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.

Get real-put some WD-40 on the wheels of justice they must be STUCK! Sherry, Ron & Family we are all still praying for justice to be done. Leah deserves rest. HPD needs to get positive answers.
Why is nothing being said about the murder? The public needs to know that this is not forgotten by the authorities. Please give some information to the News and let everyone know this is still under investigation or what the findings are as to the cause of death.
I am a concerned citizen. I can not believe that nothing has been released about her death. The public has a right to be informed. Please people do not let this be pushed under the rug. She deserves to not be forgotten and the people deserve to know if there is a random killer on the lose or if this was familial or relational.
