Newscenter 5's David Boeri reported that the district attorney's office said that it may receive DNA results from a bone that was found near a bathing suit, similar to the one the missing teenager was wearing the day she vanished.

Whether the investigators find anything or not Friday, they are hoping for good news from the DNA laboratory Friday afternoon.

Thursday District Attorney John Conte said he expected hear Friday afternoon whether there is sufficient DNA from the upper left arm bone and to find out of it matches Bish. Meanwhile, the searchers still in the woods looking for clues.

The search has taken on a tedium of rummaging through leaf litter and brush, dealing with ticks, mosquitoes and black flies. The tedium interrupted rarely and only by discoveries that drive the search onward to the end point -- the discovery of a significant number of bones, clothing or other evidence to define the point of origin or ground zero of the crime scene.

Investigators will continue searching on Friday as the district attorney waits to hear from the lab.
