Im going to make this post without much comment except to bolden the passages which I think are crucial, which may have future relevance.

"The basic story is like this: We're now presenting the absolute best information on KC we have, including the testimony of additional witnesses and their contact info. We're tossing in Lyle's DNA profile for comparison. Our hope is that ArcPoint will be able to talk the FBI into letting their staff see the partial profile they have from the tie DNA. They want to check Lyle's profile with the partial, to do their own comparison It's a good control, I think. If the FBI says that Lyle's profile eliminates Kenny from tie ownership, and ArcPoint comes to the same result, would be more confident about that being the final result. Not that I don't trust the Seattle FBI, but ArcPoint has claimed they might be able to do a better comparison then the FBI would do at this stage. (With the FBI's non-budget for the Cooper case)
I told them good luck with the request. I don't know. The FBI allowed the Sleuths pretty good access to the evidence. All ArcPoint would want is a copy of the existing partial profile. Frankly, I'm hoping the FBI agrees to this. They have expressed an interest in seeing the final report on Kenny. It's possible I could work a deal with ArcPoint for us to present the report and Lyle's DNA profile to the Seattle FBI, and at the same time ask them if ArcPoint (not me, just them) could do their own comparison with the partial
Before you say anything, remember this isn't the DNA or the tie itself ArcPoint would ask to examine. Just a copy of the partial profile(s) they gleaned from the tie DNA. Might have to be some confidentiality between Arc and the Seattle FBI. I also want to give the FBI a good head start on the report before releasing it to general media. I was kicking that back and forth for a while, but then I realized if I released to media, that media might actively seek out the witnesses BEFORE the FBI gets a chance to talk to them first. And that would defeat the whole purpose and probably scare some of them off. They've said they would talk to the FBI, but no one said anything about reporters. Only the film company has seen the report so far, plus a couple of close friends I trust. (There will be no leaks from the film company or the ENTITIES I mention!) None of those entities will contact the witnesses at this time. The film company just wants to review the allegations, the testimony, and read the book. I should know something by Christmas, I'm told...but the film rep told me they've been wanting to do Cooper for quite a while now and I think it looks good for us.
