This Seems Like A Press Release
Does the entry seem like that to anyone else? The Kevin (talk) 00:37, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't know if it reads like it, but it should be interesting to see how this plays out, though. I was just passing through when I read a related newspaper article in the Houston Chronicle. Figure I'd see if there was an article to add a reference to.  It's notable enough for me to make the addition.--Hourick (talk) 13:30, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Why is there a picture of Florida, and not Hayes? Jarret949 (talk) 08:22, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Police swabbing mouths
As of today this is a dead link to channel 6's site. The article was reprinted in numerous (not reliable source type) sites. Here is what it says (article date appears to be 2008-02-06):


 * Police Swabbing Mouths During Traffic Stops "To Hunt Serial Killer"
 * DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Police officers in Daytona Beach are swabbing the mouths of persons of interests during traffic stops with special DNA kits in the hunt for an elusive serial killer, sources close to the investigation told Local 6.


 * Investigators said they believe the same man has killed four women execution style in the Daytona Beach area.


 * A profiler said the serial killer is likely clean cut and probably has a wife or girlfriend.


 * And, the Daytona Beach police Chief, Mike Chitwood, said detectives have the killer's DNA.


 * "Genetically, we know who he is," Chitwood said. "We have DNA evidence from the murder scenes -- so, we got that. That is never going to go away. And, sooner or later, we will match the DNA to the physical person and bring closure to everything that is going on."


 * Agents are using the DNA kits to collect as much DNA as possible during traffic stops and special operations in hopes on making a match.


 * Local 6 showed agents stopping a person of interest from Canada, who gave his DNA to officers on the street using the DNA kit.


 * The DNA kits are also being used in prostitution stings in the area.


 * Chitwood said over time, modern technology will lead to the killer.


 * "I can tell you that we are working really, really hard," Chitwood said. "I can tell you that there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes."


 * Anyone with information concerning the deaths is urged to call a new serial killer hotline at 888-619-5734.


 * Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
