DNA test results suggest that Jerry Hobbs’s confession is false
New evidence, suggests that Hobbs’s confession is false and that police tunnelvision may have let the true killer or killers go free. DNA testing has found semen on swabs taken from Laura Hobbs’s body cavities as well as fabric on her jean skirt. The semen is not from Hobbs. Hobbs is moving for a new bond and to have the DNA loaded into state and national databases to see if a match can be made to another perpetrator. When called by Chicago Tribune reporter Steve Mills, Lake County prosecutor Mike Mermel disputed the results, claiming that none of the semen was found in Laura’s body, and downplayed their significance: “None of the sperm was found in a significant place.”
