RBBM that is my thoughts too. Just gave enough to rattle. JMHO they aren't going to give the Suspect what they have. Remember there is a KILLER out there still, so they are not just talking to us, they are talking to the KILLER too. The KILLER would know exactly what they are getting at.
"The department also looked at using DNA to help create a composite of the suspect.
According to a Brownwood Bulletin article published Nov. 9, 2017, DNA analysis was used to create a profile of a suspect’s facial skin tone characteristics in the Chantay Blankinship murder investigation. That visual profile very closely matched the murderer and led to his arrest shortly after it was returned to Brownwood Police.
“
The little bit of physical evidence that we had we actually sent to a private lab. We sent it to them specifically because they were involved in that technology and the ability to do that,” Johnson said. “The problem was the quality of the sample we sent was not sufficient.
They needed more of a complete profile and what we had was a partial and mixed profile.” http://www.waxahachietx.com/news/20...sy-bevers-putting-together-team-of-fresh-eyes
They have a partial and mixed profile. Does that me 2 (a partial) and (a mixed) profile? Doesn't say they used up what they had, just not enough to create a composite of the suspect. So (and I could be wrong, understand DNA very little) it is very possible that if they come up with a suspect that matches the dna they have - along with other evidence could help with a case against someone.
In this case they already have said they know the skin tone was not a dark skinned person. And height range. Some partial DNA. Unknown where they got that from but if I were the Killer it could maybe shake me up a bit. And that what I think anything they release is intended to do. Nothing more.
I glad they are going back to scratch. Now just like up they know what is what and go by exactly what they had at the beginning. They also have the luxury of knowing what the SWs executed results were. Lots of positive in revisiting especially if someone is locked into one theory. JMHO
