DNA evidence was the main focus of the first half of testimony Monday in the Delphi murders trial.

Stacy Bozinovski, forensic scientist and DNA analyst with the Indiana State Police Lab, testified that she went through all of the swabs and fibers tested following the 2017 murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German.

Hairs found around the fingers of Williams belong to Liberty’s older sister Kelsi, confirmed Bozinovski. She also testified that male DNA was found on some swabs, but she clarified that finding male DNA on some of the areas swabbed was “not necessarily an unusual result.”

Swabs also indicated possible semen, but no semen was officially detected.

DNA testing on the cartridge was “insufficient for further analysis”, and Bozinovski testified that DNA can be hard to pull from cartridges because they’re so small.

Partial profiles were found, but there wasn’t enough to develop a profile.

An unknown male did alert investigators, but it turned out to be a lab employee. Lab employees had to be reminded to wear protective equipment.

Three hairs collected were not consistent with Abby and Libby, Bozinovski testified. She stated there are tests that could analyze hairs without a root, but the lab was afraid of destroying the samples, so they did not move forward with testing. Bozinovski said hair tests of this nature also yielded low success rates.

Through all of this testimony, there was not one link between suspect Richard Allen and the crime scene.

When asked directly if Allen’s DNA was found, Bozinovski said no.
