I would suspect they got rid of the clothes that they were wearing afterwards, most killers do, they don't keep it around. Where is Damien's trench coat that he always wore ? Yeah, I know his sister said it was there when police searched the house but I just don't believe her. Think about it for a minute, if my brother, son were accused of such a horrendous crime as this, and people were asking where the trench coat was, I would produce it in a heart beat but still to this day, no one knows what happened to Damien's coat, it's just missing. I highly doubt his sister or mother threw it away as it was his favorite coat that he wore all the time and if they did, why not just say so.
Blood on a t-shirt of Jessie's was consistent with Moores, who he described as his victim, blood consistent with Branch/Baldwin on a pendant owned by Damien but sometimes worn by Jason. Jessie said Damien cut Branch and Branch was Jason's victim also.
I am not sure if there is enough blood left to test on the pendant or not, depends on who is doing the talking. I do know they still have it.
Blood on a pendant consistent with both a victim and a perp, IMO, the odds are 60/40 the blood belongs to the victim since we know a crime was committed. Add to that, blood on a t-shirt consistent with both another victim and another perp, the odds are significantly raised that both samples are blood belonging to the victims.
Even if the odds are reduced to 50/50 on the initial sample, the odds greatly favor both samples being the blood of the victims when considered in light of each other.
IOW, 1 sample = coincidence
2 samples = not coincidence, and point towards guilt, but are not conclusive of guilt
Do you have a link to tests that prove it was Stevie's blood on that pendant?
This is circular reasoning. We know the wm3 committed the crime therefore its the victim's blood, and we know its the victim's blood because the wm3 committed the crime.
All that can honestly be claimed about the blood on that pendant is that neither Jason Baldwin nor Stevie Branch can be conclusively excluded as the source, and nor can thousands of other people. To claim anything more than that is grossly overstating the case.
From where are you getting the information Stevie's blood was on the pendant? Jason Baldwin and Stevie Branch share the same blood group, and the blood on the pendant was only ever tested for blood group. Jason Baldwin often wore that necklace, and its not unusual for 16 yr old boys to nick themselves while shaving, so the most likely ecplanation is that its Jason's blood.
Certainly far more likely than the pendant being worn as part of a bloody and violent triple homicide after which no blood ends up on anybody's clothes at all, just one tiny spot on the back of a pendant.
No the crime is not what increases the odds. What increases the odds is the addition of a 2nd. suspect, though now convicted, with blood on him that also matches that of one of the victims. I'm not saying there's proof of anything here. I am simply stating that the Odds Are reduced that all blood belongs to the suspects and not the victims by the addition of the 2nd. suspect with blood on his shirt. The victims are dead. We know their blood was spilled. We do not have any information on any of the convicted as regards any injuries they may have sustained at a crime scene or elsewhere.
As to why Jessie and Michael, and Jason and Stevie, I believe it has to do with their HLA-DQ2 matching in each instance. Is there a report out there where we can determine any subsets (if that's the correct terminology) of the HLA-DQ2 matching? I'm curious about this myself, and that is the only thing I think might offer clarification to the matter.

Except that razor cuts don't spatter, they bleed out on the skin in the immediate area of the cut.
