(VIA NBC) There are tests underway to determine if Jesse Matthew’s DNA is in Alexis Murphy’s car.
According to Randy Taylor’s defense attorney Michael Hallahan, the FBI lab is performing DNA testing to determine if Matthew’s DNA was in Murphy’s car. Murphy’s car was found in the parking lot of the Carmike 6 movie theater in Albemarle County three days after she disappeared.
Earlier this month Hallahan asked the commonwealth’s attorney to compare DNA evidence gathered from the investigation of Matthew with unidentified evidence in the Murphy case.”There were multiple DNA samples found in Alexis Murphy’s car,” Hallahan said. “Most of them came back unknown.”
According to Nelson County Commonwealth’s Attorney Anthony Martin, the FBI lab in Quantico has not given a specific time frame for when the DNA tests will be completed. (read more)
