Forensic testing on a bloodstain found on the back pocket of musician Crispin Dye's jeans has uncovered a person of interest in his unsolved murder.
A NSW inquiry is now looking at his case.A forensic breakthrough has identified a person of interest in the unsolved murder of former AC/DC manager Crispin Dye after key evidence sat untested for almost three decades.
Potentially crucial information written on two pieces of paper found in his shirt pocket were also undetected in an evidence box for almost 30 years. Documents produced by NSW Police revealed the crime scene was a house in Glenwood where there had been a reported 2002 break-in. However, the inquiry was unable to draw any conclusions about what, if any, role the person played in Mr Dye's death, based on publicly available information."It is plainly unsatisfactory that this evidence has lain untouched for nearly 30 years without being found or subjected to testing," Ms O'Brien said.
But Ms O'Brien pointed to expert advice previously provided to the inquiry that most LGBTQI hate crime was opportunistic and that many offenders also took the opportunity to rob their victims.
