Lisa Staes (Jack of Diamonds, Wisconsin)

They did identify some sperm cells on the swabs, but at the time, there wasn't enough genetic material present to develop a full profile for the male, and certainly not a profile that would be suitable for entry into a database like CODIS.

They were able to detect a trace level of male DNA from a couple of the hairs, but again, the quantity was not sufficient to develop a profile. They attempted to analyze the rectal swabs as well, and there's a lack of male DNA detected, so no further analysis was performed.

So one of the reasons that this case came back around is we had someone call in and say that they had noticed that someone was placing flowers on the victim's grave. And so that kind of spurred our interest and my supervisor's interest in being like, hey, let's have somebody take a look at this again.

I talked with the analyst, and he and I agreed that, you know, certainly 2001, but even 2009 to 2023 is a lifetime in DNA science, and that their protocols are much different. And I resubmitted some of the swabs that we still had, and then I also resubmitted DNA packets.

So the hope is that we'll be able to get a full male profile, right? Based on the advances in genetic genealogy, a lot of times, if you have a DNA profile, you're going to identify it. It's just a matter of time. And so if we get that full male profile, we're confident that we'll have the resources to identify that person.

There is a possibility that someone's out there who knows what happened to Lisa and they're still alive. And for whatever reason, they've never come forward. That's certainly possible. And that solves a lot of cold cases too. So between the physical evidence and somebody potentially coming forward with information, I think that's really what we would need to push this case forward.

No tip is going to be disregarded. You know, we're happy to talk to anyone who might have information because you truly don't know and we truly don't know what, you know, what information is key. There might be something out there that we have no knowledge of that someone brings to us and it solves the case.

Donna Martin (8 of Hearts, Florida)

The knife was taken from a butcher block, which was on top of the refrigerator. And I don't remember if we found the knife, Bill.
