Any of N is correct in what he says, but there have been a few POIs whose dna have been tested and did not match. I have only mentioned the one group of brothers who were our best hope for a match (IMHO). There were another set of brothers who looked real good (one who owned a corvette and his brother who was questioned about EAR back in 1970 - both worked within one block of one of the attacks) - unfortunately, both were cleared by dna. There also have been several promising leads that were never able to be tested due to various reasons: dead, not able to be located, refuse to provide samples and hiding their dna, etc.).
It is certainly possible that this Corvette attack and EAR are unrelated, though a few of us believe it is (including, apparently, MM). If it is not related, then it is possible that one of the cleared POIs was, in fact, the perp in the Corvette attack, but was not EAR.
I decided to stop posting updates about the Corvette lead when in the aftermath of the DNA clearance of ONE promising lead, a few posters declared the lead was dead and insinuating that I was trolling the case similar to Q or Coyote. I was only providing updates to show that promising leads were still being uncovered in the case so posters should not give up hope for a resolution. When it turned into a situation where some thought that I was jerking people around, I said "Screw this" and stopped posting new info. (All of the info in this post has been posted before.)
One thing I do want to confirm: the victim in the Corvette attack DID report the attack right away. The case never progressed to an arrest when the identified owner of the Corvette was able to provide an alibi, resulting in a "she said/he said" scenario that made a successful prosecution unlikely. And the identity of the Corvette owner was lost when the reports were purged and the detectives passed away years later - reconstructing their initial investigation and re-identifying the perp has been the focus of Shelby's work on the lead.
Most likely all of his stories were to throw off victims and law enforcement. As another member here pointed out, EAR is probably the entire opposite of what he's claimed in his stories and ruses and the real EAR may be: a non-drinker, non-smoker, health nut, no damage to his face, etc.
