I don't want to be too graphic, but if Hailey's remains were skeletal there wouldn't be a stomach or the fleshy part of the mouth or under the fingernails to take DNA from. A human body outside in the elements for 28 months would most likely not have any flesh left at all. Bones, teeth and hair would remain. There might be a very slim chance that DNA could have come from the sweatpants found with/on the body.
There could also be marks, holes etc... on the sweatpants that show where a weapon was used. It's a long shot, but possible.
I think that LE is consolidating their case against both Shawn and Billie. The fact that Shawn (and his lawyer) has made no comment might mean that he is dealing with LE now to avoid the DP or cut some kind of reduced sentence deal. If LE had a confession from Shawn that implicates Billie in the murder, they might deal for 25 years for Shawn. As a man in his 20's, he'd at least see daylight again before his 60th birthday.
I think they killed Hailey together, that Billie had as much a part in it as Shawn. While I think Shawn is a murdering scumbag that deserves at least LOP, I think Billie deserves the DP for her role in her own daughter's murder. All IMO of course.
