Bellevue police are
stymied by process

‘From page t

‘. police wanted to talk to the suspects
they would have to go through him.
"If the suspects were south of the
-. border and under arrest for investiga-
tion for homicide, the police could
take the samples. But because they
are in’ Canada, the Canadian govern-
ment has told investigators samples

“cannot be taken, McDonald said. «

“I don’t, want to. blame the
‘Canadian government,” McDonald
~ said, but becatse Canada has’ differ-
“ent rules “we don’t have the access

we would.in the United States.”
"+ ‘The lack of cooperation from the
” Suspects. has stymied the investiga-
* tion, he said. ‘

fi investigators were able to obtain
; the’ samples, that would * very possi-

bly” wrap up the investigation,
McDonald said.

Because police do not have the
samiples, they will have to work at the
investigation another way, he said,
adding, “I can‘t say too much more

- beyond that.”

Additional . material is expected
from the crime lab, he said.

Other. members of the extended
family have been “very helpful" in

- the investigation, he said.

From interviews with the family,
police have learned that one of the
suspect’s with his | family was
strained.

The two suspects left the United
States two or three days after the
murder, said McDonald. They did not

‘ attend the funeral for the three mur-

der victims.
