I am in disbelief that the evidence was going to be trashed and Lori Farmer's mother took her daughter's murder evidence so it could be saved! Hopefully, DNA will help to set her soul free.....God Bless these families, who, after 30 years, still do not have any answers to who murdered their daughters.



====================Sheri Farmer waits for the answer.

"As Lori's mother, I felt like, up until the time she left to go to camp, I knew everything about her life. I washed her hair. I took her to school. And now, in death, I don't know what happened to her," Farmer says.

In a closet, seldom opened, Sheri Farmer has much of the evidence collected from the crime scene. Investigators were going to throw it away. Her daughter's suitcase is still stained with the dustings of the fingerprint powder.

"Here's her shirt," Farmer says. "So tiny; so tiny."

Time has turned the blood brown.

Sheri believes the killer left part of him self somewhere in this evidence, and if the current DNA being tested isn't conclusive, someday somehow the murders will be solved.

"I think there's something in there that has the answer. I think there's a reason I kept it. I think there's an answer," Sheri Farmer says.

But there is no answer that will compensate for the loss of a daughter.

"It's when I'm watching my other children with their children and my heart aches to know that Lori didn't get to experience that," Sheri says.

The results of the DNA testing should be back by the end of this week. OSBI criminologists will analyze the report before forwarding them to Mayes County DA, Gene Haynes.
