I'm trying to figure out what DNA evidence could have survived the water. Um, no hands, so no skin underneath the fingernails. Maybe hair on the clothing, or in the wounds or mouth. Or else she talked.
Jaren's brother said they told LE to check her mouth/teeth because he knew she would fight like hell and bite anyone that attacked her so maybe!
Yes, this too was my initial thought in hearing about DNA collected from Margaret and the increase to 1million on bond.. Jaren's brother Lance stated that Jaren's teeth and mouth ought to be thoroughly checked cuz he knew his sister would fight like hell and that she was known to bite(I personally assumed the biting to mean that as Jaren's sibling, growing up together and fighting that this may have likely been a known defense mechanism Jaren had always been known to use) .. so, while a long shot I do believe it could be a possibility..
One other tidbit that we, the public do not know but those involved in incarcerating the two suspects would have full knowledge of is that upon their both being arrested, processed, and booked there would be of course a thorough search done of both suspects bodies, along with thorough documenting done of their physical appearance by photographing any knicks, cuts, bruises, scratch marks, BITES, etc.. etc..
I believe that their being apprehended so very soon after the murder could likely yield results such as those aforementioned that had they been arrested even a week later such injuries, cuts, knicks, bites, bruising, etc would be fully healed with no sign of having been there.. kwim? ..i know in the Lauren Giddings murder/dismemberment that her alleged killer was arrested within a week of the murder, quite similarly as these two on unrelated charges just to IMO quickly get the suspect in custody.. Lauren Giddings too was known to be feisty as well as top notch physically fit and said that she too would have put up a fight to live.. when her alleged killer, Stephen McDaniel was quickly arrested and booked and upon his being processed its been stated that he in fact had scratch marks down his sides I believe(sadly Lauren's hands have never been recovered.. in fact only part recovered was her torso
).. recalling this i now wonder if similarly Margaret could have some type of visibly seen injuries that were inflicted as defensive wounds from Jaren in her fighting back? .
Definitely a possibility I'd say.. and as I said earlier just another positive of having arrested the suspects so soon after the murder was committed.. if such injuries were present just a matter of weeks or even days later of waiting to bring them into custody would have lost documentation of such injuries forever..
Just some thoughts..
