From the parent article:

Ellen S. Borakove, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office, said, “We’ve excluded all medical examiner’s office personnel.” She added, “We are still actively investigating the match.”

One person familiar with the investigation said that the DNA came from a supervisor in the Police Department’s laboratory, which is also involved in such testing.

Looks like the OCME only attempted to run exclusions on its own personnel instead of including NYPD evidence handlers. That’s one hell of a bureaucratic fuck up, 100% foreseeable and preventable. Also, somebody needs to teach this weirdo supervisor to stop rubbing his unwashed taint all over the evidence (or whatever the fuck it is he’s doing), generally one doesn’t leave testable amounts of DNA on objects simply by touching or holding them.
