FROM ARTICLE:

"If accurate, the fingernail tissue match would offer the first DNA evidence potentially linking the dancer and an alleged attacker.

But because a complete DNA pattern was not obtained from the tissue, it was not possible to match it with the nearly 100 percent certainty that DNA results usually offer, the sources added."
*END*

okay so the article says "the fingernail tissue" in the first sentence and calls it a "match."
Then in the second sentence it states, "DNA pattern was not obtained from the tissue", and "it was not possible to match it."

Darn, which is it?

It does not sound as if what was under her nails was tissue, meaning there was no skin from digging somebody. So what was the DNA??

Since the stick-on nail was found in the (bathroom?) trashcan I think the DNA tissue is bathroom tissue. LOL
