This case came up in a death penalty thread, starting at comment #203. Since that time a hair found in the hand of one of the victims was tested, and the DNA profile did not match Mr. Weger. "A DNA test that showed a hair found on a gloved hand of Murphy was from an unidentified man." Chicago Sun Times.
"The hair wasn’t the totality of DNA testing Weger and Hale had hoped for. Last November, according to court records, a judge approved Hale’s request to DNA test eight pieces of evidence from the crime scene including hairs found on the women’s hands and the floor of the cave, twine, and cigarette butts. All but one were not testable, according to the report from the Virginia testing company Bode Technology. The only testable bit of evidence was a hair found on the left index finger of Murphy’s glove, the same hand where authorities said her fingertip had been cut off and never recovered. “Chester Weger is excluded as a possible contributor of the DNA profile obtained from sample,” the report states." Rolling Stone
I am nearly 100% certain that the bloody fingermarks at the crime scene did not match Mr. Weger. I don't have time to say much more today, but I hope to come back later.
