On Thursday, the police reported that there was a complete DNA match between the suspect and traces of DNA found on the victim and that there were eye witnesses that tied Capt. A to the scene. Capt.

The suspect's mother and fiancé, who both claim he is innocent, were in court to attend the hearing.
