Only match was to her boyfriend is what we were told - definitely none to the LAXERS. Whether there was a primordial mix of others there, as well was not included in the information I've seen. Then, there was the "fingernail" which showed a link to D. Evans who lived in the house, picked up the nail and gave it to the police from the wastebasket where it lay among normal bathroom trash items.

The AV stated to SANE and Nifong that she hadn't had sex with anyone else that night, however, with the results of the first DNA test, Nifong knew that couldn't be correct. The AV was contacted by someone at that point, and she fessed up to having had consensual sex with three other men (her boyfriend and her "drivers"). The "drivers" were questioned whereupon they said they took her to at least 8 jobs at a hotel the previous weekend. Whether she was hired as a "dancer" or "prostitute" is yet to be determined, but I imagine the defense attorneys will be pressing a P.I. to find out who hired the AV the weekend prior -- big bucks, you guys, major expenditure of cash on the part of these families to save their children. For the life of me, I hope there's Divine Justice on this.

I'll betcha the Defense's PI's tracked these dudes down. The DNA didn't match up with a Duke source and that was all the defense needed to know.

Best bet: An honest cop, an informer or records from the prostitute scandal. Cops know who these hookers are, where they hang and who their pimps are. Durham is not unusual.

According to Mangum's own statement to N&O, they had to have been prostitution encounters. She told N&O in an interview a couple weeks after the alleged rape that she had worked for the escort service for two months going on one-on-one dates and that the night of the incident was her first private dance engagement. I think that rather than admit that she went on eight "dates" that weekend before the alleged rape and wouldn't know their names anyway, and they probably used protection, she decided to just give the three names and hope that one of those would be a match and suffice for the inquiry.
