So that shoe found wasn't Amber's. Gosh, it sure looked like it did.

Gosh, this is frustrating. Could be considered evidence towards rape, though.

Presumptive test for semen in Kirwan was positive, vaginal and anal - no DNA profile could be gotten

They have Amber firmly linked to being in the trailer. Now, lets see them put Falconer, there, too.

Black cloth found in camper ha Kirwan's DNA on it. Odds of it bein someone else are 1 in 1.4 trillion

I will never believe he didn't sexually assault Amber. I think he was smart enough to use a condom. Female abducted and found nude speaks volumes to me. IMO.

Some DNA found on knife, but not enough to proceed with genetic testing

This is interesting to comtemplate, because the lack of blood evidence in the camper could indicate that Amber was not stabbed there; or at least did not bleed out there.

So possibly she was moved when the step-sister returned home.

But moved to where, is the question, I guess. If it even happened, that is.

This is a little bit frustrating. I'm assuming they mean the blank 'muscle' top found in the back of the grey Chevy, Falconer was known to drive.

The blood on the tank top tested positive to be that of Amber Kirwan.

Watch the defense with this. :(


Natasha Pace‏@NatashaPace2 mins

There was a "strong indication" it's Kirwan's blood. Suzunski won't say anything is 100%.
