That's not quite accurate. Hair samples weren't matched. Nuclear DNA analysis was performed on hair samples from DJH. That DNA was a match to DNA from the right wrist of JNS's sweatshirt, not hair samples. The DNA on the sweatshirt was a mixture of DNA from at least two individuals, and probably was deposited on the sleeve through saliva. Remember JNS said he wiped his mouth on his sleeve several times during the attack.Wow... "In 1990, Daniel Heinrich gave federal investigators samples of his body hair. The hairs were placed under glass slides, labeled and delivered to a lab where they sat for 26 years.
In May, an investigator with the Wright County Sheriffs Office turned the slides into the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for testing. The final report concluded the body hairs submitted by Heinrich matched hair samples found on a 12-year old boy who was assaulted in Cold Spring in 1989."
