Whatever came out of that report a few days ago that human remains were found in the neighborhood? What was the explanation for that?

 

[Sarahlou]

believe so

They said the DNA in the house wasn't in the database, so surely that would rule him out regarding that DNA.

 

[BellaToothless]

We should remember that many killers/assailants have been noted for maintaining a cool front until it comes time for them to commit actual violence. Many serial killers have engaged their victims in friendly conversation for long periods of time before springing their trap. Just because the suspect wasn't acting like a gibbering ape at the door doesn't mean he didn't have those motivations.

It was referenced to whether kidnapping was for primary sexual assault. A different behavioral pattern. But I remain open to it. It has not been ruled out.

They usually obtain her sample from a toothbrush or something similar and compare it to the blood.

Yes. Very likely. That is exactly what they did in Ben’s case. Used a DNA from a toothbrush.

Wouldn't DE's DNA be on record because of his past crimes?

Good catch! Not sure, though. Do they obtain it for burglary?

do you have a link showing it wasn't in database?

Last I checked the burglary was like 20 years ago? Maybe not....

Just seems ridiculous to go through a front door when there is access around back

Accomplices might've broken in in the back. Maybe the goal was to disable the camera so it would be easier to take her out the front door to a waiting car.

Brian was just on News Nation. He said he will not disclose his location regarding SWAT.

Hoping today is the break we have been hoping for.

 

[maskedwoman]

When did the sheriff state SIL is not a suspect? I haven’t seen that. If he’s been cleared, that’s huge.

That's meaningless. He has also publicly said no one has been cleared. No one is a suspect until they are named a suspect, publicly announced as cleared, or arrested.

 

[JaimeInLA]

BE is at the location where SWAT is staging. But he won’t say where it is. We were driving along in the car with him while he was on his way there. (watching news nation live on TV.)

 

[Sarahlou]

do you have a link showing it wasn't in database?

Yep

K9 Handlers also like tooth brushes for scent articles. IMO

Yep

It says “Investigators are working to identify who it belongs to,”

I don't read that as a definitive it's not in database. We'll see.

Thank you.

Has anything of note happened today? There’s like 100 pages added to this thread from when I looked last night (UK Time)

Thanks for that info.
Not sure how I missed that ?
Omo.

It says “Investigators are working to identify who it belongs to,”

I don't read that as a definitive it's not in database. We'll see.

It says this:

Frank Figliuzzi, a former FBI assistant director, said officials likely already ruled out that the DNA belonged to Guthrie’s family members or others who were in the house for other reasons. It also did not pull any matches with known offenders in the FBI’s database, he said.

Just look at the last few pages, something might be happening right now
