The police full in stated in one interview that they had DNA which is how they eliminated Daniel Nations as a suspect. Other times they danced around the subject, and I doubted it as well, but it seems pretty clear based on that interview they have some DNA , this suggests the person isn’t in the CODIS database meaning either that this was their first crime or had been
arrested prior to Indiana being required to take suspected felon’s DNA.
There are questions about why no I’d through gedmatch , it’s possible there were no links to relatives at the level of 3rd or 4th cousin or closer OR it is possible there wasn’t enough dna to sequence it for CODIS format and then have enough left over to sequence a sample for the gedmatch format. The formats are not interchangeable.
So likely DNA but maybe not much of it ?
Perhaps as the technology improves they can get more info with less.
With the photo , I understand what you are saying about hair, as that was my impression too. However for every person that is sure the image is of hair there are people equally convinced he is wearing a hood or a hunting cap.
In actuality, there are not many pixels there meaning there is very little data. since our brains deal with missing data by filling in gaps, it means we’re get different interpretations . My way of dealing with this phenomenon is to be cautious about my interpretation. Yes I think it’s hair but that either could be true or could be my incorrect interpretation of a vague image,
ISP says DNA evidence could give them answers on Daniel Nations in days
CARROLL COUNTY, Ind (WLFI) — Indiana State Police said DNA evidence could give them answers on Daniel Nations within the next week.
As News 18 has been reporting, investigators are trying to determine if Nations is linked to the Delphi double homicide.
Nations was arrested on Monday for allegedly threatening people with a hatchet on a trail in El Paso County, Colorado. He's also being investigated for the murder of a bicyclist who was shot near the same trail.
Police in Colorado said Nations was arrested in Colorado driving a vehicle with expired Indiana plates.
Court documents also show the 31-year-old is a convicted sex offender.
First Sgt. Jerry Holeman with Indiana State Police said it's important not to jump to any conclusions before information is confirmed.
"It will be sooner rather than later when we're ready to identify what he is," said Holeman. "Right now, I'm just comfortable saying we're just following up on another investigative lead."
At this time, police are not calling Nations a suspect or even a person of interest in the Delphi double homicide case. Holeman said they'll have more answers in the next couple of days thanks to DNA evidence.
"I know that he is a registered sex offender, so some of that is probably already on file," said Holeman.
He said part of their investigation will include comparing Nations' DNA to the DNA found near the Monon High Bridge Trail, where Libby German and Abby Williams were found.
Police also said they'll be looking into where Nations was the day the girls were murdered.
"That takes a little time and effort, and that's what we're working on right now to see exactly why we believe the cases are similar," said Holeman.
Nations was initially taken into custody in Colorado on a weapon charge. He now has also been charged with menacing and reckless endangerment.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office said more charges could be filed Friday.
