Jessica Ridgeway murder: New Person of Interest emerges, may be cleared

So far, this Gather report appears to be the only one involving a possible suspect in the murder and dismemberment of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway. If the report is accurate, he may have been cleared, or authorities are awaiting results of DNA testing.

Jessica Ridgeway breaking update: U.S. Marshals and other officials “converged” on a home in Denver late Friday night, armed with rifles. Reports indicate that the registered sex offender living in the home is a person of interest in the disappearance and brutal murder of the missing 10-year-old Westminster girl.

Reports also allege that the armed Marshals requested DNA samples from the RSO, and stayed inside the home for up to a half hour. However, nobody left the home in handcuffs. A woman who says she is the man’s mother claims that he was cleared of suspicion, but officials are not commenting.
