Was the duct tape ever tested for DNA evidence or fingerprints?

Do we know if these were looked into further?

Pitzer’s mother thinks her daughter may have been murdered as a consequence of her previous work as an informer in a federal case; her evidence helped send an Arkansas man to prison for seven years. She met the man’s wife after she moved to California, and the wife knew the people Pitzer had traveled with.

Several months later, in December 2005, authorities searched a mine in Ludlow, California, known as the Red Dog Mine. This Mojave Desert mine also happened to be owned by one of Chuck’s close friends, Dan Dansbury.
