May 13, 2006 — The second round of DNA test results in the Duke University rape investigation show "no conclusive match'' to any lacrosse players, defense attorneys said, but a vaginal swab of the alleged rape victim produced DNA from a "single male source'' — a man not on the lacrosse team who did not attend a March 13 party that was the site of the alleged rape.

Defense attorney Joe Chesire declined to identify the mystery man or his connection to the alleged victim, but ABC News' Law and Justice Unit has learned that the unnamed source of the DNA is the alleged victim's "boyfriend," according to her mother.
ABC News is withholding the name of the man because he is apparently not a target of the investigation. Records indicate that Durham, N.C., police gave the "boyfriend'' a cheek swab to collect DNA on May 3, ABC News' Law and Justice Unit has learned exclusively.
It is unclear if or how the first DNA tests missed what appears to be the only foreign genetic material found on the alleged victim's body, defense attorneys said. Two Duke lacrosse players were indicted more than two weeks before the cheek swab was taken from the "boyfriend."
It is also unclear whether the alleged victim had sex with the "boyfriend" the night she claims to have been raped by three Duke lacrosse players. DNA experts tell ABC News that genetic traces of semen can remain in the body up to six days after intercouse.

With 2 parents and a brother and sister, you'd think that Crystal could have gotten financial help from them before she asked the church to pitch in $$$, wouldn't you?
It wouldn't matter if there was. They were kicked out of school.
It isn't realistic to think that this case is going to convince blacks who would have voted Republican to now vote rat.

I agree and the Dims dont orgainize something like this by a DA who has never won election. This has much more to do with Nifong's background, his wife's background, his reelection needs, his lack of mental capacity, his lack of ethics etc than any national worries.
I bet I heard "she wants to better herself" at least three times. Each time I had a vision of Willie E. Gary smiling beside Crystal, Mary, Travis, Shirley, and Jackie. I think they all want to better themselves.
One would think so. And, where is the father of her children?
How can Crystal afford a %300 cell phone if she is so strapped for cash?
Parents have a history of bankruptcy
Seeing and hearing Travis I don't think the substance abuser accuser acorn has fallen very far from the tree.
%300 = $300 cell phone.
Really? More than once?
My guess their hope is that the LAX parents are the answer to all of their financial troubles.....
There's no normal history on her...No old grammar/high school teachers, bosses. Just no one except her parents and their interest is probably more toward the grandchildren.
What did the report say? She returned to stripping two months ago, but this was her first party? Was this similar to her first lap dance when she was drunk and freaked out? A see a pattern ... :)
He has weak ID, no DNA but will lie about that to the grand jury and is bringing the FA in to lull her into thinking this will be easy by having her testify where there will be no cross.
When/If Crystal gets sued in Civil Court (as I devoutly hope she will), Nifong will NOT be her attorney. Will she be eligible for a court appointed attorney as a defendant in a civil suit?
And she did what before she RETURNED to stripping??
Good point.
GJ..."where there will be no cross." Grand jurors can ask questions.
'Scuse me made it sound like he was more a bread eater than a bread winner during their short marriage. I wonder if she is financially supporting her "boyfriend" or a yet to be revealed habit?
Ah yes, but Durham will provide an unreasonable jury.
