Thanks. That explains it. I didn't use the hyphenated name when I looked. So LE must have had access to his DNA samples.it is listed.

It would be hard to believe he wasn't considered a suspect given this story was originally published in print on the same page as, and right under, a front page story about a vigil for Faith Hedgepeth. https://dcr.lib.unc.edu/indexablecontent/uuid:e90c87a1-9c9c-4e7d-b85a-b92f847100c9
Also, I don't see why bus access is relevant unless there is information somewhere showing he couldn't drive or had no access to a car. The two locations would only be about 10 minutes drive apart from each other in early morning traffic.

I noticed that too! Makes me wonder why he didn’t circle back to it in his blog. Especially after the Parabon sketch. JMO.FWIW, I see Tom Gasparoli reported on this separate rape case in one of his pieces some years back:

Just my opinion but, the way this crime was committed it was obviously a very jealous and resentful individual, deep hatred out of control. For me this rings female against female all the way!!!This is a potential theory I agree with for sure.
Faith did not have a bedroom, the apartment had only one bedroom!Hi everyone, I am new here but the Faith Hedgepeth case has been one of my pet cases for years now.
I think that Karena knows what happened and who killed Faith, I am unsure if she was involved or not, but I do find her very suspicious.
What I am slightly hung up on, is the fact that Faith was found in Karena's bed. When Karena mentioned that she had left Faith alone in the apartment and asleep, she never said: Oh, I left her asleep in my bed/my room. So, either she did not leave Faith asleep in her room, or it was such a common occurrence that she didn't see the need to mention it (which I find not very likely).
Why was Faith sleeping in Karena's bed, if she has a perfectly good bed and room of her own to use?

I'm of the opinion that they actually have a good idea of what actually happened and by who, but don't have enough to prosecute yet. At least, that's my hope.Me again - what is ya’ll opinion on why the police department won’t release all info on the case. Is it a normal thing to keep this info concealed or is it all normally released when a case goes cold? Just trying to figure out the reason for them not releasing everything. TIA
That's the only explanation that makes sense to me. But after 8 years, does it still make sense? Maybe they are inching closer and the public doesn't see it. Personally, I think making everything public can't possibly have more more cons than pros after 8 years of nothing.I'm of the opinion that they actually have a good idea of what actually happened and by who, but don't have enough to prosecute yet.

If I’m being honest, I just don’t see it. (I could be completely wrong) but if they essentially know who the killer is (the DNA match & phenotype) I think they are just waiting until one day this man is arrested for something else, brought into the system and needs to provide a DNA sample. I think until then we won’t know if the LE even have a case against KR and her involvement too.That's the only explanation that makes sense to me. But after 8 years, does it still make sense?

FH was found mostly in bed and somewhat hanging off the bed. Does anyone know if the bed was where the beating started? Did it start in another location in the apartment and she end up on the bed during a struggle and met her demise there or did the entire murder take place while she was in the bed? Again, why wasn’t she screaming for her life?? Goes back to the bottle. Can you wack a person hard enough with one or two quick blows to render them unconscious and not break an empty glass bottle? If yes, then that’s why there was no screaming and a lack or mostly a lack of defensive wounds. If no, then why wasn’t there more noise? Haven’t heard much about defensive wounds. The autopsy seems to show some hand trauma but does anyone know if it’s attributed to defensive wounds? Did police photograph possible suspects to see if they had injuries? If FH was quickly subdued and unable to fight and scream for her life her injuries indicate overkill. If she was fighting and the perp had to continue beating her to kill her because she wasn’t quickly subdued why no screaming. I would think she would have awoken half the apartment community.
—the VM / seems like a red herring. I have no idea the true qualifications of the hired voice analysis guy. Presumably the state crime lab and / or FBI has tried to clean up the recording. I find it dubious a freelance audio tech in Portland, ME has the equipment and ability to clean up a recording and enhance it greater than that of a state crime lab and FBI. Possible? Maybe. My money is on the state and feds to have unlimited money, top equipment and experience. With the transcript provided if you listen enough your mind can talk you into hearing what the transcript says. Just like in the 80s when records played backwards supposedly had hidden words and meaning. My point is after this freelance guy generated the transcript I would feel certain LE agencies took another look at the recording with the benefit of the transcript. If the call could truly be cleaned up to that degree and the LE labs weren’t able to initially wouldn’t after having the transcript if it really was saying what freelance guy says it’s saying—wouldn’t other audio experts and labs be able to confirm it? Especially having the benefit of a supposed transcript? It’s like a true scientific experiment. If the results are legit other qualified peers can use the same methodology and get the same results.
Yes, time stamps were often incorrect during that time period with VMs. I presume the cell carrier would have to know this and be able to correct for any programming error regarding time. I am by no means a cell expert but my understanding is on the device recording the VM the time could be off but the server retaining the VM would be accurate. Also, it could be crossed check between the outgoing and incoming phone and by the call time itself. In other words, I believe it’s possible the VM on the receivers phone could have the wrong time but not on the outgoing phone placing the call, the cell towers can confirm the call and the server at the cell company holding the VM is accurate.
I know LE made blunders early on. I believe the VM has been confirmed by more than one agency to an extremely high degree of certainty and by the phone company. So I believe it was made at the club. The explanation there is no base and drums ect ect we have no idea if the phone was in her pocket, her friends pocket for safe keeping at the the club, they were in the bathroom or inside her purse or a friends purse. However, I am very confident the VM is another red herring and the call came from the night club.
