Kell Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 And why on earth was this piece of evidence (a blood-soaked shawl, apparently) never seen or heard of before now? I'm not convinced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I read somewhere it was sold at auction in 2007 and the person who received it had it thoroughly examined. I didn't read the full article, my boyfriend was reading it on his computer. He said there was DNA found linking to one of the major suspects. Just after the murders, the suspect was put into a mental institution and stayed there until he died, so in a way he was locked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
