The 900 men, who were between 14 and 70 at the time of Ruf's killing, were asked to have a saliva swab test to have their DNA identified.
That’s a hole lot of adult male DNA.
While it is unlikely the murderer will take the test, investigators hope a relative will and through their results link the DNA on Claudia's body to the perpetrator.
Pretty well admitting there’s not much chance they’ll find him just maybe the family.
The new push comes after investigators in 2010 tested 350 men's DNA in the area, but got no matches.
Tried in 2010 with a group 1/3 the size and it didn’t work.
Police did not say if any of the 350 men previously tested were part of the new group of 900 men
In total now over a thousand DNA profiles on adult males.
Police said after the tests have been taken all DNA that does not come up as a match in the genetic analysis will be deleted.
That’s extremely unlikely.
