Thursday a state DNA expert testified samples from Larry Harris' fingers, chest and shoes provided links to Kendra and Alysha Suing.

Harris is facing murder charges for the January, 2008 deaths of the young Suing sisters.

While several points provided DNA links between Harris and the girls, some provided an especially good match. "The statistics came to fewer than one in one-hundred-billion unrelated individuals would be expected to have that profile," said Kristan Evans, with the Iowa DCI Crime Lab. Evans performed the DNA tests on samples sent from Sioux City Police. While she found the girls' blood on samples from Harris, there was no DNA evidence of a sexual assault on either girl.

Police testified they took black and white candles from Harris' home last January, along with bells, a necklace, and several books on Witchcraft. The knife Police found in a master bedroom closet tested positive for Alysha Suing's blood and Larry Harris' fingerprints.

The Prosecution called an Associate State Medical Examiner who said the girls were likely strangled between three and 10 minutes before dying, and added Alysha's neck broke during the alleged attack. "This is something that is commonly seen in the case of strangulation," testified Dr. Michelle Catallier. She said both girls died from being strangled, not because of the fire that broke out in the home the same evening.

Catallier also described a "squiggly line" drawn on both sisters' hands. "When I first examined Kendra I didn't really, I noticed it but did not consider it relevant but when I examined Alysha I noticed a similar mark."

The state's final witness was a Des Moines Detective who searched the contents of a computer taken from Harris' home. The Detective said someone used the computer to look up a web site on serial killer Ted Bundy the day the girls died.

The Defense will begin its portion of the trial Friday.
