This is exactly why we need more funding for DNA testing.

I realize that the real story here is that the dad was a suspect (and subsequently arrested on child porn charges) but some cretin already in jail for stealing a car is actually the rapist and killer of this sweet 6-year-old.

The slaying and rape was 2006. The databank just got around to testing the DNA. Did you know some jurisdictions are not allotted much funding for DNA testing and that private moneys are the only thing keeping it going?

This is why Congress and I are friends. We need more federal and state funding, STAT for all of these samples, so that we can capture criminals, remove suspicion from the innocent and let these families have some peace and knowledge. I will never use the word closure.
