Wrong again--you, J5, not the wire services. Gillespie thought that he might be able to retrieve DNA from objects such as a makeup-compact mirror Tighar had brought back from Nik, but he learned that it had been irretrievably contaminated during the collection process. He never claimed that it _did_ hold AE's DNA. Tighar will be going back to the island next spring to try and find objects that they can reliably have sampled for DNA.

I don't know who reported that Tighar was tracking AE's DNA--certainly not Ric--because they know it's not possible to do with the objects they have.

Why are you saying, "Then news wire services have it wrong," and then quoting "national news blurbs" that themselves have it wrong?
