He said the DNA testing that was done in 2004 wasn't any good...that it didn't provide a profile of the individuals. I don't understand all of that...but basically I'm saying the DNA testing didn't point them to anyone. I told him I thought they should do the tests again and do the Nuclear DNA...but he said there wasn't anything to test...again...I don't understand all that...but that is what he said.
As for the Nichols guy...he did talk with the grand-daughter and asked her questions about this man and his cars. He said he felt like the man's age was an issue...and that his car's were the wrong color. I don't know if they have a suspect or not...I just know that DB has been the number one since the 2003 investigation...but he didn't say that...I did. Investigator Sillas assures me he will talk with the people that we have mentioned on here regarding the DB theory. I feel like he is trying to help out....I just don't know how far he will go with it. Hopefully he will solve it.
The car they are focusing on is the white/light colored '55-'56 Chevy. And he did say that they felt like the girls were picked up on Church St. not Mesquite. He didn't elaborate about the reason for that...but then again I didn't ask....
He has emailed me and called me twice since yesterday...so hopefully he is going to keep me informed and work on the case.
I just wish he could work it out that the evidence is sent back to the FBI lab....

I don't know much about it either....but what he was telling you, is that a graph chart of colors and lines they would have gotten from the DNA, apparently did not provide enough, if any at all, the require amount of colors and lines on a graph chart, to be able to compare with someone else s color and lines on there graph chat........which would have helped in matching two possible profiles of DNA.
My question, which i am sure has been answered, but i have not looked through this thread, if the girls clothing is still being kept as evidence, and was not returned to the families, it would be nice, to have there clothing taken to a state of the art DNA facility and done again, looking at the clothing of both girls, with there hi powered microscopes, or what ever they use now a days, to look for other possible DNA such as hair or skin cells from the clothing.
Just because Mattie was found clothed, does not mean, no trace of DNA was not left upon her. No one knows for sure, if she was always dressed, or someone may had dressed her after the fact, or perhaps had her undress at one time, then redress, i don't know.
If they were in ones car/home/business etc, at some point in time, either of the girls could have picked up someones DNA, by setting on some hair from the car seat/chair/floor etc, and that hair stayed attached to the girl or girls clothing, and it is still there to this day. though i am just speculating it being possible.
Perhaps even after all this time, there could be human hair, cat hair, dog hair etc etc still laying somewhere on the girls clothing, that has not been found yet..............i used cat hair, and dog hair, for if that was the case, and they identified it as being as such, perhaps a POI at the time, had a cat or dog, that match the hair they found after reexamining the clothing, with today's DNA technologies, they probably could tell you what kind of dog or cat the hair belonged to, and perhaps a POI had a similar cat or dog, that came into contact with the girls, i don't know for sure.
Enjoy the fall foliage this weekend, it should be a beautiful time for you.....we will be here, waiting for your return, so just enjoy your time off with hubby, the outing will go a long way in clearing your mind of clutter and frustration.
PS..i almost forgot, that bible she carried with her, should be checked also.................for DNA, i don't see someone wearing gloves at the time, to prevent skin cells oil from fingers/finger tips, from being deposited on the pages............
