OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - DNA taken from a child rape victim cleared a 23-year-old man charged in the case, prompting prosecutors to ask Wednesday for the charges to be dismissed.
David Lukas Lynch, who police said had been living in an elaborate underground bunker, was arrested Feb. 6 a few blocks from the home where an 11-year-old girl was raped at knifepoint the previous day.
Lynch is currently at Western State Hospital under a civil commitment that is separate from the criminal case.
