THE TASK FORCE SAID~

There is no longer an open investigation into the Xxxxxxxx family and
the Oakland County Child Killings. This person was fully investigated
by very competent investigators and closed for numerous reasons and
documented facts. When we decided to rejuvenate the OCCK investigation
several years ago, we did take a second look, and spent a reasonable
amount of time combing over this particular suspect's case file and the
information contained therein. I also talked to the investigators who
actually worked on him. I concur with their findings and the matter
remains closed. All of the information regarding this particular
suspect is contained in a rather large binder in the case file room,
sitting along side of numerous other lengthy investigations.

You're not this first person, nor will you be the last, who disagrees
with the investigation into
"Their" suspect. I have literally dozens of people who swear their
suspect is the one who did these horrible crimes. (Some with even more
compelling information than yours). They too have what seems to be
mountains of information, thought out facts, or any other twist they may
have to fit their suspect, ( however all circumstantial), to support
their claims. Several very disgruntled tipsters just happen to be
retired law enforcement. They also get somewhat upset when I have to
tell them the same thing I've told you. One even went to the news media
with his dissatisfaction and complained that the State Police were not
considering his "Theory". When the media contacted me regarding his
information, and were shown what was done/documented, they agreed with
us and the matter remained closed.

However, if new information concerning Xxxxxxxx happens to surface,
please let us know. But to rehash this same information over and over,
year after year, only detracts from this investigation. You can't pound
square pegs into round holes.

Approximately 1 year ago, my partner assisted the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, (GBI) with an investigation which led them to the State of Michigan. They requested we assist them and conduct some followup interviews in Michigan. After completing our assist to them, the GBI agent told us if there was ever anything they could do for us in return, they would be more than willing. Immediately I thought to myself of the person you've spoken of all these years who now resides in GA. A formal request, in writing, was then sent to the GBI, asking if they would be willing to contact him and ask for a voluntary sample of his DNA. "Buccal Swab".

GBI agreed to assist us, and on Feb 1, 2008, contact was made with this subject. He voluntarily signed a waiver of Constitutional Rights to a Search Warrant and voluntarily provided two buccal swabs of his DNA. He was very gracious/cooperative and willing to assist Michigan authorities with our case. (The OCCK investigation).

His sample, along with four other individuals we've recently been investigating, were sent to the FBI lab in Quantico VA. for comparison against our past and "new evidence".

On July 2, 2008, I received the results of the FBI's findings (analysis). Their conclusions are as follows:
The mtDNA sequences from xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx and xxx are different. Therefore, (the five listed subjects, (names withheld), can be excluded as the source of the evidence xxx and xxx.

Ms Dagner, had this coincidence not occurred with the GBI, we would not have requested the DNA sample be taken from this person, however, with the circumstances involved, and knowing the passion you've exhibited all these years on the OCCK case, I felt out of respect for you and the case, "Why not".

Unfortunately, we didn't get the ever elusive hit we've been looking for all these years, but make no mistake, we "ARE" vigorously working this case.

Respectfully

D/Sgt. Gray and the OCCK Task Force.
