I remember LE saying we have identified the remains of TB due to the totality of the evidence. He didn't say we have positively identified TB' remains due to DNA or dental testing, but again, by the totality of the evidence. IMO it seems they could not find DNA but looked at all the evidence and concluded it must be TB. Maybe I am wrong, but a good defense attorney could certainly poke holes with totality of the evidence if DNA has not proven it was TB. JMO
IMO your conclusion is correct, Eldee. So far as I can tell, all MSM reports about TB's remains having been found spring from the LE "totality of the evidence" remark which, it's fair to note, were made very early in the investigation. Curiously, we also have SB's terribly sad remarks that she'd been handed her husband's remains "in a box" which begs so far unanswered questions about whether it was LE who gave them to her. Because of the cloak of silence surrounding this investigation, together with the completely understandable WS rules, we have few available sleuthing avenues available, imo. I'm just one of those, I'm sure, who thought they had the whole thing figured out, only to discover I was barking up the wrong tree. (Hopefully LE's professional investigative techniques and those of the defense attorneys are less vulnerable to error.) Barring unforseen developments, the only clue as to the strength of the prosecution position, imo, will be if DM and/or MS are granted bail, imo. Even then, this case has passions running so high right across the country and beyond that there seems little doubt, imo, that if released from remand, the lives of both these persons would be in extreme and immediate danger. MOO as always and ever.
