LE was really on the ball in this case; relieved that an arrest has been made so quickly.
When Jenise was first reported missing, LE started collecting DNA from all of the residences of the mobile home park. That was very smart, IMO. Anyone who refused to give a voluntary sample would have looked suspicious and the samples collected could be extremely helpful once the body was found. Even if the killer had attempted to leave the area before a body was found, LE would already have his/her DNA.
The suspect did not attempt to leave the area in this case. He is a neighbor of the Wright family. He probably knew Jenise and her siblings. He raped Jenise; hope he's charged as an adult.
Snip:
Authorities have arrested a 17-year-old boy in the death of 6-year-old Bremerton girl Jenise Wright.
The teenager, who was not named, will be booked on investigation of second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter and child rape, said detective Lt. Earl Smith of the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office during an afternoon press conference Saturday.
Smith said the suspect was arrested earlier in the day after the Washington State Patrol crime lab produced forensic evidence linking the teenager to Wright.
Part of the investigation has focused on the collection of DNA samples, and authorities have said every person in the 103-unit community has complied voluntarily with the request for DNA samples. The Washington State Patrol was supporting the investigation by staffing its crime lab 24 hours a day until the samples could be processed.
