Woman's DNA found on suspect's jeans
Defense attorney discloses results of police analysis in Gardner-Quinn death

BURLINGTON, Vt. -- DNA from a blood sample taken from clothing of the prime suspect in the disappearance of a University of Vermont student from Virginia has been found to match hers.
The blood was found on the jeans of Brian L. Rooney, 36, according to an affidavit whose findings were disclosed by a defense attorney. Investigators have said Rooney is the prime suspect in the Oct. 7 disappearance of Michelle Gardner-Quinn of Arlington County.
Gardner-Quinn, 21, was found dead along a rural road Oct. 13 in what police say was a homicide, but they have not given a cause of death.
Rooney has denied involvement in the woman's disappearance but is being held on unrelated sex charges. During a closed-door hearing yesterday, Vermont District Judge Michael Kupersmith ordered Rooney to submit to DNA testing, according to David Sleigh, his court-appointed lawyer.
In an affidavit, prosecutors said a Vermont State Police analysis showed the DNA samples matched, Sleigh said.
Sleigh, who participated in the hearing via telephone, disclosed the existence of the affidavit and described its findings in an interview afterward with the AP. But he said later yesterday that when he gave the information, he was under the impression that the hearing at which it was discussed had been open to the public. He learned that was not the case, he said.
Deputy Chittenden County State's Attorney Justin Jiron would not confirm or deny a DNA match yesterday, saying the affidavit was under seal.
Rooney, an unemployed construction worker, is believed to be the last person to see Gardner-Quinn alive. She vanished shortly after borrowing his cell phone.
Also yesterday, Rooney was ordered held without bond after entering not-guilty pleas to two new sex charges filed based on information developed during the investigation into Gardner-Quinn's disappearance. He is scheduled for an Oct. 24 bond hearing on the charges of aggravated sexual assault and inciting a felony.
In an unrelated case, Rooney is accused of sexual assault and lewd and lascivious conduct with a child. Those charges were filed as a result of information that came to light during the investigation into Gardner-Quinn's disappearance, but they date to 1996 and 1998 and involve a teenage girl.
The new charges that were the subject of yesterday's arraignment involve a former girlfriend identified only as A.S., with whom Rooney was involved for three years beginning when she was 17 and he was 31, according to an affidavit filed yesterday by Detective Ingrid Jonas of the Vermont State Police.
According to the affidavit:
Rooney routinely sexually assaulted the woman in bed, sometimes when she was sleeping.
Last November, the woman, now 22, was told Rooney had asked a clerk at a convenience store if she knew anyone who would be willing to kill her. Two other women interviewed by police testified that they heard Rooney say he wanted A.S. killed.
A.S. reacted dramatically when told that Rooney had been described in an affidavit released Monday as having used a chemically-treated rag to render women unconscious to sexually assault them. "Oh my God," she told Jonas, before saying she remembered waking up to the smell of "starter fluid" more than once when she lived with Rooney.
In a search Monday of Rooney's parents' home in Richmond, Vt., police found photographs and videotapes of naked women, one of which was labeled A.S. and showed a woman lying face down on a bed, making no movements as she was sexually assaulted.
