I'm not sure which time zone those times are listed for, but if you search your local listings, you should be able to pinpoint it. I'll be watching and recording it. Exciting times for DNAPrint Genomics and DNAG stockholders!

The DNA analysis of the saliva on the cigarette butts shows that the suspect was a white male, whose ethnic makeup is 96 percent northern European and 4 percent southeastern European. Other details of his description came out with as much as 90 percent certainty, but Troendly said police did not want to release those details because doing so may lead to exclusion of possible suspects. The DNA also did not suggest the suspect's age, so police are not describing him as a man or a boy, but simply as a male. http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=local&id=3470539
=========================
In 2005, DNAWitness was used in approximately 100 cases. The Louisiana Serial Killer Case was one case where the use of DNA Witness was considered a major contributor to identifying the killer who has since been convicted and sentenced. This case was featured at an educational workshop for law enforcement at the American Academy of Forensic Scientists in February 2006. Additionally, DNAWitness received national attention when police made an arrest in a case involving the double murder of two women in Napa, California, after narrowing down a list of potential suspects. The test eliminated an entire group of individuals who worked and lived in the Napa Valley area as potential suspects. Initial DNAWitness 2.5 customers include medical examiner's offices, special task forces, sheriffs' departments, and district attorney's offices from various cities. Initial response from preliminary application of this forensics version to various high profile criminal cases has been promising.
