DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

O.T.

Looks like the Denver station changed the content of the story at the last minute to exclude the portion where they used DNAPrint to run the DNA. Now it bypasses that and says it was a criminal database matchup. Maybe DNAPrint will be mentioned in the actual station video at newstime, but I am thinking that they took it out as it made reference to "hispanic or native american descent" in the original report. Anyone agree?:

Suspect Arrested For 1997 Murder In Boulder
By Catherine Tsai, AP Writer
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) ― Police announced Sunday the arrest of a suspect in the rape and beating death in December 1997 of University of Colorado senior Susannah Chase.
"The department is ecstatic over this," Police Chief Mark Beckner said.
Detective Chuck Heidel, who had worked the case from the start, broke the news to Chase's mother Friday. "She is extremely happy, she and her family," Heidle said.

The suspect was identified as 38-year-old Diego Olmos-Alcalde, who was being held $5 million bail on charges of first-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping and first-degree sex assault.

"As you might imagine our emotions have run the gamut since we first heard of the DNA match with Susannah's case. We are delighted that a suspect has been identified and apprehended," said a family statement.

Police had never given up on the case, talking with more than 100 people possibly involved in the death of the 23-year-old from Stamford, Conn.

In recent years, as forensic science was enchanced, detectives focused on the DNA found in seminal fluid in Chase's body.

DNA from the suspect entered into the growing national database was a match with DNA found at the scene.

He had spent time in a Wyoming prison for a kidnapping in 2000. He was released to immigration officials in July of 2007. Olmos-Alcalde, from Chile, failed to report to Wyoming parole officials and on Saturday he was arrested by Boulder and Aurora police on the parole violations.

He was served with the murder warrant Saturday.
