to give LE a DNA sample?
IIRC Wendell was not cooperative with LE at all and I doubt he would have agreed to supply a DNA sample on his own. LE might not have probable cause to get the courts to demand WN to give a sample.
Not sure if WN's brother was thinking he would clear himself by providing a DNA sample or if LE straight up told him they wanted his sample to compare to DNA found at the scene which could be WN's. Either way I think it indicates LE has DNA from the scene or body, why else would they want a sample if there was nothing to compare it to? I wonder if WN's mother was also asked to provide a sample.
Based on several peoples statements made to the press that the grand jury asked so many questions pertaining to WN I don't have a doubt in my mind who LE and the DA think is responsible for Celina's death. Wendell's truck still being held as evidence by LE for the past six or seven months is just another indicator of who they think did it.
The one thing we have not heard is whether or not WN was called to testify before the grand jury. It seems everyone else was.
