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.

No name yet...in fact I just finished googling crytal mangum and boyfriend.
Think I will try clusty before I get my shower.
why are they low life. They are in college for Ch... sake. Geez women, beer, and partying be in line with college.
Yeeech. The visual is killing me.
No broomstick? Well, that's a pretty sweeping statement!
Nothing on clusty
I see the FA's cousin is posting on the abc11tv forum. Is it Jackie?
Do we know what the calendar says and who the judge will be?? When I see cases moved to a different date on the calendar, I perceive that they are "picking" the Judge. (I Dated an attorney for 10 years)
So why did DiFong send it to that lab in the first place??
For a prior example reference c.f. "Barry, Marion"
Acting on complaints from four clients, Real Estate Commission investigators determined that Tate and his partner Joseph Williams could not account for at least $35,000 and possibly as much as $100,000 in rent money that was paid by tenants but never reached the landlords... The Real Estate Commission revoked Tate's and Williams' licenses last August (Independent Weekly, "State shuts down Durham real estate firm," Sept. 29, 2004, (www.indyweek.com/durham/2004-09-29/news.html).
The phone at Tate's former Fayetteville Street office has been disconnected; he could not be reached for comment. Williams, a Durham Police Department employee who resigned from the firm in 2003, was not charged, Davis said.
Durham County court records show the four felony counts filed last month are not Tate's first brush with the law. He also has a history of traffic and misdemeanor criminal charges over the last two decades. Since 1983, he has been charged with 35 offenses, including three counts of writing worthless checks, one count of carrying a concealed weapon and several counts of driving with his license revoked.
This all sort of fits with Tates5's posts about her cousin and Crystal's preference for bad guys who are successful. It also shows that Tate is very well known to the Durham Police Department.
It sounds like they have a big rat's nest down in Durham. Once they start poking that police department with a stick we're going to see the rats running in all directions.
Yes...And if the phone call was THAT casual, I would say the call was DIRECTED to someone who knew her.
I don't know anything about the cousin, but thanks. I'm interested in going over there and reading.
Please ping me if you find anything ... I will check back later today.
TIA
Still haven't figured out what xo means by it
xo's first post was an article about an early 90's SBI investigation into a prostitution ring run by the members of the Durham PD. The DA at the time was Ronald Stephens, now the judge in this case. Hence the reference to his "long memory."
The best I could decipher, xo seems to be suggesting major corruption within the Durham Police Department. Considering the sweeheart deals both Mangum and Roberts received for serious crimes, it would seem that they have a special relationship with law enforcement.
That's my guess at to what he's hinting at, but your guess is as good as mine.
If she likes black boys, why a pubic hair found on her body belonged to a white one?
One wonders if her BF IS a white guy.
How about calling the guy that lives in the same building as she lived in:
909 DA VINCI ST, DURHAM NC 27704-3343, DURHAM COUNTY
MATTHEW MURCHISON Age:
(919) 824-2411
Read "boyfriend" as the last guy she has sex with, probably for money. After all, she was working on about her third date of the night.
The black officer, who seems to have disappeared?
Well, the press isn't getting much information from Nifong now that he won the election. And the defense and their private investigators have to know so much. Just wish they'd tell us! ;)
