Definition of a hit: CODIS Matches: NDIS, SDIS, or LDIS finds a DNA match, CODIS software generates a report that shows a match and/or “hit” has been made and then provides an offender or forensic profile based on the sample received.

In other words, crime scene DNA is fed into the CODIS database and if the suspect’s DNA is in the database it will result in a “hit.”


THIS NEVER HAPPENED in the case of Mark Goudeau.  Based upon a recent interview with the DPS DNA technician there was never a DNA CODIS “hit” on Mark.   Rather, Mark's DNA was "fished" out of the database by the DNA technician who was provided his name.

Also as a witness giving testimony to a grand jury, September 14, 2006, Detective Frank Duran was asked repeatedly by the several members of the grand jury on how was it law enforcement first became aware of Mark.   Instead of telling the grand jury the facts - that Mark had been singled out and  targeted by the police, he falsely tells them he first came to know of Mark when he was alerted to a DNA database “hit” by the State’s DNA technician Lorraine Heath.

Later, at a pre-trial interview with Heath, and testimony from Duran himself during trial, both give very different accounts as to when Mark’s name actually did first came to them.  Both admit, only after being pressurized, that Duran himself provided Heath Mark’s name.  Heath then fishes Mark’s DNA out of the database.  There was never a cold “hit.”

Police (Andy Hill) telling the media that this was a cold “hit” is a bald face lie.  It never happened.

The two crime scene labs which tested the DNA swabs, City of Phoenix and Department of Public Safety, can’t even agree on their analysis.

And better yet, now a nephew of Mark’s, interviewed by channel 3, May 16, told the investigative reporter that the police now considered him a “prime suspect” for the sexual assault case Mark has been charged with.

And so it goes, the police out there naming other people as suspects and searching high and low, swabbing all the Goudeau’s they can find in a last ditch effort to save their miserably weak case. An exercise in futility since they can never definitively get through the entire family or anyone’s family for that matter.


Think about it.  If the DNA were a match to Mark's the state wouldn't be swabbing family members.  They profess their evidence is rock solid yet their actions suggest the complete opposite as far away from rock solid as you can get.  This is a complete and total miscarriage of justice that parallels closely to the Duke La Crosse situation.
