Police hope DNA will bring new leads in Currier case

Essex, Vermont -- October 24, 2011

Essex police hope DNA samples may lead to new clues in the search for a missing couple.

Bill and Lorraine Currier vanished more than four months ago.

Police tell the Burlington Free Press that about a dozen people have since provided DNA samples as part of the investigation.

Police are not saying whether any of those individuals are considered suspects or people of interest.
