Well, sorry pro-Rams. The Boulder Police are using yet ANOTHER DNA databank, that of the unclaimed dead, and guess what? No match to the unsourced DNA there either...

<quoted text>No need to be sorry, Candy. DNA will solve this case one day and we're patient, we can wait. Back in 1996 the killer was unaware he'd left his DNA on her panties and had no way of knowing then that 12 years later his DNA would also be found on her longjohns.
One day in the not too distant future DNA will provide us with a composite sketch of the killer. It is already possible to determine hair colour with good reliability from DNA. It is predicted that future advances will reveal age, eye colour, possibly even the shape of a face.
The net is closing in on the killer. It's just a matter of time.

The shape of someone's face????
I heard that future advances will also come back with phone numbers and all current nicknames!

The killer might not have known he left his DNA in JBR's panties but he surely knew when JBR dug her fingernails into him and got a piece of him like Lou said, no?

Too bad the boulder police didn't have this info then. The might have done a visual inspection of every suspect's (including ALL members and associates of the ramsey clan) body and looked for the scratches! Then at least we would have a way to narrow in on the potential perp.

I've been trying to learn more about this case. It seems like you guys spend more time trading insults than actually discussing the case.
Just wondering how this is accomplishing anything other than inflating your ego?

<quoted text> The DNA under her fingernails probably got there by her scratching at her killer, thereby getting his skin cells under her nails, but she may not have broken the skin, therefore he would not necessarily know his DNA was there and IMO he didn't know.
The fingernail DNA was degraded but not because it was old, IMO. Meyers caused it when he cut her nails, thereby breaking the DNA molecules and then further added to it to by using contaminated clippers. It was male DNA which is really coincidental, isn't it, as the other DNA came from a male too and some of the markers matched.
Her nails should have been scraped for DNA before they were cut and had this been done, I have a very strong suspicion the fingernail DNA would have been an exact match to the DNA on her clothing.
