Sheriff: DNA Matches Missing Student's
Posted on: Tuesday, 9 December 2003, 06:00 CST
Blood found in the car of a suspect in the disappearance of a college student was a preliminary DNA match for the missing student, Grand Forks County Sheriff Dan Hill said Tuesday.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Hill also revealed that searchers found a shoe of Dru Sjodin's near the Red Lake River early in the week after she disappeared. Sjodin was last heard from Nov. 22, calling her boyfriend on a cellphone from a Grand Forks mall parking lot.
The shoe was identified by a college roommate of Sjodin's, a University of North Dakota student from Pequot Lakes, Minn. It's the only piece of clothing recovered so far, Hill said.
Hill also said he thinks it unlikely that Sjodin is still alive.
"I certainly hate to be discouraging to the family or anyone, but it looks to me now that it's more of a recovery mission than a rescue," Hill said.
