Roger Childs: Scott Watson at the Supreme Court

In December 2023 … police decided to go back to the hairs that had been collected from the tiger blanket 25 years previously and DNA test them in an effort to … link Watson to Hope or Smart.

 The following year the Institute of Environmental Science and Research began testing 30 hairs from the blanket. Results showed that none of the hairs contained any DNA from Hope or Smart. Mike Wilson, The Post, September 3 2025
