    De Schiedammer parkmoord, de Deventer moordzaak en de moord op Marianne Vaatstra hebben één ding gemeen: de inbreng van forensisch onderzoeker Richard Eikelenboom, die aan contactsporen minieme hoeveelheden DNA kan ontfutselen. Daarmee kan hij moordscenario’s aannemelijk maken of ontkrachten.[Visit]

  • Denver post: Leaning on a captive audienceDenver post: Leaning on a captive audienceAn inmate whose testimony could help exonerate a murder convict is seeking a judge's protection from prison investigators who appear to be intimidating him.

    The investigators are former El Paso County detectives — one of whom led the probe into the 1991 killings.

    Prisoner Charles Stroud has been both a suspect and witness, and says Corrections Department investigators are threatening his privileges and living conditions if he calls into doubt the conviction of Tim Kennedy.

  • Denver Post: Kennedy CaseConvict coming up for air
    By Susan Greene
    The effort spiraled this summer with the help of Richard and Selma Eikelenboom, the Dutch forensics experts who cracked the DNA code that freed Tim Masters from a wrongful Fort Collins murder rap.

    They found that skin cells embedded in a sponge and pillow believed to have been used as gun silencers bear the genetic profile of "(an) unknown individual(s)." They also found skin cells of "(an) unknown individual(s)" on Staskiewicz's pants and boots and on Jenny's shirt and jewelry — areas where their bodies are believed to have been dragged. Their report shows somebody else's DNA, not Kennedy's, on items gripped by whoever shot, then dragged the victims.

    The state is analyzing the Eikelenbooms' report. El Paso County DAs refuse comment on the results and what they plan for Kennedy's case.
