Sophia Caneiro's Blood Was on Jeans in Her Uncle's Basement — She Was Eight Years Old
The DNA evidence in the Paul Caneiro trial is now on the record, and it's devastating. Forensic scientists testified that blood from eight-year-old Sophia Caneiro was found in three locations on jeans recovered from her uncle Paul's basement — shin, calf, and thigh. Her eleven-year-old brother Jesse's DNA was there too. A surgical glove fused to the jeans by frozen water also carried Sophia's DNA. These items were found fourteen miles from where both children were stabbed to death in Colts Neck. Sophia suffered seventeen stab wounds. According to findings cited in court, she may have still been alive when the fire started beneath her. Prosecutors say whoever killed those kids wore those jeans, wore that glove, and brought them home. That's the physical link tying Paul Caneiro to this crime. Meanwhile, testimony confirmed Keith Caneiro was killed with a contact or near-contact shot through his hood — an execution-style wound delivered while he was already down. The night before, Keith had confronted Paul about $77,000 missing from a family trust. The defense is pushing contamination theories and questioning the investigation, but the children's blood is in Paul's basement. That's what the jury has to reconcile. This episode covers the Day 12 testimony and what it means for the case. #PaulCaneiro #CaneiroTrial #HiddenKillers #ColtsNeckMurders #DNAEvidence #TrueCrimePodcast #SophiaCaneiro #JesseCaneiro #QuadrupleMurder #ForensicEvidence Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
