Then, in that case, and in the context of my discussion with Sacajaweau, nothing (no information) is really 'sealed' in a formal sense. I had been suggesting earlier that locating someone in Boulder would be easy if they had used the usual things, like credit cards, reservations, etc. If he didn't it would be hard to pin him there (maybe a witness?). I'm wondering if the DA hasn't found something in the commercial records that shows he was there? Maybe he used a target card, or maybe some security camera caught him. Of course, being as old as the case is, not all these records will survive. But the cc and bank records would and I don't know how smart he was about NOT using them.
I thoroughly understand how many people love a good mystery. But at this point, I personally refuse to speculate as to what evidence the Boulder authorities may or may not have against Mr Karr other than his own statements. At the moment, this whole thing has more than a faint stink of railroading about it. So for me, I'll wait until hard evidence becomes public. Again, he may have done it. I'm just not up for leaping to conclusions.
I have now heard two different news bureaus report that the DNA has been badly contaminated. However, I do believe they can separate it.
One media stated directly that the contaminated sample is the one under her nails. They said that it was contaminated by a scalpel used in a previous test. I believe there are at least 3 different samples.
