owned.

And they were able to dig up dirt.

They have these five-gallon buckets.

And in those buckets, they end up finding buttons.

And they looked closely at the brand.

They looked closely at, you know, is this exactly the button that it is of the jeans that she would wear?

And it was.

Well, yeah, the Slovers have always maintained their innocence, and they have been fighting to appeal their conviction since their sentencing date.

The Illinois Innocence Project stepped in, and about 10 years ago, they were able to get a judge to grant them more DNA testing on evidence that was collected from the crime scene.

And that's where we are now.

Because the Innocence Project has claimed that they have found two profiles on the duct tape that was wrapped over those plastic bags that Karen's body was found in.

And they say that that DNA profile on that duct tape does not link the Slovers to it.

They say one of them is a female.

It's not Jeanette's.

And then they also claim that there was a fingerprint found in blood on the railing of the bridge where she was found.

They say that that was a DNA profile that does not link the Slover family as well.

The Innocence Project has claimed that this was almost like a botched investigation.

They said that there was no eyewitnesses, there was no weapon, there was nothing that links this family to the crime.

Right, so CODIS for Illinois is actually run by the Illinois State Police.

The Illinois State Police are saying you cannot put this DNA that you have collected into the system.
