The State claims Elmo is guilty. But victims identified two other men. The prosecution buried this evidence.
The Identification: Victim "H.T." was attacked in a similar manner. She described her attacker as a 6-foot White Male with Blue Eyes.
The Problem: Elmo is a 5'7" Hispanic man. He does not match the description at all.
The Truth: H.T. later identified Dean Crawford as her actual attacker. The State hid this identification to keep Elmo as the suspect.
📄 View Exhibit E: H.T. Identifies CrawfordThe Connection: Cancinos was Elmo's coworker. He had unrestricted access to Elmo's garage, tools, and clothing.
The "Innocent Transfer": Because Cancinos handled Elmo's items daily, he could easily transfer Elmo's "touch DNA" (glitter) to crime scenes Elmo never visited.
The Betrayal: Cancinos was indicted for the kidnapping and assault of victim "N.W." alongside Dean Crawford. His charges were dismissed in exchange for testifying against Elmo.
