Evidence leaks in Madison Brooks case take 'emotional toll' on family as defense doubts conviction

Fox Nation host Nancy Grace joins 'Fox & Friends' to discuss Carlee Russell, the Alabama woman who's currently not facing charges for faking a kidnapping story, as well as her new Fox Nation series on the tragic death of Madison Brooks.

WARNING: GRAPHIC

DNA from the four suspects charged in the alleged rape of Madison Brooks was not found inside the Louisiana State University sophomore, according to her leaked autopsy, which was exclusively obtained by WBRZ.

Genetic material from one of the suspects, Kaivon Washington, was found around the LSU student's genital area, and an abrasion and bruising on Brooks' back side was noted as "highly suspicious for a sexual assault," the local Baton Rouge news outlet reported. 

However, a separate lab report said there was insufficient male DNA present and no indication that an assault might have occurred, WBRZ reported. 

The suspects' attorneys believe this will exonerate them, one of the suspect's lawyers, Joe Long, said in an email, but the snippets of info that continue to be leaked takes "an emotional toll" on Brooks' family, Brooks' mother said.

Brooks, 19, was about to start the second half of her sophomore year at LSU on Jan. 14, when she drank too much at Reggie's, a bar in the crime-ridden university social hot spot known as "Tigerland."

Sometime between her last text to her mom, Ashley Baustert, at 11:38 p.m. and 3 a.m. the next morning, Brooks was allegedly raped, and the suspects are four men she met at the bar.
