| 0:00.0 | Phil, your thoughts on that? |
| 0:02.3 | Yeah. |
| 0:03.3 | Well, once you have a subpoena or you have a search warrant and it's presented to a DNA company, |
| 0:09.5 | they really have to follow it. |
| 0:11.0 | And I would believe that at some point they might in the future, I guess they would notify |
| 0:17.5 | the person that law enforcement was looking into that DNA, but that would be down the line. |
| 0:22.2 | So I don't think that there was a leg to stand on in court to throw the DNA evidence out. |
| 0:26.8 | We do believe that it was Brian Colberg's DNA on the snap because of the fact that the DNA was there, |

| 1:09.5 | when they went into his Amazon account, |
| 1:12.2 | they did see that there was some scrolling and looking for another K-Barr knife. So all of |
| 1:17.8 | the things that we're talking about with regard to the K-Barr knife, very, very powerful evidence. |
| 1:23.4 | DNA that is really unrefutable. Once they had the father's DNA, they linked it to him. |
| 1:29.1 | I'm certain that once he was arrested, they did a swab and they matched it to the DNA that |
| 1:34.3 | was found on the tab, on the snap of the knife sheet, the K-Bahn knife sheet. |
