the other thing that I think is the standout is there's some DNA evidence so they actually did do a
00:00:09
number of swabs and testing and there is foreign male DNA on a number of different items including her helmet
00:00:19
including her bike and we rule out you know everyone who was like touching her bike to feeling it touching it it riding
00:00:27
it um all those people get r that there there is still unknown male DNA it's not
00:00:31
berries again they take Jeffs it's not Jeff's the really interesting part and they they the defense knew that there
00:00:38
was this part of it what they didn't know until a long time later was that there is they swabbed the glove
00:00:46
compartment of Suzanne's car not Barry's car the car that Suzanne would normally
00:00:52
take to go ride her mountain bike and on the glove box is unknown male DNA that when they run through Co
00:01:01
matches to sexual assault cases unsolved sexual assault cases three of them in Phoenix Tempe and Chicago yes what what
00:01:13
but but does it match it says partial match now what does that mean so it could be like a family member no oh oh
00:01:23
well actually it it could be here's the thing in codus the FBI wants 13 of the LOI on the DNA the locations to
00:01:34
match with the evidence in order to call it a full match and that brings it to a
00:01:40
one in a trillion chance that it's that it could be a coincidence so if you get 13 lowai matching you're golden they're
00:01:49
thinking about bumping it up to 20 but whatever so if you get a partial match let's say four loai or six loai what
00:01:57
does that give you it gives you that this chance of being of this particular person is one in 4,000 something oh so
00:02:09
yeah it's good but is it good enough no but the fact that this partial match belongs to someone who's done three sex
00:02:19
crimes in three different areas far apart is mindboggling yeah I need to know I we
00:02:27
don't have the DNA report we only have the report of the result but we don't have the confidence level that we need
00:02:34
we don't have the the uh the number of low side that matched um it's pretty crazy
