Read the fine article.
The chain was used in March to prop open an emergency exit door at a subway station as part of an Occupy Wall Street action to allow passengers to ride free.
The police later released surveillance video of people in dark hoods and masks wrapping a long silver chain around the emergency exit door.
Officials said they had fed the DNA from the chain into a database, hoping to find the perpetrators. A computer indicated that some DNA matched that on Ms. Fox’s CD player.
I read the fine article and ask again- What else did they DNA test and why? This fine article mentions the video with the chain. I’m sure there might be at least ONE more video of one more POSSIBLE crime committed during this Occupy BS. Maybe? Is the video(s) grounds to DNA test? What do they do with the “innocent” DNA samples?
Yes, but this happened on two different occasions and to multiple stations.
“The source said his group’s inspiration for yesterdays action came on November 17 of last year. During that day of action for Occupy Wall Street, someone — quite possibly members of Occupy’s Direct Action Working Group — locked open doors at four stations.
“We wanted to do something like that, but scale it up,” the source said.”
I can’t help it, I find it a puzzling story.
They did scale it up, they tried for 25 stations and ended up with 20 stations with free fare March 28th, with help from unions.
The video they show of the one chaining the gate—that girl has on gloves.
Which occasion are they linking the DNA to? Nov 2011 or march 28th 2012?
“Prosecutors initially said the top suspect in the case was Dimitry Sheinman, 47, a handyman who went to detectives claiming to have information about the case he obtained clairvoyantly.
He was never charged and eventually moved to South Africa.
Last month, he returned to New York, and, accompanied by his wife, Jane, walked into the 34th Precinct stationhouse in Manhattan carrying a sealed envelope.
He said it contained the name of the murderer.
He told cops the name came to him in a psychic vision”

However it has now been revealed that the potential clue was tainted evidence - embarrassing the NYPD and enraging the OWS movement who took the opportunity to say the police should have made better use of their resources than collecting their DNA.
The only suspect in the Fox murder case was Dimitry Sheinman, 47, who has since moved to South Africa. He was never charged in connection with the murder of the young actress.
