Yes, a simple paternity test is the rational answer. It’s pretty obvious that Dimaggio was not rational, because rational men do not commit this type of crime or allow themselves to be manipulated into by 16 year old twits.
There are definitely things wrong with the reported timelines and Hannah’s statements and police statements, but that is par for the course because journalism stinks in the telecommunication age. They keep saying a DNA swab kit was found because it’s on the warrant list, but what that means is a swab kit was used in the collection of evidence and the swabbings have to be listed, same as the stain collection kits also listed.
Everyone is curiously mum on the two used condoms in the garage as well.
So then this crack team of police investigators left their SDPD certified DNA Swab Kit in the burned out vehicle and were then dumb enough to list it as evidence collected at the scene???
They get the day of the cheerleading practice wrong and don't figure it out for two weeks.
They see a picture of the two of them at a border checkpoint at midnight and assume that to mean they are headed to Idaho even though Mexico is south and Idaho is north.
They still don't have the time of death for the mother -- what's the problem there.
The two of them are still using phones on the way to Idaho that Hannah says had been burned up in the fire.
No wonder they want to close this investigation as soon as possible -- they have bungled the investigation and have been played by a 16 year old girl.
