"Why admit your DNA will be traced to a potential dead body unless you are looking for a pre-emptive alibi?"

Because if you denied at first, then the evidence shows you had sex, you look worse than if you just admitted it right away. Even if the sex was consensual. Kobe was criticized right here on this forum for denying he had sex with the girl in the hotel. It was taken as a sign of guilt.

Not that I'm buying the three guys story on face value.

You look worse being the last one seen with her alive.
Which is why they came up with two stooges who hang out at hotels bumming cigarettes and hitting on girls (like clockwork).

They're toast. They smoke./
