“A cigarette butt in Harris’ house, not present two days before her death, contained saliva that matched Scanlon’s saliva. Scanlon’s head hairs and one pubic hair were found on Harris’ bed. Further, on the day of Harris’ death Scanlon pawned a gold ring similar to one that Carlos Breeden owned and which went missing following Harris’ death.”
