Whose DNA is it?

Today has certainly been an Entwistle-ful day! Neil has returned to the Middlesex Jail, and the results of the prosecution's DNA testing have now been revealed. Not surprisingly, most of the DNA found on the alleged murder weapon, a .22 caliber pistol, belongs to Neil. Surprisingly, though, there is a small amount of DNA that doesn't belong to Entwistle - and the prosecutors have no idea whose it is! The DNA doesn't belong to Neil's wife, Rachel, his baby, Lillian, or Rachel's stepfather who owned the gun and used it for target practice. Nor does it belong to any member of the stepfather's household. This is the first major stumbling block the prosecution has hit, and I imagine the jury will have trouble convicting Entwistle unless this mystery is solved.

Thanks to the Boston Herald for this info.
