Young male's blood on shirt found in dumpster

By Howard B. Owens

WBKW broadcast a follow up report last night about a bloody t-shirt found in a Batavia church dumpster last March.

Det. Sgt. Patrick Corona of the Batavia Police department said a DNA test of the blood revealed the victim was male, and because of the style of the shirt they believe the owner was either a teen-ager or a young man.

He believes the male could now be dead or a victim of a serious assault. Police have not found a connection to any assaults or missing people in the area. They also found no connection with the state's DNA bank. But he says the National Center For Missing And Exploited Children will conduct further DNA tests to create a better profile of the potential victim.

The police are asking anybody with information about this situation are encouraged to call Batavia Police at (585) 345-6444 or confidential tips can be left at (585) 345-6370. The police can also be contacted confidential via this web form.

The web site Missing Kids has more information.
