I believe that a DNA “swab” (or “buccal” swab) generally refers to a sample of the fluid on the inside cheek of a person that is obtained by an actual “Q-Tip” like swab. It is a relatively non-invasive method of taking a sample from a person for the purpose of testing that person’s DNA. It is...

You’re obviously missing the point. The issue we’re discussing here is not what a DNA test of Jared’s sweatshirt would have shown or whether it would have proven Heinrich’s guilt or whether such a test could have been challenged. The issue is simply whether LE should have submitted the...

DNA testing was not "brand new" in 1989; it had been commonly used in criminal cases since 1986-87 - and was commonly used by the BCA in criminal cases at least as of 1988.

What I recall is that the FBI did NOTsay that Jared’s clothing had been repeatedly tested prior to 2012. What Irecall being stated at the press conference after Heinrich’s guilty plea wassomething to the effect that “Thanks to advances in DNA testing, we were ableto test...

So, if Iam reading your latest post correctly, Sasquatch, you are admitting that youhave no hard facts to back up your statement that Jared’s clothing was repeatedly submitted to testing prior to 2012 – is that correct? Your statement about what you seem to recall LE saying after an episode of...

What information do you have that Jared's sweatshirt and other clothing were "routinely submitted to testing until technology caught up with it"? I thought that Jared's sweatshirt sat on a shelf in the SCSO's and/or BCA's office until it was subjected to DNA testing in 2012. ELOCsoul, can you...

Jared, please let me add my own thanks to you for your courage in coming forth as you did and helping to keep the pressure on LE to solve your case (and Jacob’s). Without your strength and commitment, who knows whether you or the Wetterlings would ever have received any answers at all from...

IMHO, I think that, as part of the plea agreement, DH was allowed to choose the one count of child 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 to which he was going to plead guilty. He might have been thinking things would go better for him in prison if he was known as a heterosexual child pornographer instead of as a...

The followingis a quote from the July 24(?), 2015, Affidavit of Dennis Kern, a StearnsCounty Sheriff’s Office Investigator, that was submitted as part of theapplication for a search warrant for Danny Heinrich’s house in Annandale: … On 01/16/1989, SCSO Deputy Zieglmeier telephoned SCSO Detective...

THANKS for your humorous post about statistics!! My own opinion is that people use statistics not necessarily to prove that a supposition is correct; they use statistics to prove that THEY are correct. And, after the fact, they can cite "statistics" to prove their theory about a case. Your...

That is absolutely true, Ifollowthis. Moreover, driving from Paynesville towards Cold Springon Hwy. 23, the first direct route into Cold Spring is via Cty. Rd. 158 – which is where the business “Tom Kraemer, Inc.” was located, just north of Hwy. 23. If DH had taken Cty.Rd. 158...

I would think the plea deal wouldn't be just that DH would plead guilty to the 🤬🤬🤬🤬 charges, since they already had him dead-to-rights on those charges. IMHO, I would think that LE probably had to promise DH immunity from prosecution for Jacob, plus the "safest" prison life possible. I'm...

We call those "very large, open areas" "FARMS" around here.

The convergence point on your "quick sketch up" is not the same area shown in your attachment 100732. As you can determine from your own "measuring stick," Pirz Lake - which is the lake shown in your attachment - is two miles beyond the 1 1/2 mile radius from DH's mother's house. I might add...

With all due respect, Sigrun, the area shown in your attachment 100732 is well outside the 1 1/2 mile radius from DH's mother's place in Paynesville - and several miles away from where Jared was sexually attacked after he was kidnapped in Cold Spring. The lake in your attachment is Pirz (not...
