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.

My mom was telling me she thought this was her pimp and not her father.

[Dukie07]

Have we ever found out the name of the father of FA's kids?

Oh I'm for volunteerism. If, however, you detect a condescending tone in my words -- which if there *was*, it was for the way voluteerism was portrayed, is offered up as some grand magnificent sacrifice -- how do you not detect in that very last linked-to letter you presented? That letter is AWFUL PR.

[Locomotive Breath]

I would like to know what fraction of the cumulative Durham payroll is paid by Duke. Maybe Duke should outsource those jobs to a community that would be more appreciative.

[RecallMoran]

You think they have the same one?

[Dukie07]

Duke employs 15% of Durham's residents, I believe.

[Dukie07]

At least it's honest, as opposed to the typical PRBS.

[bvw]

That's the attitude, that if is representative, will be having some LAX boys in jail for years, and will almost surely bring years of drying up admissions for Duke in a climate of hot intemperate relations in their hometown.

[Dukie07]

I think I remember reading that both kids have the same father; things didn't "work out" between mom and dad. Sorry, I cannot recall where I read that. Does this ring a bell with anyone else?

[TexKat]

Glad to know that you are safely home. Has the storm in your area lifted yet?

[RecallMoran]

Someone from the Navy I guess. I remember her having a record in CA or WA where she was based when in the Navy. Her divorce came after the discharge. You're probably right I just thought that was awfully consistent behaviour for Crystal.

Such honesty applied on Mother's Day, we imagine, would have some well-off son presenting his mum with a card containing a list of all the money and valuable furnishings, airline fares, hotel room charges he has borne for his beloved mom's sake or given unto her. Such love! You can feel it.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

No--She did have to go to court for child support, but those records might not be public.

[Dukie07]

So, are you saying that in order to have fairness in our courts and communities, people (read: corporations) better pay up???? Come on! Am I in an alternate reality and the Mafia is in charge here??

[Dukie07]

Time to put away the bottle, sweetie.

From Article: ""That's a little weird to me," Edwards added. "Why would you be taking photos if nothing happened? Were they being taken to set up a defense?" "

They took pictures for the same reason one takes pictures while on vacation, or a sports event -- some event you don't do every day.

In re Dean Whichard, I perfectly do understand his thinking regarding this case. He should have been here with us learning how wrong he could be about Nifong and the case. (Thank you for sending me that link to read.)

[Alia]

I'm with you, entirely in that supposition, what should have happened. It's amazing to me that these pertinent, standard details are STILL blurred. I can tell it's got you by the throat too. grr.

[Howlin]

Seems to have!

[Howlin]

Speaking of Mother's Day, have you all seen this?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. That's exactly how I recall it too. In one report, it was PD took her to ER; in another, it was BF taking her to hospital. I wondered then and there if whomever took FA there was one and that same. But then wondered, soooooo If I were MSM and I wanted to protect the FA and Nifong, what would I say? Thought about. Decided it was best to leave this blurred. lol.

Toldyou? I think you are right.
