I've been thinking about the DNA. They said they found a dime sized stain on a jacket and only trace evidence in the motor home. The only test fast enough to fit the time frame would be a PCR. Only a few markers are checked. The results from the better tests take much longer to do but need bigger samples. (RE: OJ case)

My point is, do they have enough? I bet they don't. They were looking to make a arrest. PCR may have even matched a family member. They took DNA from everyone, I understand, so those tests should be comming back soon. Maybe that is why things are so quiet.

Hmmmmm.....interesting thoughts.

I realize that it may be nothing more than coincidence, but it is likely that Pfingst was very anxious for an arrest before yesterday's vote.

It is also weird, as has been noted, that he talked so much about the particulars.....very out of character for a District Attorney.

The FBI probably did a series of presumptive tests, to verify that the blood found was consistent with, but not necessariy exclusively from danielle. Would the blood in Danielle's body be valid for testing or would it be degraded?

One thing I've considered about the evidence in the motor home--remember, it's being said now that BVD was having an affair with Westerfield. If that turns out to be true, could they have gone for a drive in the motor home, with Danielle along? Ok, now hand me my tinfoil hat, please.
