The director of the State Police Crime Lab says DNA tests are ongoing on evidence in the death of Marshall University journalism student Leah Hickman.
Soraya McLung says the lab has finished testing the first set of evidence sent by Huntington police investigators. But she says tests on a second set of evidence are not finished.
McLung and Huntington Police Chief Skip Holbrook declined to say what is being tested.
But Holbrook says detectives hope the tests lead them to a suspect.
Hickman was last seen alive Dec. 14. Her body was found in a basement crawl space in the Huntington apartment building where she lived Dec. 21.
While tests are continuing, Holbrook says detectives continue to question people and have eliminated some suspects.
