Then the evidence pointed to Endres being the target of a stalker or sexual predator. The sheriff said family members and close associates of Endres have been exten sively interviewed and ruled out as suspects. “We've cleared them. We feel confident about that," Paxton said. Detectives are still await ing two pieces of information from the FBI analysis from a set of smudged finger prints lifted from Endres’ SUV and a behavioral profile of the suspect crafted from questionnaires filled out by family members and friends. The unknown fingerprints are from four fingers on a left hand, excluding the thumb. The sheriff is not relying on the information to crack the case. "We need to be mindful of the fact that just because we have unknown fingerprints doesn’t mean they belong to the assailant." Paxton said. Fibromyalgia?
