But Orr only tested 12 markers (heck, even 67 markers) and he has brothers and cousins far and wide? What happens now? Who really did it? How can one prove beyond a reasonable doubt? Was it Orr or his cousin Dorr, or?

Probably the Y-DNA can be used as supporting evidence at least ...

Oops, I forgot, some of these security agencies don't need reasonable doubt ... off to Cuba Orr goes :-(
